Andy Williams - Love Story

Andy Williams - Love Story download v0.8 Andy Williams began his amazing career in his hometown of Wall Lake, Iowa. It was there he began singing with his three brothers in a local Pre*****yterian church choir that was established by his parents. At the tender age of 8, Andy made his professional singing debut as part of the Williams Brothers Quartet. The brothers became regulars on radio station WHO\'s 'Iowa Barn Dance show' in Des Moines, Iowa. From there, the brothers continued their radio days being prominently featured on national stations like WLS in Chicago and WLW in Cincinnati. This widespread radio exposure brought the boys a considerable following which eventually caught the attention of Bing Cro*****y. With Cro*****y, Andy and his brothers made their first professional recording, 'Swinging on a star,' which became a tremendous hit in 1944. In 1947, Andy and his brothers teamed up with comedienne Kay Thompson (who also wrote the popular children\'s book series Eloise') for successful, trend setting nightclub act. Thompson and the brothers spent the next few years performing all over the United States and in Europe. But it all came to an end in 1951 as the group di*****anded and each brother went their own way. Andy chose to move to New York and continue to pursue his vocal career. While in New York, Andy got his first television gig as a regular performer on Steve Allen\'s 'Tonight Show.' For 2 1/2 years he appeared on Allen\'s show which led to his first recording contract with Cadence Records. Andy\'s first album, Andy Williams Sings Steve Allen, was released in 1956. It wasn\'t long before Andy had his first Top 10 hit with 'Canadian Sunset.' What followed was a string of hits that included 'Butterfly,' 'Lonely Street,' and ' The Hawaiian Wedding Song,' for which he received the first of his five Grammy Award nominations. His work in television continued during this time period with regular appearances on 'The Dinah Shore Chevy Show' and, in 1958, for 13 weeks he presented 'The Chevy Showroom with Andy Williams.' In the summer of 1959 Andy was chosen by CBS to host a variety program that was to replace \'\'The Gary Moorre Show' for a 13-week period. When this series of shows concluded, Andy began to concentrate on one-hour television specials. The first, 'Music from Shubert Alley,' was presented by NBC on November 13, 1959.
