Rest in Peace Andy Williams. You did just perfectly, and have inspired and entertained so many folks in this life for so long. May your music live on in our hearts just as you do.
He gave us music through that smooth voice and interpretation that allowed the songs to speak for themselves. No jungle drums, fireworks, tatoos, flashing revolving lights, and decibel levels off the chart. What a privilege to be brought up in his era of music.

by this onslaught of selected earworms past and present.
