He made this song a hit in the US, though it had forever been an old Irish must.

My grandfather would always cry when he heard this song play. He served in WW2 and his best friend sang it. They were both being shot at, my grandfather made it but his friend didn't. Beautiful song.

I miss the true voices of performers such as Andy. This is absolutely a gifted Man. Beautiful

My mother’s favorite singer. I’m sure we were in front of the TV, her on the couch, me on the floor, when this aired. I was the lucky one, Mom.

One of the most beautiful voices ever! We miss Andy Williams and his warmth.

LONG LIVE ANDY WILLIAMS

Very few people have the idealized voice to sing ...Danny Boy. Andy Williams was one of them. Thank you!

Oh, Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling from glen to glen and down the mountainside. The summer's gone and all the roses are falling. It's you, it's you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow. Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow. It's I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow. Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so. Oh, Danny boy, oh, Danny boy, I love you so.

How did he died

Probably the most underrated crooner ever. People talk about Frank Sinatra and Bing Crosby in sacred tones and of course, they did have their own unique magic. Technically however, Andy knew how to touch people deep with his voice and express a song with way more light and shade than all the others.

He is far more sensitive than either Crosby or Sinatra and a much better singer than either of them. He never had a cult following like those two did but he could sing circles around them both. If you want to know how not to sing this song, listen to Crosby, it'll put you to sleep. Bing had a very beautiful voice but he never touched the heart or even tried to. Sinatra sang from the heart but his voice was not that beautiful, really.

Such a beautiful and sad song. Sung by an irresistibly charming gentleman...

My grandpa died last September. He wished my cousins would learn this song they didn't before he died sadly. So last week we went on a six hour drive to my grandpas favorite lake where all the relatives would camp and have a great time. We all went there about 40 relatives from around America came to it and we camped for a few days. We put a shot of whiskey in his ashes then sunk it in his favorite fishing spot. (we tied together 5 boats). And after we did that my cousins sang this with a guitar and now every time I hear it I cry.

We must never forget how good Andy Williams really was as a singer and entertainer. He could sing so sweet but also hit notes that many singers of his type could not.

For my money, this version by Andy Williams is the best I've seen. It's done live in a TV studio in front of a live studio audience and millions of folks watching on TV (back then, only three channels). Indeed his voice was so pure, so beautiful. And he sang those amazingly long notes with no punch-ins, no pitch correctors, no effects on his vocal... just his magnificently controlled vocal instrument, on perfect pitch, with such expression of loneliness... absolutely the best! He was an amazing talent, and funny as hell every week on his show... thanks for sharing this, Louis!

Andy Williams had one of the very best voices of all time, no doubt about it!

Yes, "DANNY BOY" One of the most beautiful songs ever. Surely, the most beloved Irish lullaby. No doubt, Andy Williams sang this song beautiful well. Thank you Andy, wherever you are.

Proabably the most incredible singer of our time.

My granny just past away she would sing this song to me all the time I love you granny fly high 😭❤️3-2-20

The very best of all of the crooners; he caresses the notes and goes for the high notes with no effort. I'm so glad for recordings.

The most beautiful song i' ever heard sang by andy williams.never get tired of listening.

Andy happened to know by watching KZread, and Danny Boy has been sung by many singers, but his seductive voice itself has never deeply touched my heart in my life. Despite the same lyrics and songs, Andy is the first player to express this song emotionally. I can't believe Andy doesn't exist in this world right now and I think he'll come out once every 100 years.ANDY, I love you.

The longing for class, elegance and true manliness brought me here.

Andy Williams has a voice that would make the most beautiful sunrise stop a moment, just to listen. Thank you for sharing this video :)

Most expressive singer you are, Andy Williams! You have the best interpretation of this immortal song!!! 😇

Andy Williams is the best that I've ever heard sing Danny Boy. When I hear this song, I always end up with with tears streaming down my cheeks. I think it's because I've been in the meadows when Summers return or when the valley's are hushed with snow. And those memories with friends and family are so strong, it just brings out the emotion.

Perfection.. that last phrase is just wonderful.. there are just no words.......

I love this song. I don't have any relationship with Ireland, I don't have parents from there, my family is not from Ireland, but Spain and Italy, but this song give me a deep peace plenty of hope feelings. I love this song like a dear and hidden remembering from the heart. Thank you for this publication Gustavo From Buenos Aires, Argentina

This is the first time I hear this song, and I can say that I like it. What a beautiful song. What a wonderful singer.

Happy birthday Andy.... Thanks for your beautiful songs, those make me learn many things......

Andy Williams is problably the greatest singer of all time.His songs have been heard in every country in the world.His voice is perfect.If you get the chance go see Andy in concert.There is so little talent nowadays that its great these singers are still bringing joy to so many peoples lives.Andy Williams is the greatest singer ever.

Just excellent. I've never heard someone sing it like this before.

My grandmother passed away this month. She used to sing this song. It makes me so sad to hear it, but it makes me feel that she is here, with me. She was a magnificent person. Her grandfather was Edward Fitzgibbons from Carhue Croom in County Limerick, Ireland.

This song and the way Andy sings it makes me ball my eyes out!

1:38-1:44 makes the hair stand up on the back of my neck. What a beautiful voice. RIP Andy.

This version is the most beautifull I know! I like the expression of his face and the end...What a gentleman!

Oh ! how marvelous singing Danny Boy it is , so juicy Andy Williams forever.

I come from a very musical family, who also like to have drink when together. My dad is one of 9 and all of them play and/or sing, so as you can imagine, this song is the bane of my life. I love Andy William's voice but the frailty of the Johnny Cash version moves me to tears every time. If you haven't heard it, I urge you to check it out!

Darn I miss Andy Williams! I think if you can bring that much enjoyment to that many people for that many years you have lived a good life, indeed.

Who's playing this in 2021 like me? After all these years. Oh Danny boy, the pipes, the pipes are calling From glen to glen, and down the mountain side The summer's gone, and all the roses falling 'Tis you, 'tis you must go and I must bide. But come ye back when summer's in the meadow Or when the valley's hushed and white with snow 'Tis I'll be here in sunshine or in shadow Oh Danny boy, oh Danny boy, I love you so. But when ye come, and all the flowers are dying If I am dead, as dead I well may be You'll come and find the place where I am lying And kneel and say an "Ave" there for me. And I shall hear, tho' soft you tread above me And all my grave will warm and sweeter be For you will bend and tell me that you love me And I shall sleep in peace until you come to me.

I am. Just a great version of this song. Always loved Andy Williams.

Wish Andy had repeated the verse to make the song longer. Just couldn't have enough of his remarkably beautiful voice and expression for this immortal, nostalgic song.

What a class act he was. We have lost one of the truly great ones. Thanks for all the wonderful memories.

somebody had to go off to battle and someone is waiting all through the seasons and will keep waiting forever....so sad... we all have someone who we love like this who is gone .... died

No autotuning. Just real, immense talent.

Andy had the best tones, and the best control over his notes. This song is really emotional and I really do love it, it makes me sad but happy at the same time. And It inspired so many people. Love Andy Williams forever! 🤍

I'm, as a person who bears the name Dany from another part of the world, feel very touched!

Beautiful and heartfelt song, given more power by a great voice. Never fails to bring a bit of a tear to the eye.

one of my residents love singing this song. my oh my, does he have a voice.

This has to be the most beautiful rendition of this song, imagine they still had these types of programs on TV.

this song was actually sung by a mother to her son when he was heading to war. it breaks my heart, every time. it was my grandfather, daniel's, favorite song ...he served in the spanish-american war. and andy williams honors the song with his beautiful voice and interpretation.

I love Andy Williams voice. I am Irish. I love this version !

I LOVE THIS MAN, HE HAS THE BEST VOICE I REGRET I NEVER GOT TO SEE HIM IN CONCERT

My name is Danny and my grandfather use to sing this song to me all the time as a kid and hum the tune while doing things around his house. hearing this brought me right back to my childhood and I and tearing up just writing this post. ty op

When you watch this, you are seeing and hearing one of the greatest singers of all time, handling a timeless melody in a unique and truly beautiful way. Danny Boy is a wonderful song, sung many times by many singers. It's only right that there should be versions that set another standard - defining versions of true beauty, by singers whose talent can do proper justice to the greatness of the song. Andy Williams. What can you say. If they sing in Heaven, this is what it sounds like.

I can never listen to this song with out getting all teary. I've listened to it since I was a little girl and it's the only thing that gets me to sleep. it's comforting and makes think of my only friend in the whole entire world which happends to be my band teacher. Just so you know in a couple of years probably 4 to 6 years I will have a book published called "Peanut Head" about him and his name is Mr.K.

My favorite version to sing since I was a teenager ❣️

BRAVISSISSIMO, ANDY!!! My best balladeer ever!👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Nobody cares but I'm 14 and I love this more then today's generic music

After 20 years of people singing me and calling me "danny boy" I finally decided to listen to the reference. Good song.

This song was sung and a friend's father's funeral back in 1989. Every time I hear it I think back to that day 29 years ago. It was the last song played at his funeral. My friend's family is Irish so this was a very appropriate song.

this was sung at my father-in laws funeral. so beautiful!

Beautiful voice, and beautiful man! Years of wonderful music.

oh zoidberg, such a beautiful voice you have.

The summer's gone and all the roses are falling. It's you, It's you must go and I must bide. .... My favorite parts.

If there's any better voice God kept it in heaven.

Wonderful Irish song.

What a beautiful song done as well as anyone could do it. TV used to be a unifying and enlightening force in America. You'd never see this today. Sad.

My grandmother always played this when we spent time together, she is such a sweet and kind hearted woman. Makes me wish for simpler times

A traditional Irish folk, those were the days in war times, a farmer had three sons and two of them already passed away in war. The youngest son Danny was also recruited and had to leave home to join the army and the pipes were calling to urge new guys move. How sad as a father and Peace on Earth
