ANDY WILLIAMS THE FIRST MAN TO SING MOON RIVER DEAD AT 84

By Sally Bailey
Thu, 27 Sep 2012 12:12:19 +1000

Andy Williams, the first man to sing Henry Mancinis "Moon River" was second only to Audrey Hepburn who performed the song first in the movie " Breakfast At Tiffanys".

Williams died at his home in Missouri after a lengthy battle with cancer. Known for his easy listening crooning style and wholesome all American appeal, Williams was once quoted as saying " The old cliche says that if you can remember the 1960s, you weren't there, well, I was there all right, but my memory of them is blurred — not by any drugs I took but by the relentless pace of the schedule I set myself." 

Williams is survived by his wife, Debbie, and his three children, Robert, Noelle and Christian.
