With six Grammy nominations, 53 Pop chart hits, and 43 albums (15 Gold, three Platinum) to his name, and a 10-year stint headlining his own Emmy winning television variety show as well as serving as the original, longtime host of the Grammy Awards, crooner extraordinaire Andy Williams continues to cast a long shadow in the music industry and indeed in the whole world of entertainment over a decade after his passing. The heart of his repertoire will forever be the 36 classic hits and beloved albums (e.g. Love, Andy) that he cut for the Columbia label, and those recordings have been endlessly reissued and anthologized. But there is one aspect of Andy’s career that remains a curious and very well-kept secret: he cut a lot of tracks for Columbia during his final years with the company that never saw the light of day. Now, as a sequel to the acclaimed Emperor of Easy - Lost Columbia Masters 1962-1972, Real Gone Music is proud to present When You Fall in Love—Lost Columbia Masters 1977-1982, an 18-track collection consisting of over a dozen unreleased recordings plus several rare single-only sides from the Columbia vaults. The material ranges from soft-rock (“If We Get Together Again”), country-pop (" Hold Me") to sweet soul (“Sweet Lady”) to even a 12” disco single version of Andy’s hit “Love Story (Where Do I Begin),” with a generous helping of his trademark Adult Contemporary sound on artful cover versions of Brenda Lee's "Losing You," The Everly Brothers' "So Sad" and Abba's "The Way Old Friends Do." All tracks are mixed and remastered from the original tapes by Ted Carfrae and insightfully annotated by Joe Marchese. Original recordings produced by Robbie Adcock, Nick DeCaro, Steve Dorff, Bob Esty, Dick Glasser, Bill Justis Steve Popovick, Paul Vance and Andy himself. One of the biggest pop vocal finds in recent memory!
