Danny Williams - Charade

[Thorneycroft1937]

This is a heavenly beautiful song.

[SirBasildeBrush]

@Thorneycroft1937 I have to agree with you.

[havisham3]

A fine singer , his is the definitive Moon River, imo, his"A Weaver of Dreams" is a sadly overlooked song.Not Johnny Mathis,but the nearest the UK came to it.

What a lovely song. I have this vinyl. I also have a song called 'Pepicina'. Have you heard it?

[SirBasildeBrush]

@wasimsworld I don't recognise that one.

Can we have an upload of "a kind of loving" song (the B- side of "Wonderful world of the young")?!!!

[tenniscollector]

hey folks....

anyone out there have " a kind of loving" you can share with us (B- side of "wonderful world of the young" single)?

I've always liked the music of Danny Williams...he only had one big hit in the US, "White On White", but i thought his albums were just wonderful and he deserved to be a much bigger artist than he was...had he come out 5 years sooner, his music would have been very popular...in the style of Johnny Mathis.

It's a shame the way he wound up, but he had a soothing and unique voice...I have most of his LPs.

[taildragger51]

Reality shows & Simon Cowell take note.. THIS is what real talent is about. Sadly missed..

[SirBasildeBrush]

Just pure, clean - and beautiful - vocals.

[MrChrisTRoss]

Worked with Danny many times over the years.He was a genuine nice guy and loved only to work.Mattered not the size of the venue or the envelope!

Saddly missed.

Chris Tucker

PS:Worked with Bazil Brush too....

Well that's to say George Martin & David Nixon!

[SirBasildeBrush]

I'm impressed!!! Sounds like Mr Williams was one of the good guys.

[MrChrisTRoss]

Yes he sure was.A really nice guy.But South African not English for the record

[5999672]

I believe he lost out to the British invasion during that period. I wasn't a Beatles fan so I went to Motown. Surfing music was popular also at that time. I didn't care for that either.

Danny appeared in a couple of films around the same time as he recorded this song. One was "Play it Cool" with Billy Fury and the other "It's All Happening" with Tommy Steele. I wonder if his clips in either of them will ever appear here?

[felixbautista]

Love it ! Nice version. Thanks for posting.

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks for listening. A beautiful version of a beautiful song.

[blondiebabs]

ye s he did sable ...what a shame abbe hes so wonderful!!!!!!

[blondiebabs]

i like this song  ....cool

surprised he never made it big...thnx for the posting..babs

[Sablebombe]

I agree why didn't he make it big his voice was amazing and I still remember him today! ???? In those times and days could be racist - however, seeing as my mum and dad bought this album for me with my first 'record player' - I doubt it! Danny Williams had a wonderful voice

[pizee]

Alas, it is not always those with beautiful voices who make it big. It is such a shame isn't it? I will always treasure the memories of this man's voice.

[PutOnASweater]

Best version of this great Mercer- Mancini songs...have a few of his albums...too bad he never made it big...he had a unique style in the same vein as Johnny Mathis, and just as different..

A great artist.

[SirBasildeBrush]

Thanks for the comment, you're obviously a bit of a fan. It's a beautiful version.

[PutOnASweater]

Would love to hear "My Doreene" if you have it...it's one of his very best! Thank You!!!!

[SirBasildeBrush]

Sorry, not one I have.
