BBC Radio 2 - Moon River and Me - A Tribute to Andy Williams, the man and his music

Jimmy Osmond pays tribute to Andy Williams, the man and his music.

At 3 years old Jimmy Osmond walked onto a TV show and took the hand of the man who was to change his life but little did he know that 50 years later he would pay tribute that man and his music in an 80 date tour, "Moon River and Me".  The tribute is named after Andy Williams' biggest hit which he performed at the 1962 Academy Awards and went on to become this theme for "The Andy Williams Show".  And the legacy continues as Jimmy Osmond was left Andy's precious archives and continuing the connection, in 2014 Jimmy purchased his theatre in Branson Missouri.  From that actual theatre and for the next two hours Jimmy honours the velvety-voiced Mr Williams through his personal memories and anecdotes, those exclusive archives and hits like "Happy Heart", "Music To Watch Girls By", "Moon River" of course and the perfect New Year's Day anthem "May Each Day".

Amazing music. Played by an amazing line up.
