The Andy Williams Show (1969) is the second of Andy Williams' variety shows on NBC. After a two-year hiatus smooth-voiced Andy Williams returned to television. With a slightly more open and comfortable feel, the show changed with the times, became a little more hip and focused on more comedy as well as the music. Bands making their appearance on Andy's newer hipper show were Creedence Clearwater Revival, Blood, Sweat and Tears, Elton John, The Rascals, Davy Jones from The Monkees, Gary Puckett and the Union Gap.
