Moon River: The Very Best of Andy Williams







Moon River: The Very Best of Andy Williams Overview


The golden voice of Andy Williams has been enchanting audiences for nearly seven decades.With a flood of publicity surrounding the fall 2009 publication of his revealing autobiography, a whole new buzz about Andy Williams will drive sales of the new career-spanning collection Moon River - The Very Best Of Andy Williams.

Andy's remarkably candid writing reveals the amazing story of his life and the roll call of showbiz legends who touched it, from Frank Sinatra and Judy Garland to Elvis Presley and John Lennon. The star who once signed the most lucrative recording contract in history was a fixture on American TV for decades, hosting The Andy Williams Show in the 1960s and 1970s, the Grammy® Awards in the 1970s and Christmas specials into the 1980s. From his close friendship with Senator Robert Kennedy through President Reagan's declaration that Williams' voice was "a national treasure," this singular artist looms large in American pop culture and is still going strong.Andy will be highly visible this fall promoting his memoir,Moon River And Me, which will be released the same day as this new career-spanning CD. Timed to coincide with the book release, this new compilation features 18 classic songs, including "Moon River,""Music To Watch Girls By" and the holiday classic "It's The Most Wonderful Time Of The Year."

The Andy Williams Christmas Show (Live from Branson) Specifications


Andy Williams, venerable singing star of countless TV holiday specials, performs onstage at his own theater in Branson, Missouri, before an adoring audience in 1993. Decked out in a succession of sweaters and scarves, Williams does 25 Christmas classics, dances with women wearing reindeer headdresses, sings along with a children's chorus, and welcomes special guests Lorrie Morgan and the Osmond Brothers (who show up wearing jackets featuring rhinestone poinsettias and candy canes). A number of youthful men and women appear throughout in various production numbers, usually dressed as Christmas carolers or partygoers (think more scarves and sweaters), while the band performs on a stage decorated with Christmas trees and lots of fake snow. This is a very professional production, and if it's schmaltzy and utterly middle-of-the-road, that's no doubt what Williams intended. --Robert J. McNamara
