Andy Williams' Dear Heart [1965]


 Columbia Records CS 9138


"A good singer and a popular singer are not necessarily one and the same.  Record industry charts are filled with overnight sensations - ephemeral performers who touch, momentarily, a sensitive part of the public psyche.

But a popular singer who stays at the top, soaring far above the currents of changing fashion, requires more than a "new sound."  Individuality, musical skill and, most important, an ability to select and interpret good material, are of major importance.  Few people who watch television, listen to the radio, or buy records would deny that Andy Williams is the epitome of such a performer."  [Excerpt liner notes by Don Heckman]
