Wall Lake, [[Iowa]]. Starting out in a [[church]] [[choir]] and as a
 
teenager joining his three brothers to form a [[quartet]] that
 
performed first on [[radio]] in [[Des Moines]] on WHO, and then in
 
[[Chicago]] on WLS and [[Cincinnati]]’s WLW, Andy became a
 
regular on [[Steve Allen]]’s [[Tonight Show]] in 1955.

where in the summer of 1956 his vocal version of the smash hit
 
instrumental “Canadian Sunset” would earn him a top ten hit,
 
followed by Andy’s lone #1 single chart topper, “Butterfly”.

Kind of Love” and again in 1958 with “Are You Sincere”.
 
In 1959 “Lonely Street” and “The Village of St. Bernadette”

the #2 spot on the Hit Parade with “Can’t Get Used to Losing You”.
 
Among his fifty plus hit singles, were “Hopeless”, “Dear Heart” and
 
“A Fool Never Learns”, but it would be in 1971 before he had another
 
top ten hit single, “Where Do I Begin” from the film “Love Story”.
 
 
 
However, as an album artist, Andy Williams was a superstar with
 
as many as 17 gold albums, including:
 
* “Moon River”
 
* “Days of Wine and Roses”
 
* “Dear Heart”
 
* “The Shadow of Your Smile”
 
* “Love Story”
 
* “The Andy Williams Christmas Album”
 
 
 
The [[Christmas]] album is still a best seller several decades later. He would record eight Christmas albums, more than
 
any other recording artist at Columbia.
 
 
 
The Andy Williams Show on television won three [[Emmy Award]]s
 
and up until the 1990’s his Christmas specials were family
 
habits during the holidays.
 
In recent years to the delight of fans, Andy opened his
 
“Moon River Theatre” in Branson, [[Missouri]] where he has a home.
 
He alternates between a residence there and one
 
in La Quinta, [[California]].
