@joesire, the hit version was done by pianist, Roger Williams (no relation to Andy) who use the Ralph Carmichael Chorus to voice the lyrics (by Don Black). This classic song was the theme from the movie, "Born Free" with music by the legendary John Barry (Goldfinger, Midnght Cowboy, Chaplin) RIP
Haveany of you seen that commercial advertising that collection of CD's in which a different version of this song is displayed with a guy playing a piano to this song? Does anyone know what version of this song this was?
Such beautiful lyrical music/composition of an era gone by. Thanks to the America (USA) that used to be....may the goodness, intelligence, poetry, romance, consciousness and all that come back in some form and shed some grace on this harsh and ignorant times. Love and peace through great / uplifting music.
America, we need to make this our "call", to get off our rears and stand up against this socialist president and his socialist congress and house of representatives.
We have got to get busy and elect people who believe in our constitution and not a huge government of elitist morons, e.g. Pelosi, Reid, Frank, Barrack Hussein Obama !!!!
Hummmm, most of America disagrees with you. YOU on the other hand are the moron and need to pull your head out from under. If it were not for a Socialist President (FDR) Social Security would not exist. Wake up... and grow up.
@gwatson678 YOU ARE SO CORRECT! Why are some (most??) Americans in the USA so ignorant?..They are clueless and believe lies as truth. They can't read, reason, think clearly, OMG. Prayers and good music are greatly needed.
I listen to anything from hard core rap to death metal, and I have to say I find a great appreciation for this man's vocal talent. 18 yrs old and loving this song and this man's music. Here is to his voice resounding through ages.
His was the first concert I attended and I was 14yrs old at the time back in 1968. I too listen to hard rock, pop, R&B/Soul and heavy metal bands. When it came time to go to a nice place, I would listen to Andy w/his soft falsetto voice and dream.
@byodinsbeard Hope you listen to this advice for your own good. Leave the trashy music and listen to only this and other great oldies music. You will find it is very refreshing.
@byodinsbeard i am the exact same im 15 a massive metal fan and this mans voice is so astounding that everyone can appriciate its purity and beauty :)
Oh, how I loved the old days, when most movie themes were sung by either Andy Williams or Jack Jones. So warm, touching and memorable, in ways that Monro and many others have never seemed to me.
is that true that he never won a grammy?! if so, then obviously the grammy is a meaningless award. arguably the greatest singer of his (or any) generation!
Matt Monroe was great singer but Andy did this better !! What a wonderful voice !! He really rates up there along with Roy, Elvis , Scott, PJ and Vanian for me !
When I was a kid, I would listen to the Andy Williams Christmas album non-stop all year round. Thanks for posting this. I just read this on line in Variety:
Andy Williams to receive Ella Award
Andy Williams will receive the Ella Award from the Society of Singers at the Beverly Hilton on May 19.
Your music will never dies Andy <3
