The Shadow of Your Smile is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in April 1966 by Columbia Records and included covers of "Michelle" and "Yesterday", the same pair of Beatles ballads that labelmate Johnny Mathis recorded for his 1966 album of the same name.
 For Williams these selections initiated a trend away from the traditional pop formula that his album output at Columbia up until this point had adhered to.
The Andy Williams Show is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in the fall of 1970 by Columbia Records.
 In his review on AllMusic.com, William Ruhlmann writes that "The Andy Williams Show LP was not a soundtrack recording from the TV series, and it was not really a live album, although it gets categorized as such.
 What appears to be the case is that Columbia Records took a group of Williams' studio recordings, most of them made during the summer of 1970 and consisting of his versions of recent soft rock hits, and added a lot of canned applause along with some of the kind of musical interludes used to usher numbers on and off on the show, including bits of its "Moon River" theme music at the start and the finish."
Andy Williams' Dear Heart is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in the spring of 1965 by Columbia Records and was the last of his Columbia releases that remained exclusively within the realm of traditional pop.
 After covering two Beatles hits on his next non-holiday studio album, "The Shadow of Your Smile", he would try out samba music on "In the Arms of Love", aim for a much younger crowd with "Music to Watch Girls By" on "Born Free", and focus more on contemporary material on subsequent albums.
The Wonderful World of Andy Williams is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released by Columbia Records to coincide with the December 31, 1963, broadcast of "The Andy Williams Show".
 Various tracks were recorded with members of his family, including The Williams Brothers, who joined him for a remake of his first top 10 hit, "Canadian Sunset", from 1956.
Andy Williams' Newest Hits is a compilation album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released early in 1966 by Columbia Records and was the first LP to compile the singer's Columbia material.
 Seven of the 12 tracks had reached the charts in "Billboard" magazine, and another had been released as a single in the UK.
 Three album cuts were also included along with a recent B-side.
Danny Boy and Other Songs I Love to Sing is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released early in 1962 by Columbia Records.
 This was his first project after leaving Cadence Records, where his albums each had a specific theme, and his first in a series of LPs that covered songs established on stage and screen and other hits from the pop chart and the Great American Songbook.
 This trend would not be interrupted until his 1966 album "The Shadow of Your Smile" hinted at a shift toward contemporary material with its inclusion of songs first recorded by the Beatles.
"Michelle" is a love ballad by the Beatles, composed principally by Paul McCartney, with the middle eight co-written with John Lennon.
 It is featured on their "Rubber Soul" album, released in December 1965.
 The song is unusual among Beatles recordings in that some of its lead vocals are in French, although "Paperback Writer" contains the backing vocals "Frère Jacques".
 "Michelle" won the Grammy Award for Song of the Year in 1967 and has since become one of the best known and most often recorded of all Beatles songs.
The Shadow of Your Smile is an album by American pop singer Johnny Mathis that was released by Mercury Records in March 1966, and included covers of the same two Beatles songs ("Michelle" and "Yesterday") that would be in stores one month later on an Andy Williams album of the same name.
 Mathis also tackled recent easy listening fare on this album ("A Taste of Honey", "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)") in addition to show tunes from "On a Clear Day You Can See Forever" and "West Side Story".
The Impossible Dream is a double compilation album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in late 1971 by Columbia Records.
 Unlike his most recent compilation, "Andy Williams' Greatest Hits", this 2-LP set focused exclusively on covers of songs made famous by other artists and included four tracks ("He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother", "The Last Time I Saw Her", "Long, Long Time", and "Someone Who Cares") that had previously only been available on his UK album titled "Love Story".
 In 2003 these tracks were released on the Williams collection from Collectables Records titled "B Sides and Rarities".
Andy Williams' Greatest Hits Vol.
 2 is a compilation album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released in June 1973 by Columbia Records.
 This collection follows in the footsteps of its predecessor, "Andy Williams' Greatest Hits", in that it is not limited to his biggest and most recent hit singles, although his final two US Top 40 entries ("(Where Do I Begin) Love Story" and "Speak Softly Love (Love Theme from 'The Godfather')") were included.
 It also has an album track not released as a single ("The Impossible Dream (The Quest)"), a couple of hits from his time with Cadence Records ("Lonely Street" and "The Village of St. Bernadette"), two other singles that could have been included on the first volume ("In the Arms of Love" and "Music to Watch Girls By"), and two Easy Listening chart entries that never made the "Billboard" Hot 100 ("Home Lovin' Man" and "Music from Across the Way").
