Pop crooner Andy Williams came to be known as "the Emperor of Easy" for his smooth, silky tone and understated vocal style. Williams was a virtual hit machine throughout the '60s, from the stop-time melancholy of "Can't Get Used to Losing You" (later covered by ska revivalists the English Beat) to the uptempo, brassy "Music to Watch Girls By". Williams was also a TV star, whose Christmas specials became an American tradition. In the '90s, he wrote a second chapter to his career by starting his own theatre in Branson, MO, where fans would flock to his daily shows. Later in that decade, Williams was swept up in the lounge movement and rediscovered by a new generation of fans. - HMV

track listing

1. It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year

2. Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas

 

This is the first time that this tune was made the charts in either the US or UK for Andy Williams. Not bad for the former long-time Grammy Awards show host haven't been a threat on the charts with new material since the early 70s and yes I do know that he hit the top 10 with "Music to Watch Girls Go By" in 1999.

I just remembered, they're going to play Wham later aren't they? :o I danced to that last night. LOVE IT :heart:

And I'm so glad Christmas are coming up, I wish this year I'd find My Christmas Love...

I've been feelinmg depressed and un-christmassy but this chart has really festived me up hehe :D

I hate the way he says "gave"! So annoying lol.

this and Mariah have the only 2 decent Xmas songs in the chart

Anyone else think it sounds like he's saying 'Goodbye Mr Aids'? Im surprised the record company allowed it actually. Or maybe its just me being stupid!

I thought that for a minute as well.

 

Oh Andre :( You shouldn't admit to that.

What, dancing to it or loving it? :lol:

LOL, i wonder if Cascada's version will chart higher than this.

 

I remember Billie's version of 'White Christmas' like it was yesterday! Ahh memories, i was only about 10!

Best christmas song EVER. :wub:

I've just sat here and watched this, after a minute I am wondering WHY am I watching a house with lights...I'm wasting my life

 

Genius, best post of the week, give that man a GUINNESS

 

Best Christmas track ever

What, dancing to it or loving it? :lol:

That's like social sucide :(

I reckon anyone can get away with loving any christmas track.

 

Im going ice skating in Manchester next week, that along with this chart will hopefully get me in the festive spirit!

Both TBH. :(

 

That's like social sucide from where I'm from lmao.

That's what's good about being a student, you can make a fool of yourself like 24/7 and no one cares because you're just a student and they're all doing it :lol:

 

THIS YEAR TO SAVE ME FROM TEARS ETC.
