''The Andy Williams Sound of Music'' is a double compilation album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released early in 1969 by Columbia Records.〔〔.〕 Although seven of the 21 tracks date back to his years with Cadence Records, where he racked up a half a dozen top 10 pop hits, the selections here are more in the vein of Standards or Easy Listening fare, as exemplified by the two charting singles included -- "On the Street Where You Live" and "Quiet Nights of Quiet Stars (Corcovado)". The album made its first appearance on the ''Billboard'' Top LP's chart in the issue dated February 1, 1969, and remained there for seven weeks, peaking at number 139,〔 and it entered the UK album chart on January 24, 1970, and reached number 22 there over the course of nine weeks.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Andy Williams )〕 The plan to use the collection to promote Williams's previous Columbia releases was explained in an article in the issue of ''Billboard'' magazine dated November 23, 1968: "Andy Williams' 18 Columbia albums are featured in an extensive promotion being sparked by ''The Andy Williams Sound of Music'', a special two-record gift package.... A special () sleeve displaying Williams' 18 albums has been designed for" the two LPs in the set. The front and back cover and gatefold photos for this album are credited to Keats Tyler.〔(1969) ''The Andy Williams Sound of Music'' by Andy Williams (jacket ).
