Singer Andy Williams dead at 84

Andy Williams, who charmed audiences with his mellow delivery of songs like Moon River and Can’t Take My Eyes Off of You in the 1950s and 60s, died at his home in Branson, M.O., his family said Wednesday.

He was 84.

The blue-eyed Williams, who continued touring and drawing crowds to his Moon River Theater in the music hub of Branson into his 80s, died on Tuesday evening after a yearlong battle with bladder cancer, his family said in a statement.

Williams had 18 gold record and three platinum hits and in his peak years was a regular on television with his own variety series.

President Ronald Reagan called his voice “a national treasure.”
