A Tribute: Andy Williams

A forgotten star? At least in my generation.

It’s time to make a tribute to one of the best male singers! Anddddddy Williams!
He’s an old little man now, but by gosh, he still sang even at his riper age.
Wow, I haven’t heard an older man sing that well since the random man singing opera walking down the street. I really wanted to tell him he was good, but when he got in his car I became just a little-oh I don’t know- scared he’d run me over; since obviously if he belted opera in the middle of the street, running someone over wouldn’t be too much of a feat. No offense opera-guy, you’re a true hero. Really. I’m trying to be sincere here.
Back to Andy Williams. Now, I came upon this guy looking for ‘Fly Me to the Moon’, which apparently he sang. So I really like his voice, at least in this song. So I find a few Christmas songs, and no way, its Andy!! Wow I have my own cyber-stalker! So I look this guy up on the oh-so-famous Youtube; and guess what? I got RESULTS. Yes, I know, a famous guy, amazing. But when I listened to his songs. Again. And again. And again. That’s when I decided I needed to meet Mr. Andy and tell him how amazing he sounds. His voice can go higher than I’ve ever heard a man’s voice go. Other that opera-guy of course.
My favorites, and the one he deserves standing ovations for- no wait, JUMPING ovations, include:
-Speak Softly Love
-Love Story (Where do I begin?)
-Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You
Click to get the youtube video of each. Then fall in love, and GET THEM!!

Now let’s just hope I got my facts right.

Hurrah! So now, I’m sure, even if you don’t likkkee him, you appreciate him and WISH you could sing like that. Yes, I’m allowed to assume.
Even though of the three rules, one of them is NOT to assume. But hell, it’s my blog after all.

Andy Williams, I think you’re amazing.

And may I add he has beautiful eyes?
