R.I.P. Andy Williams

Fascinating that the film studio allegedly recorded his teenage voice as a possible overdub for Lauren Becall in To Have and Have Not. Like Lawrence Welk, a product of the middle-brow mid-west who managed to sing for America for a long and bland moment.

I grew up watching The Andy Williams Show with my parents and loved every episode. Music, comedy, you name it and Andy did it.

It's too bad that this is a generational 'thing'. Shows like his and others of his time helped build a foundation of culture that will never be duplicated. Too many things have happened since which will lead to a different way of thinking, expressing and appreciating. Boy am I sounding my age.

All the best,

I can't get used to losing you.

Andy will be dearly missed

Always liked his version of "Speak Softly Love".

I hate to admit this but I saw him live in Hawaii back 1968. My mother was a big fan and we were there on vacation so I went with her. I just remember he did a long show but truthfully don't remember much else I was pretty young. It was night and the beach was closed and no I didn't get a tee-shirt. But he did have some good songs and a silky smooth voice. That whole Claudine Longet thing kinda messed with his mind as I recall, then she went off to Colorado and killed er a commited a misdemeanor homicide of Spider Sabich. Misdemeanor homicide? Is that like a parking ticket?
Any way hopefully Andy is at peace he was a true talent of his genre of music.
