My mom was an Andy Williams fan so, as a toddler, I was exposed to this gentle crooner. I've been an Andy fan for 40 years and already owned the vinyl versions of these cds. But what a treat it was to be able to listen to these classic tunes in my car and in my office where I have a cd player. This is a superb collection of Andy's greatest. Believe me, as a lifelong fan, I pored over the Amazon titles very closely and carefully. I decided that this collection would be the best value and the most enjoyable. You'll love it!

You would be much better off spending a little more for the Complete Columbia Chart Singles Collection CD. A 50 song anthology of Andy Williams covering the late 50's - 70's!

This Andy Williams trilogy (Greatest Hits/Greatest Hits 2/Love Story) has in fact most of his greatest hits. Not only that, but some of those selections made popular by others come out even better than the versions by the original singers. In some case, it's because of a more mature, developed voice. Then there's My Sweet Lord. It's not especially impressive at the beginning, but once that background chorus starts getting into its crescendos, it is riveting and surpasses George Harrison's version. Without even a thought of He's So Fine.

There are a few things missing: House of Bamboo, I'll Remember You, and some others. I guess they are avalable elsewhere but they could have well substituted for some of the lesser known items. Regardless, well done!

The sweetest crooner for romantic moods. Timeless melodies sung by a timeless talent. Great music to unwind with someone you love.
