Yes, back in the early '60s, Andy Williams was doing a weekly television and every year when the Holiday Season came around...his warm and wonderful Christmas Show was the best on the air...my children and I would snuggle up in our living room on a cold winters night and watch our favorite entertainer sing traditional and popular Christmas songs, putting the entire media in the Holiday mood.

This is a nostalgic trip back through time...unforgettable live performances that we all remember and cherish...Andy shares the Christmas message through song...this is a classic album for your special time of the year ~ HAPPY HOLIDAYS with ANDY WILLIAMS!

Total Time: 58:23 on 15 Tracks ~ Concord/Neon Tonic Records NTD-6501-2 ~ (2001)

From 1962 through 1983 Andy Williams was a staple for Christmas television viewing. Since then he has made only two specials, 1985's In Search of Santa Clause and 1994's Christmas Show Live from Branson. He is indeed a missed feature during holiday television viewing. However, this CD allows any lover of the Andy Williams Christmas Shows of the past to experience once again Andy signing Holiday and Seasonal favorites Live. What a treat. Thank you Andy for the Holiday treat---now let's all hope that he will soon be back on TV at the holidays---or any time. Andy we miss you.

Anything that Andy Williams sing one can't go wrong. I have been a fan of his since his Cadence days and I have every Vinyl record that he's recorded, however Amazon does not distribute all of them---I could'nt afford to purchase all the CDs. that are listed. In my opinion, he is the most versitile singer of his generation including Sinatra and Tony Bennett.

The Amazon editorial review encapsulates the highlights of this CD nicely. These tracks are essentially culled from "The Best of the Andy Williams Christmas Shows" which is available on both VHS and DVD. Andy's voice is in peak form and every song is a winner, offering the best in both secular and sacred Christmas standards. It would have been great, however, to include some of the songs by both the Williams Brothers and the Osmond Brothers from the same television specials; maybe a Volume II in the near future, Andy?!?

This is a delightful album. If you are an Andy Williams fan, this album is for you at Christmas time. No one sings "O Holy Night" like Andy Williams. I wish I could see his Christmas show, but this album is the next best thing to seeing him.

This is the best of Andy Williams' Christmas CDs in my opinion. Not much more to be said. The man is legendary and his performances are timeless.
