The Andy Williams Story

Andy Williams turned 80 this month, and he is still performing on an almost daily basis. To celebrate, Radio 2 presents this series featuring a new interview with Williams, recorded at his Moon River Theatre. Presented by Donny Osmond.

Series that reflects on the legendary crooner's career as he turns 80. The programmes are based around a new interview with Andy Williams, recorded at his Moon River Theatre

Where Do I Begin?

The Andy Williams Story 
3/4. Donny Osmond continues a profile of Andy Williams , who recently turned 80. Thanks to the singer's transatlantic number one, Butterfly (1957), his own weekly US TV variety show (from 1962) and the distinctive US/UK number two, Can't Get Used to Losing You, the camera-friendly crooner with an unusually smooth delivery became a kingpin of pasteurised family entertainment, no more reliably, as with his contemporary Johnny Mathis , than at Christmas. Other defining recordings include his takes on popular instrumentals, including Music to Watch Girls by (from a 1967 Diet Pepsi ad) and the film themes Moon River and (Where Do I Begin) Love Story. 
This edition includes input from 
Williams's ex-wife Claudine Longet.
