@sheltv100 yes it was terrible! She has no business performing with a legend like Tony Bennett. She has a mediocre voice, no class and cannot express emotion through song. THIS is a duet, that was a publicity stunt
How did they mic these shows? no signs of radio mics and the quality is great. Suppose there is a big stage mic on a pole or something above their heads ?
My God, picture this: They play this clip to start the Grammys
, so as to show perfection to those way too young to remember. Then they bring out Tony and Andy to sing a duet they are comfortable with, not exactly this, but with memories. Can you imagine the reaction? Does the house coming down around them even begin to describe it?

They're stage presence and body language is so opposite, Andy is so cool and charismatic and Tony is awkward and tense in a charming way. Both voices are spot on and blend beautifully.
I just realized something.....almost all...ALL...of the greats who blessed us with their style and voices from yesteryear where in fact quite small men. Andy, Tony, Frank S., Bing, Tom Jones....all quite short men. Just found that interesting.
Who say andy williams isnt a natural-born singer, HE IS..!! and he has the most incredible technical too.. He strated sing since he was a little boy, he made public performance when he was 8, hah some of you know nothing!! Almost of his clans in Iowa had beautiful voices!! His voice was sent from heaven!!
Yes, Tony Bennett sang I left my Heart in San Francisco, and he jokes that every time its sung, he gets a residual payment for it. That wouldn't be true though unless he wrote the song. Since he didn't only the songwriters would receive a payment.
I met Mr. Bennett personally and shook his hand once in Mission Viejo, Ca. about fourteen years ago while he promoting his sensational art work, he said he had just learned to drive a car not too long ago because he had never needed to on account of taking the subway for many years.I looked forward to the Andy Williams' Christmas Specials for so many years as a kid and I hope these two live forever because I can't imagine this world without them.
The two best male vocalists of the 20th century at a historic 1965 "summit' while both were at the top of their games! Pay attention young people, especially 20 somethings and down, you are lucky You Tube has this classic clip preserved for posterity, you are likely not to be graced with such pure talent and classic style anytime in the foreseeable future given the atmosphere of current music standards.
@TheEldoradoKid kids today have different standards and indeed different lives and dreams than the folks in 1965. BTW Andy Williams was "hippie" music to my granddad.
@asharifi6 There are plenty of people today who simply can't relate to this simplistic white-bread music. There are so many folks on this page getting all crotchety about the music styles of today. It just shows their crotchetyness and their Geritol mentalities, that's all.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I say it again: Tony sounds not worse now than in this video! His voice has changed, got older and throatier/scratchier - but in my opnion, this is brilliant for a jazz sound!
But, okay, it´s clear, that Andy´s days are behind him...him and his voice aren´t very beatiful anymore...
Actually I always loved Tony and his music more than Andy´s.
Tony looks so much better here than he does in the Dean Martin duet. He looks heavier and heathier and he's not been shot from a high angle like some kind of lab specimen.
I'll agree with you, Bobby was taken from us too soon! A great entertainer, greatly missed. And perhaps these two sound too much alike, but wow! I still really appreciate them as well!
I just love this Music....just what I needed at my lunch break to get me thru the rest of the workday. It just puts me in a good mood seeing how much enjoyment these two guys get from entertaining--and I LOVE IT!
@lukasnummer1 Ridiculous comment. It's obvious a guy in his eighties can't sing like he did in his thirties or forties - you only have to compare clips of them singing forty years ago to what they sound like now. They would probably both admit, if you asked them, that their best singing days are behind them.
What a knockout performance! Without question better than Frank and Dean, this pairing, Tony and Andy represent the pinnacle of Pop male performers in the 1960s .. so beautiful, so perfect, so timeless! I'm Glad I remember those times and the Andy Williams show!
Just think this was all done live. Have to get it right the first time and they all make it look effortless another sign of greatness. Wonderful voices.
There's such a feelgood factor about this clip. It lightens up your day. A few people have spoken about getting a daily ' fix 'of it, and I reckon I'm gonna join 'em :)
Great humour there as well as the incomparable singing. Check 2.52, when Andy starts singing I left My Heart, applause, and Tony stands up to take a quick bow.. The timing is superb, when Tony mid line - says ' you thought I was going to do the other one there.. ' and comes back in right on the button
Legends both. They dont make em' like they used to, the industry is all but dead. Its not about the love of the music anymore, its all money. Cest la vie, I suppose.
yep, the soul seems to have leaked out of it. It was hard in those days because you had to be talented to get anywhere, but that's fair enough really as talent is what it should be about. These days you have to be marketable and sod the talent, which is a ridiculous state of affairs.
The good thing is that we have records of people like these guys. They do inspire younger folk, and those with talent will use them as role models. I wouldn't be surprised to see a resurgence of >
< this kind of music, and people who really can sing. There is a market lurking for it...make that ' yearning ' for it..!
Bring on the kids who will sing like Andy and Tony, who instinctively love good music and keep the flame burning for Cole Porter, Sammy Kahn and all the other timeless tunesmiths.
It's a miserable time in many ways and everyone seems to have sold out. But we ain't dead yet, neither is music
p.s. any other Andy Williams lovers might like to stick ' andy williams with simon and garfunkel ' in the search. The three of them sing ' Scarborough Fair '
Theres hope yet. Its just a wonder if the music industry can weather the storm of all this marketable bullshie abd bring it back to the golden age when music was made because it was good, and because the people making it loved it, instead of making it because it will bring in lots of money.
Would love for this era to come back again, when guys could really make music, films, and were cool simply because they were, like the Rat Pack and Brando. Effortlessly cool, unquestionable talent.
@breezebro Then just drive up to a big party in an only Rolls or Ferarri or something, in a tux, and work your effortless charm. Be the Sinatra off-stage! Just a shameless excuse to drink, womanise and bribe your way to greatness.
Tony was cool. Tony was demoted in rank in the Army in WW2 for eating his lunch with a black soldier. He didn't care, he was a friend he knew before the war in New York.
if we have shows like this today.. it might be seen by few people becouse almost the new generation like rappers and naked girld and sex... yeah i know is very sad
The contest ends in a draw..I'm OK with that, hard to pick a winner here. While Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy and even Bing Crosby were truly great overall entertainers (song, dance & acting), these two were unparrelled vocalists, who made it purely with the greatness of their voices; they were simply better singers than all the rest
They are both still with us, and both sound good. Is there anyone here who would not pay good money to see them together? Not that it matters. This teaming is a must.
To be honest, while these great guys could still give most a run for their money ( especially Tony Bennett whose voice is still pretty remarkable, considering his age ) their best years are behind them, as they would probably be the first to admit. This is their legacy, and it's something else. Even so, though in their 70-80s, I'd still be riveted to see them meet, easing out a softer melody together. They would be different, but still great.
you just couldn't sing without really good pitch. The musical standards were so much higher..it wasn't a sweat, it's just the way it was. And the likes of this video is what such standards produced. Seemingly relaxed and easy, but hell these guys are on the button all of the time.
When someone like Madonna gets voted as best female vocalist on earth, you know that things have gone pear-shaped. She's a great businesswoman, but an average voice at best.
Many comments on the quality of the artists and how you don't see this kind of thing now.
I believe that standards have just dropped, that's it. In those days, if you sang off-key, you were on the scrap heap. If you had no voice, you got nowhere and fast.
Singers simply HAD to be as good as they possibly could, and no ifs or buts. They could not be sloppy and call it freedom of expression. they had to sing the song, but be musically perfect as possible It was tough and no prisoners taken,
Are these guys beautiful or what. Jesus you can't just help imagining that this kind of talent isn't around anymore, sure we have great singers but heck is there anything like this...???! Such young guys, loving their gifts and just giving so much pleasure. Timeless.
Still one of the very best EVER on YouTube. Sure would love to see these guys get together for a reprise, nearly 50 years later. Bet they would bring down the house.
still get goosebumps when Tony wraps up
"I left me heart in San Francisco"...WOW, and Andy's voice is smooth as butter! Love these guys!

who wins best singer in this performance?
edwin2029 2 years ago
i'd call it a draw. but they are definitely two of the best ever. and definitely the two best singers alive today

The contest ends in a draw..I'm OK with that, hard to pick a winner here. While Sinatra, Dean Martin, Sammy and even Bing Crosby were truly great overall entertainers (song, dance & acting), these two were unparrelled vocalists, who made it purely with the greatness of their voices; they were simply better singers than all the rest

Tony was more jazzy and Andy was more Hit Parade.
Love em both but that's why I prefer Sinatra he does both.

What a privilege to watch two of the best talents in showbiz in their prime. The kind of thing we don't see anymore, I'm afraid...

I would pay $100 or more to see them together again. This is just incredible. Love them both.

They both are enjoying the songs. Really beautiful, impressive!

OK, how do we get them together again?
They are both still with us, and both sound good. Is there anyone here who would not pay good money to see them together? Not that it matters. This teaming is a must.

To be honest, while these great guys could still give most a run for their money ( especially Tony Bennett whose voice is still pretty remarkable, considering his age ) their best years are behind them, as they would probably be the first to admit. This is their legacy, and it's something else. Even so, though in their 70-80s, I'd still be riveted to see them meet, easing out a softer melody together. They would be different, but still great.

you just couldn't sing without really good pitch. The musical standards were so much higher..it wasn't a sweat, it's just the way it was. And the likes of this video is what such standards produced. Seemingly relaxed and easy, but hell these guys are on the button all of the time.
When someone like Madonna gets voted as best female vocalist on earth, you know that things have gone pear-shaped. She's a great businesswoman, but an average voice at best.
The great dumbing-down phenomenon. Oh my.

Many comments on the quality of the artists and how you don't see this kind of thing now.
I believe that standards have just dropped, that's it. In those days, if you sang off-key, you were on the scrap heap. If you had no voice, you got nowhere and fast.
Singers simply HAD to be as good as they possibly could, and no ifs or buts. They could not be sloppy and call it freedom of expression. they had to sing the song, but be musically perfect as possible It was tough and no prisoners taken,

Are these guys beautiful or what. Jesus you can't just help imagining that this kind of talent isn't around anymore, sure we have great singers but heck is there anything like this...???! Such young guys, loving their gifts and just giving so much pleasure. Timeless.

Still one of the very best EVER on YouTube. Sure would love to see these guys get together for a reprise, nearly 50 years later. Bet they would bring down the house.
