Andy Williams carried on the crooning cardigan tradition of Perry Como deep into the rock 'n' roll years. A good singer with seamless technique, Williams had a bright TV personality and a string of hit singles ("I Can't Get Used to Losing You," and "Moon River" are the two that still get plenty of spins on AM radio) throughout the late-1950s, '60s and '70s. In a surprise twist, Williams became every vengeful woman's fantasy when he stood by ex-wife Claudine Longet after she shot and killed skiing legend/paramour Spider Sabich in 1976. Since those heady days, Williams' recording career has slowly wound down, but he continues to be a big concert draw and has his own theatre in Branson, Missouri.
