Andy Williams, RIP
Andy Williams, whose signature tune was "Moon River", passed away at his home in Branson, Missouri Tuesday night, his representative confirmed in a statement released Wednesday morning.
Williams? last posting on Twitter was September 22 at just after 11:00 pm, a single word: "Sigh".
Williams was a performer from childhood, singing with his brothers from the age of 8 as part of the radio act the Williams Brothers Quartet. In 1951, the act disbanded and Williams moved to New York, where the handsome 24-year-old became a regular performer on Steve Allen?s ?The Tonight Show.?
Easy-going and photogenic, Williams also was a television regular in his heyday, appearing on the top variety shows and hosting several of his own, including the Emmy-winning ?The Andy Williams Show,? which debuted on NBC in 1962 and aired for nine years. His Christmas specials were holiday family-viewing staples.
