Singer Andy Williams Dead at 84

I have no idea who he was but rest in peace anyway.

I also have a few albums by Andy Williams, although he's not that much known over here.
The albums i have, do have also an EP connection, like songs they both sang.
I will remember him for his voice, smooth and silk, the crooner all the way.
Maybe he's best known here in Belgium for "Where do i begin" from Love story.

Played this album today to remembering.
He will be missed in the music industry, and every Christmas his voice will be singing eternaly.

Does anyone know if Andy ever met Elvis?

Rumor mill has it that Andy has attended one of Elvis's shows at the Hilton.

this is very sad news....i'm a bit surprised he is dead 1 year after diagnosis......i know other people who had 3 more years after this type of cancer............. a tremedously talented singer|!

it depends how late the diagnosis was made, and other health conditions he might have had, I guess. He has certainly seemed quite frail in recent years, I think - especially when compared to someone like Tony Bennett who is about two years old.

I thought about that too. That it really took him out. They have a lot of success these days, but part of it is luck with genes, and part of it is the general upkeep of health and handling stress. Tony Bennett just has his thing together! He's very outspoken, self-assured. (He was very angry when Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston died, and made statements against the U. S. "War On Drugs." The statements were incomplete, as they were on-stage, but the fact that he did it . . . showed guts and strength.)

If you lose that, if you get into a whole thing where "I'm old, I shouldn't be involved in . . . life" type of mindset - and that happens, then something will get you. We have the medical technologies now to expand life-expectancy and quality tremendously, but it varies by a lot of factors. (The biggest is access to health care, but that wouldn't be the case with Andy Williams.)

I read the obituaries in the paper. So people are living LONG, nowadays. So, yeah, it's sad. Especially if he suffered.

BBC4 in the UK is showing the complete Albert Hall concert from 1978 (the one that included Trilogy) this weekend as a tribute.

Andy Williams singing "Winter Wonderland" with his brothers. They definitely all look like brothers!
