A really great voice.

This guy can really sing. When Andy sings "The Way You Look Tonight",he hits notes and holds them as few singers can.
This was truly a classic singing performance. It is so nice to see and hear some of the great performers singing and my only gripe is that this very entertaining DVD should be longer.
How about volume 2 Andy?

WONDERFUL DVD

I JUST WANTED TO SAY I LOVE THIS DVD. IT BROUGHT BACK SUCH GREAT MEMORIES WATCHING THE ANDY WILLIAMS SHOW WHEN I WAS ONLY 12.
THIS MAN HAD SUCH AN INCREDIBLE VOICE THEN AND STILL DOES NOW.
I LOVED EVERY SEQUENCE OF THIS DVD ,ESPECIALLY THE OSMONDS WITH MARIE. THAT WAS PRECIOUS. I JUST WISH IT HAD BEEN LONGER THAN THE 58 MIN. I WANT MORE. I HOPE THERE IS A VOL. 2 , MAYBE 3,
SOMEWHERE IN THE NEAR FUTURE...

Great retrospective--but only 3 or 4 seasons represented

This is an excellent DVD that hightlights Andy's pick of what he felt were some of his best moments during his TV show broadcast from 1962 to 1971. This is excellent viewing material and just plain fun for both those who are starting to get to be familiar with Andy Williams' work as well as those taking a stroll down memory lane. The quality of the picture and sound is excellent and the guests are very talented people. My only disappointment was that maybe Andy could have added other moments from other seasons of his shows--the majority of the clips are from the years 1965 to 1967. I vote this as a BUY; and I would have given it five stars were there more moments from other seasons added. Maybe this calls for a volume two? GRIN

Judy Garland on this highlight retrospective

I enjoyed this dvd, but I was a bit disappointed that it didn't include Judy singing. I have seen a clip in a PBS Andy Williams retrospective where she sang an abbreviated version of "Over the Rainbow" with Andy coming in at the end. Her voice was in good shape, albeit a bit husky, and she looked beautiful. Instead of any singing on this disc, she and Andy perform a comedy sketch where Judy attempts to put makeup on Andy to turn him into a clown.

Otherwise, I enjoyed this dvd which highlights some great entertainers. If you like Andy Williams, this is a dvd to purchase.

And, yes, as others said, I would enjoy seeing another disc released with more highlights.

Great songs and a wonderful time capsule

I'm too young to remember his TV show, and I've been kind of lukewarm to Williams' records, other than the occasional brilliant song or single. But he really shines in this hour long special. This is mostly songs with some comedy thrown in, so you're not going to get a lot of sketch humor, but you do get performers like Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, and composer Antonio Carlos Jobim accompanying Williams. Williams more than holds his own with all the performers, and as a bonus he dances with Henry Mancini. You don't get any of his hits other than "In the Arms of Love" and a spooky version of "Moon River" that plays over the DVD menu on an endless loop. My favorite is Williams' duet with Tony Bennett and his solo version of the relatively unknown title song from "The Pawnbroker" which is just excellent.

This is a definite must own if you like classic pop music and/or variety shows and stands up to repeated viewings.
