I just loved Moon River.
I grew up watching his shows. Mom had all his albums.
This is so sad. We loved Andy Williams. A true class act.
His style of singing is gone and the words that he sang are no longer written. What a pity. RIP Mr. Williams.
Rest in peace Mr. Williams.
Given the recent Neil Young/Neil Armstrong mixup, are we sure it wasn’t Andy Samberg who died?

RIP.
I couldn't agree more with Ronald Reagan's sentiment that Andy Williams' voice is a national treasure. I had hoped a while back to get to Branson in time to see him perform in person, but now it is not to be.
Oddly enough, I'm currently visiting Toronto and saw a really interesting sunset tonight. Maybe that "Canadian Sunset" was Andy saying goodbye.
Rest in peace, Mr. Williams.
I am so sorry that I didn’t see your beautiful reply until now.. Thank you, and I am so pleased that your sister enjoyed my experience with this fine man.. Take care my dear FRiend.. Carlo
