From a darkened room 70's in Vegas, this grand voice filled the Riviera Showroom with "Anytime" as the opener in middle of audience in a tux...a stunning opener with spot lighting up legendary Eddie Fisher and we were under his spell and never forgot it...a great singer whose career should have continued and in the seventies he was still awesome and what a voice!!!
@barbpainter267
Brings back memories of my dad and two brothers singing this in a the Brick pub in Tottenham North London in 1967
@jszoradi8650
Sweet songs i used to listen on the radio 📻
@Thalia38
I used to own most of Eddie's records when I was in Jr-Sr high school. His voice is as good as I remember. Nice to hear him again.
@EdWatts
Mr. Fisher was on "The Andy Williams Show" with Williams and Bobby Darin, and he was obviously the best singer of the group. He was blessed with an excellent vocal instrument; he never received any lessons or training until late in his career, and that was mostly to build his confidence back after giving up his addiction to methamphetamine. The world grew a little bit sadder with his passing. R.I.P., Mr. Fisher.

What a sure hand Eddie Fisher had with this song! Such a voice.
@jmrodas9
One of those great songs, that through old, are still good enough to hear. Eddie Fisher had a good voice, and the music backing him is good too.
@AsWeSpeak154
Wonderful song and great singer. The songs of that era were so doleful, somber, morose, woeful, melancholy, romantic and wrist-slashingly good. :)
Thanks for sharing.
@roypeaslee1305
Eddie Fisher songs take me back to my teen years. I think he had a great voice and its a shame that he has been so forgotten.
@jmrodas9
One of those records my late Dad had and liked to hear. I was a kid then and through I liked the song and the handsome voice of the singer I really did not understand the song. When I became a teenager I finally understood. Used to hum it when I was a kid even if I did not really get what was being said.
