[txcharmy]

Have always loved this song. One of Andy's best.

Shame it jumps at 0:11.

Andy Williams was a well dressed man. One if his pictures on an album cover, he wears a white suit. I have a white suit made of kashmere, tailored.

[sheltv100]

I like his wardrobe.

[MrBetus13]

I loved this song growing up and have had trouble in finding it. Here it is on you tube. Do you remember it?

[John1948OneA]

@MrBetus13 Of course. It's one of the few pre-rock hits that appealed to young people.
