Andy Williams was born in Wall Lake, Iowa. He was an American popular-music singer. He recorded forty-four albums in his career, seventeen of which have been Gold-certified and three of which have been Platinum-certified. He hosted The Andy Williams Show, a television variety show, from 1962 to 1971, and numerous television specials. Most recently, he performed at his Moon River Theatre, in Branson, Missouri; the theatre is named after the song he is most known for singing—Johnny Mercer's and Henry Mancini's "Moon River". Williams' solo career began in 1953. He recorded six songs for RCA Victor's label "X", but none of them were popular hits. During the 1960s, Williams became one of the most popular vocalists in the country and was signed to what was at that time the biggest recording contract in history. Williams hosted the most Grammy telecasts—seven consecutive shows—from the 13th Annual Grammy Awards in 1971 through to the 19th Awards in 1977. He returned to television to do a syndicated half-hour series in 1976–77.
