[@georgekitchen7046]

I'm 43. I've been listening to this for years. I imagine I will at 70 as well.

[@ericpowell194]

Beautiful song and singer

[@ninarizzo7312]

Lovely song from the lovely Andy Williams. I've been to Lourdes twice. It's beautiful just like Andy and this song!☺️💯🤗❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍👏👏👏👏👏

[@sisterveronicayoung9314]

So very beautiful!! I'll never, ever forget the privilege of going on pilgrimage to Lourdes in late May of 2019. During the torchlight procession we would sing "Ave, Ave, Ave Maria..." and it would bring tears to my eyes. It still does, and did again just now.

[@WondrousEarth]

What a lovely and moving experience you had, being able to go to Lourdes. Ave Maria is a truly a beautiful song. Thank you for sharing

[@MeninodeValpoi]

Yes Sister, this brings tears of love and faith in my eyes and my heart

[@wemustconfrontrealitynow3205]

I was in hospital for a minor operation, aged 6, in November, 1960, and can remember this song, by Andy Williams, playing on the radio in the ward.

[@marmadukeokc]

Play it once a day. Great song by a great singer. How pleasant to listen to. You can picture the village

[@marmadukeokc]

Possibly, the greatest Tribute song bringing the listener to such a quaint beautiful town . Play it once a day to give me Peace

[@helenkitson2796]

[@elizabethmeyer7709]

I woke up thinking of this beautiful song 😍

[@veronicameidus-heilpern8612]

It’s 9:37 AM on Thursday, May 30, 2024. Every time I hear this song I am more deeply touched even when it first came out, I totally identified with it because my middle name is Bernadette and I have pretty much always come on by my middle name since childhood. No just listen to it again and I have tears in 😮😮my eyes 😮

[@elizabethpuerto6208]

I love this song ❤❤❤

I loved Andy. Williams and we would watch his programs. This is one of my favorites and Our Lady of Fatima song.

[@PattyLankeCollins]

They were the best

[@loucamacho100]

This is my favorite of all the songs he has sung. My is Lourdes Bernadette.

[@decafmocha211]

February 11, 1858...the Song of Bernadette lives on...

[@tripodthreefoot2268]

This man makes my Sundays extremely beautiful, each time i listen to his beautiful renditions my soul carry mixed emotions

[@WondrousEarth]

[@PattyLankeCollins]

For my granddaughter. I Met Andy yrs ago thanks to mike Riccio . It was magical

[@PattyLankeCollins]

Oh, my grandaughter her name is Bernadette she’s been hospitalized with RSV AND IN ICU she’s doing better

[@allengruszka5207]

I grew up with Andy Williams wonderful music

[@ronandsarah1]

One word .... beautiful 🙂❤

[@okutuateotonyenathan3108]

Somehow this song was the beginning of my love affair with St. Bernadette over 50 years ago., when I hardly knew who or what she was. She is my patron, or is matron, saint. When I entered the monastery, I voraciously read up everything I could lay hands on about her. What a vessel the Blessed Mother chose.

[@jimHCA]

Absolutely beautiful

[@WondrousEarth]

I agree ♫

[@bettygeorge4415]

A BEAUTIFUL SONG TO A BEAUTIFUL LADY AMEN

[@TobyJae]

The emotion Mr. Williams exudes is amazing. Serenity. I am ever in awe of his gift. Thank you for sharing this wonderful high quality video. It is a pleasure to behold.

[@sauquoit13456]

On this day in 1858 {February 11th} near Lourdes, France, Bernadette Soubirous claimed to have seen a vision of the Virgin Mary who asked for a chapel to be built at a specific site in the area. In spite of initial skepticism from the Catholic Church, the claim was declared to be worthy of belief, and the apparition was named Our Lady of Lourdes. The shrine that was built went on to become a major site for pilgrimage, attracting more than five million Christian pilgrims of all denominations each year. One hundred and one years later on December 8th, 1959 Andy Williams' "The Village of St. Bernadette" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #70; six weeks later it peaked at #7 {for 1 week} and it spent 13 weeks on the chart... Between 1956 and 2007 Mr. Williams had forty six records on Billboard's Top 100 chart; eight made the Top 10 with one reaching #1*, "Butterfly" on March 14th, 1957 for three weeks... Howard Andrew 'Andy' Williams passed away on September 25th, 2012, at the age of 84... May he R.I.P. * He just missed having a second #1 record when "Can't Get Used To Losing You" peaked at #2 {for 4 weeks} in 1963; it's first two weeks at #2 the #1 record was "He's So Fine" by the Chiffons and for the last two weeks, it was "I Will Follow Him" by Little Peggy March in the top spot...

[@WondrousEarth]

What a wonderful talent and so beloved by so many!
