Hats off to the voice of American crooner Andy Williams
When he was U.S. President, Ronald Reagan declared the voice of the ballad singer, Andy Williams, to be a 'National Treasure'.
Last night the singer sang 'Moon River' on the Jules Holland T.V. Show.
Like Chuck Berry, he is now 82 years old but, unlike Chuck , he would not be filling theatres on a British tour. Sadly, his voice was weak and entirely in keeping with his age.
The link below reminds us of his beautiful voice when he was in his prime, at the age of 34, in 1961.
