So square. The sweaters. The turtlenecks. Hell, he introduced us to the Osmonds.
Andy Williams passed away yesterday at the age of 84. He had a magical voice and his popularity was broad. For a time, he was a star on the charts. He also had a popular TV show on NBC and, when that was canceled, it turned into an annual holiday show (oh, hell, Christmas show).
He was never super-duper-uber cool. In some ways that he was a parody, sure, but being square was sort-of his thing. It worked for him.
We'll likely always remember him for his rendition of "Moon River", the timeless classic that Audrey Hepburn crooned in Breakfast at Tiffany's.
Yet, in a nod to his possibly being a "hip cat" (ha ha ha), here's our guy Andy singing "Music to Watch Girls By" with a video that includes lots of clips from different movies in the 1960's. It's all good for a laugh.
