And, as usual, Williams took for his own songs popularized by his fellow male pop singers, Frank Sinatra's \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eStrangers in the Night\u003c\/span\u003e and Al Martino's \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eSpanish Eyes.\u003c\/span\u003e But \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eBorn Free\u003c\/span\u003e marked a notable contemporization of the Williams formula. On his most recent albums,\u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003e The Shadow of Your Smile\u003c\/span\u003e and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eIn the Arms of Love,\u003c\/span\u003e he had leaned toward Brazilian sounds, recording more obscure material and several standards from the interwar period. He even recorded \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eI Want to Be Free\u003c\/span\u003e (AKA \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eI Wanna Be Free\u003c\/span\u003e) from the Monkees' first album. And he scored a Top 40 hit with a pop\/rock arrangement of \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eMusic to Watch Girls By,\u003c\/span\u003e the tune that originated on a Diet Pepsi commercial and had been an instrumental hit for the Bob Crewe Generation. At a time when non-rock pop singers were beginning to be marginalized, Williams successfully threaded the needle, reassuring his older listeners while proving adaptable to current trends. Singles from the album include \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eMusic To Watch Girls By,\u003c\/span\u003e which reached No. 2 on US Adult Contemporary, and \u003cspan style=\"font-style: italic ;\"\u003eMore and More,\u003c\/span\u003e which reached No. 2 as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Record Vision","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52793635078425,"sku":"CS-9480","price":3.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0992\/6937\/8329\/files\/LP-andy_williams-born_free.jpg?v=1783553799","url":"https:\/\/record-vision.myshopify.com\/products\/cs-9480","provider":"Record Vision","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
