Missing Andy Williams

I have always been a huge fan of Andy since my childhood days. He was the epitome of the 60s crooner and always sounded as smooth as silk. I remember the very young Osmonds being part of his show and was even more smitten with him then. I was also lucky enough to see him in his later years a decade ago in Branson and his voice was still just as mocha smooth.

In the years since, I have scoured vintage bins and amassed and nice collection of his hits but also his forgotten gems. My favorite two are 1959's Lonely Street which was the personification of romance and Under Paris Skies from 1960 where he really kicks it with the Quincy Jones orchestra swinging. If any one ever needs an Andy fix - let me know.
