The Wonderful World of Andy Williams is an album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released by Columbia Records to coincide with the December 31, 1963, broadcast of The Andy Williams Show. Various tracks were recorded with members of his family, including The Williams Brothers, who joined him for a remake of his first top 10 hit, "Canadian Sunset", from 1956.
The album made its first appearance on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated January 25 of that year and remained there for 24 weeks, peaking at number nine. It received Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America on August 17, 1964.
The single from the album, "A Fool Never Learns," made its debut on the Billboard Hot 100 chart on January 11, 1964, eventually reaching number 13 during its 10-week stay. It performed even better on the Easy Listening chart, peaking at number four.
The album was released on compact disc for the first time as one of two albums on one CD by Collectables Records on January 22, 2002, the other album being Williams's Columbia album from February 1962, Danny Boy and Other Songs I Love to Sing. Collectables included this CD in a box set entitled Classic Album Collection, Vol. 2, which contains 15 of his studio albums and two compilations and was released on November 29, 2002.
