In light of the passing of Andy Williams here is a photo of Andy in 1968 at the reopening of Ford's Theatre. He is second from left.

Nice Roger. He will be missed

I can remember my parents and grandparents watching the Andy Williams holiday specials when I was a kid. A great singer.

Mention Moon River and I still get a flutter.

I grew up listening to my parents playing his albums on our "Hi-Fi".... I've still got the albums and still got the long old mahogany "Hi-Fi" stereo.

I agree with you, Laurie - "Moon River" is also my favorite -- as a matter of fact, I have it on my iPod! Remember those Christmas shows, too!

RIP, Andy....

I wonder if Andy Williams had Civil War ancestors? Also, since we are interested in assassination trivia concerning Lincoln-Williams was present during the murder of another political figure-RFK. Williams was friends with him-and present at the hotel where RFK was shot.

He also sang "Battle Hymn of the Republic" at Kennedy's funeral.

Yes! Forgot about that.

Hearing his Christmas standards being played now everywhere due to the holiday season, it's hard to believe Andy Williams passed away over a year ago now. We've lost some really good people in the last year or so..."time- what an empty vapor..."
