Oh, how I miss tv shows and singers like this. It was a MUCH better world back then. OMG, I wish there was a time machine for me to go back to this time.
While other shows and networks were wiping videotapes and reusing them back then, Andy insisted that all of his show's tapes be saved. Good thing, huh?
I've liked Jack Jones since 15. I had good taste even back then! I've seen him in concert two times. Once at The Colony Hotel in their dinner club in Palm Beach and another time in Boca Raton in a theatre where he signed my CD as he walked into the audience!
Always liked Jack Jones. Kept hearing "Wives And Lovers" on ME Radio in Chicago and now I can't stop listening to his music. Andy Williams has always been a class act. Christmas would never be the same without his incredible voice. This clip is smooth.
A great song to bring in the new year ! This video is a treasure from another era. These two present a great example of role models for men everywhere.
Reminded of what great singing and performing is like. No hiding place on that stage. And extended length productions that blow anything we see today out of the water. Jack and Andy did something we vocalists today are astonished at. Pure, accurate, impeccable vocals with style, plus visual perfection for the camera. Then they all blithely walk down, while still singing, and join others, and the entire dance troop swirls around them, and finish the song perfectly. So much fun to watch, breathtaking, all live, and still vibrant after all these years. My two favorite male vocalists having fun. Wish we'd bring that back today.

Before Jack surfaced onto the major music scene Andy Willams was my favorite singer. Then to see them appear together on this telecast I was probably levitating. No doubt in my mind Andy was Jack musical big brother. Revisiting these videos is good medicine for us older types plus it introduces something for the younger generation to learn from and hopefully return to. I despised the Beatles and all their flankers, not as people I just wanted more straight up pop singers like Andy and Jack to develop, although Jack in Jazz form was extra special.
+joeyb4ever They are both Smooth Baritones - Medium to High Baritone range. Jack Jones being the Better Baritone. He will cross over From Baritone into Tenor range every often, on certain songs that have range. Which makes Jack Jones a Gifted Singer.
Jack was playing the Moon River in Branson the night Andy died, and this clip was shown among others. Jack was in particularly good form that evening, as were his lead-ins McCoo and Davis, and we were also treated to the presence in the audience of Kim Crosby (a special favorite from Jack's Guys and Dolls show a while back) and Les Brown Jr. The whole show had the right tone from beginning to end, and I'm sure Andy would have appreciated it. I know we did.
I just saw Jack Jones perform here in L.A. (Aug. 2017), and besides STILL having that absolutely beautiful voice, yes, he IS a class act. His show was completely G-rated, which is very nice. Frankly, I'm no prude, but I'm tired of blue humor by performers I cherish. It brings them down a notch or two in my book.
Wendy Arrington: couldn’t agree with you more... Jack’s mannerisms, his grace and elegance has always been of part his magnetic lure. You pair that with a generational voice you get the super star ⭐️ we all cherish.
Yes, thats Noel Harrison at the end. The singer who sang the Michel Legrand song, 'Windmills of Your Mind'. It seems he was outclassed here by the duo.
These two are brilliant together. I always loved the Andy Williams show, did not hear Jack sing much until now on you tube, but wow they are both brilliant, and very Handsome --I love Jack Jones voice - so now I look him up a lot.Maybe, I got him confused with the country singer, George Jones (was he country, George?)
+Rita Holland And... it's heartening to think/remember that Jones and Williams were life long friends... they truly liked and respected each other for 40+ years, which is an interesting undercurrent of this fine performance... cheers...
Yes, George was Country, while Jack is Pop. Jack's sort of on a level with Steve Lawrence and Matt Monroe as great but B level stars, not as fully appreciated as they should be. Vic Damone too, another great but under-appreciated singer.
Sure... if one is looking at pop culture referencing... Jack Jones has been undergoing a major rethink among musical historians and jazz critics over the last decade (finally) in a very positive way... Lawrence isn't highly thought of in terms of the historiography of the American Song Book song stylists/light jazz singers... Nor Williams, for that matter... his albums are seen as commercial vehicles mainly... a great voice who just didn't produce technical nor aesthetically demarcating albums... Damone the same... Matt Monroe's a more complicated figure... would take too much time to essay his influence/standing... Jones more and more is bracketed with Bennett as the last 2 major late 50s-onward (Jones only producing one album in the 1950's) key male song stylists of that standards/cool jazz tradition... most of the other 'identifiable' voices are seen as mainly derivative populist (very successful) singers...l
Johnny Mathis is a complicated figure with regards to the historiography of the lineage referenced above (male GASB/crooning/swing greats from Russ Columbo/Crosby/Sinatra/Eckstine/ down to Jones/Bennett and recently Connick Jr./Buble) because he moves in and out of that 'tradition' his catalogue much more given to contemporary pop material with a cross blending into standards singing and the interpretive aspects of popular belle canto song stylization... his voice, as it is/has been presented over the years, registers into that falsetto pop sound - a feminization of the male vocal presentation - of the Platters or later Motown group performance vocalization, as much as a parallel to the jazz/standards singers he loved like Nat King Cole, Billy Eckstine, Sinatra etc., growing up... he's kind of an interesting outlier in many regrads, though he has recorded some astonishing good 'standards material' and his own original pop material has, over time, taken on the character close to standardization as well... so that's a laudable achievement... the one limitation that takes him out of a direct comparative placement with the singers mentioned above is/has always been his hyper attenuated vibrato and sonic readings line to line have never really allowed for him to produce vocals that 'swing' (in that particular cadence) recognizable necessary to anyone who listens to that formulation of musical performance... Still, he's been an epically successful performer for over 60 years! That's incredible!!! P
Andy kaj Jack, du de la De Usono plej granda populara kantistoj, efektive. Agrablaj rememorigiloj de kiam muziko estis atentinda. Vi ne povus helpon kantadon laŭ. Muziko farita por ..i teniĝi vin feliĉan. Ni ..u trezoro ĝi ĉiame.
Is this completely live? It is hard to believe as there aren't any major vocal flaws and everything is pitch perfect. With the modern technology of our times, why aren't the"stars" of today able to sing live the way the old cats did in the past?
Eric Akif There appears to be some vocal improvisation in certain moments, so like the poster above suggested, I think it was live. That's the quality of live performance you get with true talents and professionals, which they most certainly were/are.
Just noticed that Andy's on a higher platform than Jack at the start, and at the end Jack is not on any platform at all (and still is much taller). There must have been a huge height difference between the two.
glennmach jack more like 6’2 ....I’ve seen him on stage he is very tall, I stood right next to Andy Williams at golf course in Monterey he was at least 5 inches shorter than my 5’10 1/2 frame.... that said, a voice of a Giant. Jack and Andy my 2 all time fav male singers ...I give the edge to Jack because he could sing pop jazz.

Don't get me started on who was better...I think Sammy is better than Frank -- the point is they are better than anyone singing NOW. Abbe Buck a listener
Jack had a better voice than Andy. Just stating the truth. Revised comment: I rewatched this video years later. And I have to say.... Andy's voice is pretty good.
The truth is, you prefer Jack. Which is fine. He had one of the purest sounds, but Andy had something I call a "joy" factor in his voice, whether smiling or not. There was about a decade age difference between them. You could add Matt Monro to this male short list. All 3 are singer's singers. Remember, there are those who think Donald Fagen or Bob Seger have the best voice (aka favorite singer). I like Steely Dan. Those people are confused by style over vocal quality. And they probably don't care.
Yes, Jack's voice was much better than Andy's. It even seems as if Andy is trying to "step it up" a bit to compete in a friendly way. Actually, Jack Jones is incomparable. Even TODAY in 2017!
Oh, how I miss tv shows and singers like this. It was a MUCH better world back then. OMG, I wish there was a time machine for me to go back to this time.
Absolutely love them. Not too many of these beautiful, handsome and very talented singers around today.
Wonderful duet two of the finest singers ever and Jack Jones is so incredibly handsome!
Jack Jones has the most beautiful voice ever, but also Andy. Two wonderful voices.
Fantastic voices!!! They don't make em like this anymore!!! 😄
Terriffic...those were the days. Great voices, great songs
Love them both.
Two sharp suits, two sharp singers! Brilliant talent!
Wow! Are they tap dancing?
Two icons. Thankfully their music lives on.
While other shows and networks were wiping videotapes and reusing them back then, Andy insisted that all of his show's tapes be saved. Good thing, huh?
Love ‘em. God bless ‘em. They made our day, and nights, just singing away.all their lives!
Great performance...👍👍 Jack Andy 😎👍🇺🇲🇺🇲
These were the two best of the best!!!
at the time when everything look so elegant
+Miranti Manisyah ISN'T THAT FOR SURE! TOO BAD IT SEEMS TO BE GONE.
Jim Stark negativeness?
What a terrific performance by two of the BEST male vocalists. Bravo!
Well, Jack Jones and Andy Williams were good pals, friends for over 40 years according to Jones... great to see them singing together... 2 legends...
I've liked Jack Jones since 15. I had good taste even back then! I've seen him in concert two times. Once at The Colony Hotel in their dinner club in Palm Beach and another time in Boca Raton in a theatre where he signed my CD as he walked into the audience!
It doesn't get any better than this. Done live, done so professionally that it appears easy. Andy's duets were the best.
they both have a lovely voice..
These two true legends are seriously techniquely brilliant singers. Terrific stuff! Thanks.
They had to be especially good, otherwise they would never have had a chance. Today, of course things are different.
Wow! Jack Jones' phrasing at 2.37 during Get Happy - Absolutely Superb!
the songs choice, the lyrics , so uplifting ! such a great performance ! thank you Mr JJ for sharing .
Always liked Jack Jones. Kept hearing "Wives And Lovers" on ME Radio in Chicago and now I can't stop listening to his music. Andy Williams has always been a class act. Christmas would never be the same without his incredible voice. This clip is smooth.
Two of the greatest! Timeless...
I love more
the trained diaphrahm projection is so good they barely look like theyre doing anything at all but smiling
Two great guy's and singer's my boyhood music my mother it's her who gave me this great clean music got to meet them both.
A great song to bring in the new year ! This video is a treasure from another era. These two present a great example of role models for men everywhere.
This is fantastic ❤

Man I'm feeling good after listening to these two guys and seeing Barbara Eden, every young guys fantasy.
Wonderful!!!
And those moves, Jack... hahaha 3:54
Two fluid, easy, creamy voices - what a treat!!!
So very well done.
That is pure, fabulous show-business in perfection. Thanks Jack and Andy W..

Young singers, look to this kind of video to example what you should strive for.
Where's the auto tune??..... Oh that's right, this is just pure talent
Two tenors? Yeah. Fabulous stuff.
+joeyb4ever They are both Smooth Baritones - Medium to High Baritone range. Jack Jones being the Better Baritone. He will cross over From Baritone into Tenor range every often, on certain songs that have range. Which makes Jack Jones a Gifted Singer.

Who knew Ray Liotta could sing?! 😂
Two 'Heavies'
This is great. Andy Williams, Jack Jones, Barbara Eden...but who is the fourth guy? I don't recognize him.
Noel Harrison?
Ah, Noel Harrison. At that time I believe he was starring with Stefanie Powers in "Girl From UNCLE"
Yes Noel Harrison his father was the actor Rex Harrison who starred in many films but known for his role along side Audrey Hepburn in My Fair Lady..
Is this completely live? It is hard to believe as there aren't any major vocal flaws and everything is pitch perfect. With the modern technology of our times, why aren't the"stars" of today able to sing live the way the old cats did in the past?
Because so called singers today can't sing.
smudger671
Well... Those who are on TV today cannot. Suckers like myself, of whom nobody has ever heard of, actually can.
That's because they were "naturals." Not to mention true professionals.
