His “ Moon River” is wonderful
You have to hear Moon River. He is like satin!
Yes, Moon River is probably his other most well known song. I think the original won an Oscar.
Yes! Moon River is just beautiful.
Moon River, 1962 is the song he is most famous for. Audrey Hepburn sang it in the hit movie Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961and it won the Oscar. Andy released it the following year.
Yesss!!!! My parents song. I remember them dancing around the living room whenever that song came on 💓
Barbara Streisand “Memory” and “The Way We Were”
Sharon Jarrett, you had me at Barbra Streisand lady. I could listen to her all day and those songs you mentioned are just dreamy....
For sure. And woman in love and run wild
Great suggestions, Sharon
Those songs are such tear jerkers but equally beautiful
Memory and Papa can you Hear Me.
I’m an old rock an roll hippie and worked concessions at a fair once that he was singing at. Let me tell you, that little bitty man (seriously, he was short...) had me blubbering at the end of his set because his voice is 10x more powerful in person. I was surprised by how much I enjoyed seeing him.
So great to hear younger folks appreciate the talent from decades ago. Tony Bennett is another smooth voice to check out
Tony Bennett ♥️
So true.
Ah Mr. Bennett!
No auto tune, just talent! Smooth as silk
Well, talent and years of vocal training.
Andy sings half the Christmas songs you hear on the radio, It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year’
Yes love that one
All this time... singing along to that holiday staple but never knew the artist, until now.
So true about the christmas songs.
My favorite!!!!
...and Michael Buble sings the other half j/k
His Moon River is beautiful!! Andy pretty much put The Osmonds on the map.
Love "Moon River"! ❤️
Like Frank Sinatra, Andy Williams voice was his instrument, pure power, and no electronic fakery at all. One of the GOATS for sure. This was some of the music I grew up listening to. That song and Moon River were among his best. And speaking of Frank Sinatra, we are overdue for a revisit! 🙂
From the Broadway musical “Man of La Mancha.” Sung by the main character, Don Quixote.
This was our song played for my High School graduating class of 1968. A classmate sang it beautifully also.
And he changed the words, apparently wanting to avoid the word 'hell'?? It annoys me a bit, that moment is such a dramatic one. I was looking forward to it. Not let down by Twinsthenewtrend, but I definitely am by Andy here.
@@christyhounshel9946 Exactly..some of the most powerful lyrics "to be willing to march in to hell for heavenly cause" were left out...
@@christyhounshel9946 - the TV censors back then were probably responsible for the change in the lyrics in this instance. Broadcast TV shows in the 1960s and before (and even some into the early 1980s) were restricted heavily. I recall the craziness of the censors rule to not show Barbara Eden's naval in the show "I Dream of Jeannie" and other silly things like that! 🤷♀️
Yes! I watch the movie with Peter OToole often and love when it gets to this song.
This could be y'all's theme song! I watched a video of yours from a year ago, & then this today, look where you guys are at now and how your life has changed! "Dream the impossible dream..." Keep on being your authentic (like music used to be) selves and reach for the stars! 🤗✌️🕊️🙏❤️
I love Andy Williams and if you liked his voice with popular music you will die for him when you hear him sing Christmas music. One of my favourite singers from the 60s-70s.
His Christmas albums are the best.
Moon River for sure!
Whenever I talk about him and people don’t know who he is, I just say: “He’s the guy who sings It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year”, and then they go “Oooh yeah, him!”
Yes, Tim...he was a crooner , like Frank..remember when you reacted to the Righteous Brothers...Bobby Hatfield...sing Unchained Melody? It was performed live on the Andy William Show!
Yes! Soul & Inspiration for sure!
I was gonna mention that, but I figured a lot of us would think of that!
There’s something about how crisp and clear his voice was and control of it. And of course his perfect pronunciation of every word.
Mike and the machanics The living years ,,, that's a beauty of a song guys!!
Yes!!!
Yes 🙏🏼
Yes, please!!
An amazing song with a very poignant message.
Love him singing “it’s the most wonderful time of the year”!
This originated from one of my favorite Broadway Musicals - Man of La Mancha which premiered in 1965. It’s been covered by everyone from Andy Williams to Luther Vandross, Diana R & The Supremes and Josh Groban. The lyrics certainly stand the test of time.
Moon River by Andy Williams is a song you should listen to. He had a great voice.
Moon River is one of my favorite songs...and also loved by Nelson from the Simpson's th-cam.com/video/Z2El5ttjM9I/w-d-xo.html
I’m thankful I got to see him perform his Christmas show live before he passed away.
Ok, now you did it. Now you need to watch Sammy Davis Jr. The Candyman.
Every time I hear the new commercial without him it's not good.
Anything by Sammy Davis, Jr would be great!!
Mr. Bojangles....
@@nubianncahill3570 yes !
@@nubianncahill3570 Makes me cry every time.
"Can't feel no Autotune....but you can feel a REAL VOICE". So true. Andy had such a clear crisp voice, and he always made it look effortless. Love you guys!
After seeing your reaction to Andy Williams I think you guys would enjoy Crying by Roy Orbison. Terrific story type song, memorable voice.
Love Andy Williams. Great voice and great reaction guys. ❤️
He had a show on tv with his 3 brothers and he also discovered the Osmonds and they were regulars on the show
His jam is "Moon River". Love you guys💝
Nothing can hide what is true talent. I will be 72 years old and watch you like my children. May 23 is my birthday. So glad I was priviledge to been able to enjoy voices that can stand all time. God Bless. By the way sorry about accident, you worked hard for it but God will replace it with something greater, wait for him. Glad your OK.
So so so beautiful Andy Williams was a true crooner like Sinatra was!
Much better voice that Sinatra, Sinatra was overrated.
Love Andy Williams. He did a lot for Branson, MO. He spent his last 20 years here, opening a theatre here, his Moon River Theatre. He also discovered the Odmond Brothers as they were known then.
Elevator music.... Yeah!
This is from The Man from LaMancha a broadway musical about Don Qioute who was always looking to fight the impossible for justice and right
Andy Williams had a good voice 👌 The Impossible Dream and Moon River was good too! Back in the Day! Joan and Keith Bates thanks Tim and Fred
Andy Williams was one of the greats! He had such a smooth, beautiful voice. He also had many yearly Christmas specials on TV, which would just make you feel good as a kid. So nice to see you guys enjoy him!
Truth... "I can feel the real voice."
I remember back in the day, The Andy Williams Christmas specials that were on tv every holiday☃️
The original was sung by Jim Nabors another war song by Green Beret Barry Sadler Ballad of the Green Beret in 1966 right after my brother was killed in Vietnam.
🕊️🙏❤️
I remind myself of him as when I sing it's so different than when I speak. People always think I am a man on the phone that don't know me.
Tony Bennett’s I left my heart in San Francisco and Frank Sinatra’s the way you look tonight will not disappoint!
I agree!!
Blessings being sent to Tony Bennett & family he has dementia.
Treasure Tony Bennett
Back than they song with passion and from the heart🔥
Andy Williams' big hit was Moon River.
Kathy 2122, now you are talkin'...
Amen moonriver!!!
Love how much respect and appreciation you guys have for music of all genres, past and present. One of the best channels on youtube.
Good catch about Willy Wonka. It was the same time. In 1971, my 5th grade teacher treated us by reading us the book.
Other than Richard Kiley’s original Broadway version, in my opinion the BEST version of The Impossible Dream is the one sung by Jim Nabors in an episode of Gomer Pyle. I recommend checking out both on TH-cam.
I just looked it up. Wow! Great performance, and included some verses I've never heard before. th-cam.com/video/7Jkkmb6jEAU/w-d-xo.html
You should not have expected anything less than a great song.
Another Williams. Tim, Fred, Lenny and now Andy. 😁
Grandma 's favorite. Miss those cozy times at her house playing records on her little turntable. The song along with his voice are so empowering. The message is clear everyone. What you want is out there somewhere for you. Find it!!!😊❤
It's so nice to see you appreciating great vocalists from back in the day.
You'll typically hear Andy Williams a lot more at Christmastime with his "The Most Wonderful Time of the Year" song, which I adore. But, his "Moon River" song is what secured a spot in my heart for this classic crooner!
You've probably heard him sing "It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year" at Christmastime. It's used on a a lot of commercials. Also Staples uses it on their Back to School commercial where the kids are moping and the Dad is so happy. Andy's most famous hit was Moon River.
Not only real voices, REAL instruments, not synthesized and our ears do hear the difference. Love you guys!
If you guys like this one, you will LOVE Soul & Inspiration by the Righteous Brothers. Like you said, they just don’t sing like those guys anymore. I’m a big fan, you two are awesome. I DMd you on IG too. Much love ❤️
Andy is an amazing talent (and an Iowa boy!) Pure talent :)
Ah, going a little old school. Andy was quite the crooner. Lots of albums, a great TV show, His voice was easily distinguished from a whole crop of wonderful crooners.
Yes, the lyrics of many of the ballads from the 40's and 50's and early 60's were uplifting because they spoke of higher ideals, of striving to be a better person, of the kind of love that sacrifices for others, and so on. ❤
Soul and Inspiration 🙏🏼
My Mom and Dad would play their albums on a Saturday morning. We would do our chores to these songs with so many others from days gone by. Nat King Cole, Eddy Arnold, Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Johnny Mathis, Doris Day. Don’t even get me started on Dad’s country albums. Thank you guys. Never saw this one coming. Joyce. ARROW *🎱. ❤️❤️ 🙏 🇺🇸
Andy Williams was one of the best singers around. His Christmas specials were must-see events every year on TV.
What impresses me is that these two young men have such an appreciation for music that they listen and appreciate these older singers who are now all gone. You said he reminds you of Frank Sinatra and this is because this style of singers were known as "Crooners" which doesn't really exist anymore or very little of them are around. Great review. Bravo!
Man of LaMancha, the 1st Broadway play I went to!!!
One of the greatest male singers of the last 60 years. Beautiful love ballads as well as iconic Christmas tunes. Check out the album version of "Love is a Many-Splendored Thing"
This is even before "back in the day"! He had a smooth voice. This was back in my parents time. He introduced the world to the The Osmond Brothers.
Dang I'm old! 😂
"I ain't get no goose-bumps from auto-tunes!"
FACTS!!!
Power, touch, vibrato, phrasing, range.....the Greatest.
Yes, Andy is the Best Voice! A fresh, clear, warm, solemn and even joking Voice.Powerful and delicate.No one else has been able to have all this facets....Great Andy!!!!!!
I love to sing this along with him. Another one of my favorite words.
And your both reaching that dream. Love you both 💖x
Andy Williams was a great crooner from the 1960s-70s era. He used to have a variety show on TV and always did a Christmas special that everybody watched. This particular song is from Broadway; it was in the musical Man of La Mancha, which told the story of Don Quixote. Andy was married to a much younger French actress/singer, Claudine Longet, and they had a few children together. Several years after they divorced she shot and killed her lover, who was a ski instructor. Andy supported her throughout the trial. She was never convicted; not sure of all the details of it, but it was a big news story back in the day.
My grandma loved andy williams, she always watched his shows.
Andy Williams..."Speak softly now ". Theme from The Godfather. GOAT...
Jerry Lewis always sang this at the end of the Muscular Dystrophy telethon. Love you guys!
No that was “You’ll never walk alone”
@@shelbyrebman7758 I can still see Jerry all sweaty and disheveled, singing that!! When I was 12, I made a phoney phone call to the MD telethon , challenging the "Buffalo Blaze Busters" to meet or beat my pledge. Of course, I made the call from a pay phone. I am going to Hell for that phone call, but every Labor day weekend, I have fond memories of that telethon!
Have you all listened to Barbra Striesand yet?
Yes! That’s what this reminds me of!! Please watch that one. A famous comedian singing a beautiful song for ‘his’ kids.
You’ll never walk alone
WOW! Marvelous talent!❤❣️🥇
And that's what sets you apart from others, Guys. Appreciation of God's gifting. Carry on Guys :)
Gene Wilder was Willie Wonka.. Wow, I was a child when my parents brought me up on this guy&mamy other back in the 50s and early 60s.Can't believe someone turned you onto Andy Williams & you are expanding your musical awareness. Nice.
Great review! 👏
"Jazz hands" 😆
Y'all are too funny! Facts! Auto tune sure won't! 👌🏽
The 50's & 60's had a number of TV shows that featured wonderful singers, live performances with their actual voices. It was thrilling often to watch.
Saw this man 10 years ago at his theatre in Branson,MO, his voice was still as strong as it is in this video from the 70's!!! A tremendous talent!💜
Amazing! Andy Williams had a wonderful, silky smooth voice.
(Note: that would have been only about a year before he died, from cancer)
I've never seen this guy sing this song, gotta say his voice gave me goosebumps. Thanks, once again, for letting me discover and enjoy some new music with you guys!
You guys crack me up every time! I am a 60 year old Grandma, and every time I watch your videos listening to the great songs of my youth for the first time, I get to enjoy them all over again. It's almost like I am hearing them for the first time, too. Thanks for making an old Granny happy! Hugs to you both! And I give you both mad props for giving the proper respect to these great artists, most of whom are old enough to be your grandparents. It's the right thing to do. Just because we are old doesn't mean we don't care what you think. Great art must be passed on. You two are proof that great art is eternal, and you make us proud of the time we have been here on this earth. Keep it up, boys! My generation screwed up a lot, so we need to remember those of our generation who did life right. I wish I was your Grandma! I'd take you both to a live concert. I live in California. Next Coachella, you should come out and go with me! You'd make any Mama or Grandma proud!
"Happy Heart" by Andy Williams which was also used as the ending song in Shallow Grave, a very by bizarre but fantastic film.
Andy Williams started singing with his brothers in his younger days in the 40’s , then went solo in the 50’s. He had what was called a variety show on tv back in the 60’s-70’s, where he would bring his family, parents, friends & other celebrities on. His Christmas specials were always the best. He sings so many Christmas songs you still hear on the radio every year. His nickname was Mr. Christmas. He also discovered/gave the Osmond Brothers their start when the were just little kids in the late 60’s; long before Donny & Marie Osmond went solo.
In 1962, he sang the theme song Moon River, to the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s staring Audrey Hepburn, at the Academy Awards where it won an Oscar for best original song.
In the early 90’s he built an entertainment theatre in Mississippi named Moon River; that is still in operation today.
I’m so glad the two of you listened to him. Many from his days have sadly been forgotten and not introduced to younger generations.
Twins, I am almost 50 & I never heard this song before either.....
You have seriously missed out if you truly haven't heard this song, or others by Andy Williams! His voice was so silky smooth. Look up other songs sung by him and check out John Gary as well.
Still waiting for you to react to Devil Went Down to Georgia by Charlie Daniels Band. It’s a great story with fantastic music! Come on guys and make my day. I’ve been requesting for a looooong time. Love you both!
Singers of the past were the REAL DEAL very talented. A wide array of beautiful singing voices I really miss that.
Jazz hands! Awesome reaction, respectful and real. ❤️
Andy Williams had a great voice. His version of Scarborough Fair with Simon and Garfunkel is amazing.
I really do appreciate how you both really do love music to the point that you are so open to ALL genres. I am not that open minded with music. I like specific genres BUT I do appreciate a good song regardless of genre.
Same.
When I was a little kid I loved his family's Christmas specials on TV. His voice is so mellow.
Brian. Stokes. Mitchell.
Brian Stokes Mitchell has, hands down, the BEST performance of this song. He’s in the 2002 Man of LaMancha.
I once saw a production of Man of La Mancha with Raul Julia that was great as well. Sheena Easton played the part of Dulcinea. Kinda strange casting, I know, but she held her own ;^)
You can say that again. I will never forget we got last minute matinee tickets of La Mancha with Brian Stokes Mitchell. Hands down the best show I have ever seen.
Every time I hear that song it brings me to tears.....it was my dads favorite song.....there's another person that does this song too.....Jim Nabors.....please check him out when you can
I immediately went to the show Gomer Pyle! I think the actor is named Jim Neighbors. I love this song even though it was released before I was born.
Jim Nabors
The Temptations have a moving rendition of this song.
David Ruffin sings from the unknown depths of his tortured soul. Masterful rendition of this song.
I'm going to look that up right now. Hope I can find it

Andy Williams and his voice, what a magic! Salutes from Brazil!
Andy Williams used to have a show, he would song so many beautiful songs week after week, he was just the best singer - any and every song ❤
“Jazz hands”. 😊 Love these guys!
Gotta do "Moon River" lf ya'll watch any old Andy Williams shows, good chance you will see The Osmond Brothers.
This song was covered by many in those days. It was from the Broadway play, The Man of La Mancha, which was based on the story Don Quixote.
I love Andy Williams. Grew up on him. My mom had many of his records. He also had a tv show which we watched. Thanks for the memories. I play his Christmas albums every year.
Yeah 100% about how there was real voices back then! It does give you goosebumps cause you hear the emotion behind the words. Its also raw af cause you hear everything, even the little imperfections. Now everything is so perfect and so neat that it almost sounds monotoned. Back in the days music had so many layers, live music always sounds better too.
Check out Andy singing "Moon River". That song has been sung by so many, but no one can sing it like Andy. :-)
Andy Williams had a great tv hour back in the day....he was a true talent and gentleman...great song...
Andy Williams ... back in the day ... I remember ... just love
I love you guys, your impressions so rock. A song from my childhood. Thank you for giving Andy Williams and his talent your respect and appreciation.❤
Great words and voice. This song is the theme to Marriage Encounter, a weekend retreat from the 1970s for married couples to strengthen their marriages. Thank you for the appreciation. Andy Williams sings Moon River in a wonderful way which I hope you will also find uplifting. God bless you guys and your loved ones!
I never heard of him either
God bless you twins 😇🙌🖤❤
Nice song
Always makes me emotional this song. Beautiful.
They were called crooners back in the day.
So, the 1st time I heard this song, it was in the musical"man of la mancha"! If you want to be moved and get goosebumps, this is a great movie!!!!! The history is awesome too...and a lesson in loyalty, love, and loss!!
