Here we have two songs named "More" as sung by two TV crooners. Work with me here, okay?
Perry Como
From 1956, a song that reached #4 in the US and #10 in the UK.
Andy Williams
The theme from the 1962 Italian film Mondo Cane, which sounds like a pretty terrible movie. Great song, though.

I’m going to vote for Perry Como. I found myself humming along with his tune.

I had to go to Youtube to see The Andy Williams version but I do give that one my vote. I know that song and have to admit, I love it.

I vote for Andy Williams. Simply sounds better to me. Perry’s version sounds a little dull. Andy Williams and Perry Como; boy, where has the time gone!

Both Perry and Andy have great voices but I think this song is better done by Andy. My vote goes to Andy.

I’ll have to admit that I liked the film Mondo Cane but I’m weird like that. And I like documentaries about strange things around the world.
Never heard the Como song and I’m not impressed. Definitely Andy Williams gets my vote for a song that I used to like a great deal when I was a kid and it still sounds good to me.

I definitely gotta vote more for Andy Williams’ ‘MORE’ and less for Perry Como’s ‘More’.
I have always liked A.W. and that particular song is kind of special to me. I will say, however, that my favorite version of that ‘MORE’ is done by Bobby Darin. I’d take Darin over Williams on this song, but I’ll take Williams over Como on probably just about any song.

Tough call. I was sure it would be Perry, until I listened to Andy. After a second listen I am going with Perry.
