Lonely Street is the fifth studio album by American pop singer Andy
Williams, released in late 1959 through Cadence Records. This, his fifth LP of
new material for the label, is described by William Ruhlmann on AllMusic.com as
"an album full of songs of lost love and loneliness that found Williams
using more of the Mel Tormé-like foggy lower register of his voice." The
liner notes on the back of the album jacket read, "The selections in Lonely
Street, Andy confides, are those for which he feels a special affection. Every
vocalist has a few personal favorites... and it is quite clear to the listener
that this collection presents songs which Andy Williams believes, feels -- and
loves."
Howard Andrew Williams (December 3, 1927 – September 25, 2012) was an
American singer. He recorded 43 albums in his career, of which 15 have been
gold-certified and three platinum-certified. He was also nominated for six Grammy
Awards. He hosted The Andy Williams Show, a television variety show, from 1962
to 1971, and numerous TV specials. The Andy Williams Showwon three Emmy awards.
The Moon River Theatre in Branson, Missouri is named after the song for which
he is best known—Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini's "Moon River". He
sold more than 100 million records worldwide, including more than 10 million
certified units in the United States.
Williams was active in the music industry for 74 years.
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
I'm looking for that lonely street
I've got a sad, sad tale to tell
I need a place to go and weep
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
A place where there's just loneliness
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
Perhaps upon that lonely street
There's someone such as I
Who came to bury broken dreams
And watch an old love di-ie
If I could find that lonely street
Where dim lights bring forgetfulness
Where broken dreams and mem'ries meet
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
Where's this place called "Lonely Stree-ee-ee-eet?"
