Andy Williams Popular Song Rankings [2025]
Moon RiverAndy Williams1rank/position
This is a gem of a recording woven from a rich baritone voice and sophisticated orchestration.
Recorded by Andy Williams in January 1962, this classic portrays a traveler in pursuit of dreams through the romantic metaphor of the “moon river.” The phrase “Huckleberry friend” in the lyrics reflects the lyricist’s childhood memories, gently expressing nostalgia and a longing for freedom.
As the theme song of the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s, it won the Academy Award for Best Original Song in 1961, and the album Moon River and Other Great Movie Themes achieved great success, reaching No.
3 on the U.
S.
charts.
Its gently flowing melody makes it perfect for a quiet night of relaxed listening.
Speak Softly, LoveAndy Williams2rank/position
It’s a famous piece known from the film “The Godfather.” Drawing on the distinctive melodies of traditional Southern Italy, it’s a grand and moving song that evokes sorrowful history and people’s stories.
The atmosphere features a composition and sound characteristic of a male artist from Southern Europe.
Hawaiian Wedding SongAndy Williams3rank/position
The Hawaiian Wedding Song is famous as a Hawaiian music wedding song.
While it doesn’t feature many melodies typically associated with Hawaiian music, it’s extremely well known in Hawaii.
As the title suggests, the song is sung in English, so it’s also familiar in English-speaking countries.
It even won the Grammy Award for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance, so I think quite a few people in Japan know it as well.
My Funny ValentineAndy Williams4rank/position
I find the deep, clear voice incredibly captivating.
It puts me in a romantic mood.
It also makes the song’s atmosphere more mellow and sweet.
This is the kind of track I want to listen to alone in my room, completely immersed in its world.
It’s The Most Wonderful Time Of The YearAndy Williams5rank/position
As the Christmas season approaches, the atmosphere in the city suddenly changes and comes alive, doesn’t it? Even if you’re not particularly interested in the hustle and bustle of Christmas, many people still find themselves swept up in the mood and feeling a bit festive.
One of the classic songs that always plays during this season is “It’s the Most Wonderful Time of the Year.” Recorded by the great American singer and entertainer Andy Williams, it was included on his first Christmas album, “The Andy Williams Christmas Album,” released in 1963.
Since then, it has become a beloved Christmas standard around the world.
It’s also featured in the Christmas parades at Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea.
Sleigh RideAndy Williams6rank/position
This song is often listened to during the Christmas season, but if you read the lyrics closely, you can tell it’s more of a winter song.
However, there are versions where the line “There’s a birthday party” is changed to “There’s a Christmas party,” so it’s considered a Christmas song.
Thema From a Summer PlaceAndy Williams7rank/position
Originally, it was the theme music for the 1959 film “A Summer Place” (Japanese title: “Hishochi no Dekigoto”).
In 1960, it was covered by Percy Faith and became a huge hit.
The film’s theme music won a Grammy in 1961.
It seems this was the first time a movie theme song won a Grammy.
