This is a great performance!! Andy at his best proves he could sing anything. He also sang this Live in Tokyo 1988. Where and when was this clip fimed?
@@ben2715 Thank you Ben.Youre spot on .Versatile yes,this rendition of i just called to say i love you,Andy made the song swing ,i had to smile i wasn’t expecting that kind of arrangement , and it he pulls it off with absolute class,great band behind him too.Hey ,have you noticed hes also the best hummer in the business,sometimes in between lyrics he hums .kind regards Dan.
To clarify, Stevie Wonder composed and recorded this song in 1984, four years before Andy began covering it as his concert opener and here in this zestful television performance.
What I liked about him even as early as my 1960's childhood, HE was the one singer always willing to do a more modern song....o went like okay this guy isn't trying to be a teenager but he's bringing them in, to include them and say "your music is cool to me too." even if he jazzed it up like he did here. He once did Aquarius/Let the Sunshine In with the Osmonds on the his show around 1970....that was impressive to my 14 year old musical self . I said to my mom, "Hey, Andy's alright, he'll sing almost anything, not just the old stuff." She said "Watch it young man! Who are you callin' old? You're gonna get a spankin' if you keep that up!" Then we both laughed.
100 percent, @thomastimlin1724! Andy was very open to the pop music revolution in the 1960s and '70s and made several cool soft rock recordings, both covers and originals. Search my channel and check out his performances of Stevie Wonder's "Heaven Help Us All" (with Ray Charles, Cass Elliot, and Elton John), "Never Can Say Goodbye" (live in 2002), "Baby, It's You," and "Working On a Groovy Thing" (with The Temptations, Cass, and Don Ho). He loved a wide spectrum of genres and had a great feel for singing them and making them his own.
I just stopped by to listen to you and to tell you how much I remember your music. I just stopped by to get two ears full of that gorgeous joyful voice. I just stopped by to say I love you and I mean it from the bottom of my heart.
This is a great performance!!

Yes, indeed, a great performance on Johnny Carson from November '88. He opened his concerts in the late '80s with this number.
Thank you for your reply and information.
Ben that was a real treat ,Andy Williams was the real deal .Thank you.
Couldn't agree with you more, Daniel. Perhaps the most versatile male vocalist of his generation.

I didn't realise that Andy Williams sung this wonderful song before Stevie Wonder! Just love both.❤
