Andy and David - Williams Twins

Twin brothers Andy and David Williams who were born on February 22, 1959, from Henderson, Nevada, USA recorded as The Williams Brothers in the 1970s, and made the Billboard Hot 100 with their song "Can't Cry Hard Enough" later. As potential famous teen idols at that time, they had also made the Hot 100 in 1974, billed as "Andy and David Williams", with the #92 entry "What's Your Name"; this was after a tremendous contribution in The Partridge Family, and features in the of-the-day teen magazines as well as other boys magazines of that period. So many fans of them keep asking something and yes they are, indeed, the nephews of crooner Andy Williams - born in 1960 and just 14 years old when they appeared on "The Partridge Family". In the fourth season episode titled "Two For The Show", Andy & David played identical twins, who fall in love with Susan Dey's Laurie Partridge.

Throughout the early 1970s, the Williams twins made the obligatory appearances in the teen magazines, but didn't really make a big splash because of the big cometitions of famous boys at that time as there were too many teen celebreties. They also appeared on Uncle Andy's television specials, singing Everly Brothers-type songs, as well as several Williams family albums. In the 1970s, they released a few albums, the first called, simply by their full names "Andy & David Williams". Apparently, Wes Farrell was trying to turn them into his next big act, as he and John Bahler produced their second album, called "One More Time", for Coral Rock Productions. According to the album listings, all of the Partridge musicians and singers were present. This would indicate that they were on the series in order to help Wes promote them rather than being brought on to "save the show". A third album may have been released, but so far it has escaped our research. They recorded on MCA Records, and by 1974 had switched to Uncle Andy's Barnaby label and released another album, and single called "What's Your Name?" - a moderate hit that peaked at #92 in June of 1974. To the best of our knowledge, their Partridge song, "Say It Again", wasn't included on any of their albums.As matter of fact, the Willams Boys were somehow lucky and noy lucky at the same time. They had thousands of fans especially among the large audience of teens but the problem is that they made a big move during their first appearances but they kind of withrew from the scene with little works. However, Andrew and David did a good work because the time was full of several young stars who were on every magazine cover especially in 1972 to 1976 which was a wild time og young celebreties who wanted to catch every fan's eyes not only on those magazines but also on the readio and on TV with series and films dediicated to young people.
