Warm and Willing

Warm and Willing is the tenth studio album by American pop singer Andy Williams, released in 1962 by Columbia Records. AllMusic's William Ruhlmann explained that Williams and producer Robert Mersey "followed the Sinatra concept-album formula of creating a consistent mood, in this case a romantic one, and picking material mostly from the Great American Songbook of compositions written for Broadway musicals in the 1920s and 1930s by the likes of George and Ira Gershwin, then giving them slow, string-filled arrangements over which Williams could croon in his breathy, intimate tenor voice."

The album debuted on Billboard magazine's Top LP's chart in the issue dated October 20, 1962, and remained on the chart for 44 weeks, peaking at number 16. It debuted on the Cash Box albums chart in the issue dated October 20, 1962, and remained on the chart for 57 weeks, peaking at number 19.

The single, "Stranger on the Shore," debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 chart four months prior, reaching number 38 during a seven-week stay. On the magazine's Easy Listening chart, it peaked at number 9. number 10 on the Cashbox singles chart during its six-weeks stay. and number 30 in The U.K during its ten-weeks stay.

The album was released on compact disc by Sony Music Distribution on December 28, 1999, as tracks 1 through 12 on a pairing of two albums on one CD with tracks 13 through 24 consisting of Williams's 1966 Columbia album, The Shadow of Your Smile. It was released as one of two albums on one CD by Collectables Records on February 5, 2002, along with Williams's 1966 Columbia compilation album Andy Williams' Newest Hits.
