Artists come and artists go but Andy Williams goes on forever. Love Andy, comprising many well loved lounge classics, includes the UK No. 5 hit single Can't Keep My Eyes Off You. (US:8 UK:1)
"Love Andy could be the greatest 'lizard' album ever made. Brilliantly consistent throughout, the material is all relatively contemporary, albeit from the more 'exclusive' supper club end of the 1967 pop 'market'. Though the easy-fiend may harrumph at seeing the like of What Now My Love for the billionth time on a lounge track-list. The sound of Williams' ravishing velvet husk combined with the ingenious and impassioned creativity of arranger Nick DeCaro, takes a tired and over-worked piece somewhere entirely new."
"One of Andy's most popular albums, this contains mostly cover versions of songs made popular by other artists. Even though these songs are not really associated with Andy, the smooth arrangements make these songs Andy's own. With a relaxed version of the Frank and Nancy hit Somethin' Stupid to start the album off, it creates a nice mood for the songs to follow. It's a wonderful performance. A very satisfying album. Good one if you are an Andy fan."
"Even after almost forty years, this music still sounds as good today as it did on the old hi-fi. Now that 'space age bachelor pad' music is in vogue, it's time to get a copy."
"As always, William's brings that golden vocal quality to his performances here, smooth, intricate, outstanding breath control, and always on key - seemingly a lost art in the world of singers."
"Andy's voice never falters or sounds strained in any way. The music just seems to flow effortlessly from him, which probably means that he put a tremendous amount of effort into his singing."
