With his perma-tanned meet and tinted spectacles, Andy Williams looked nothing like a multiple Grammy winner, a survivor of Sixties party madness or a political insider.
The deadly charisma of Frank Sinatra or Sammy Davis Jr was absent. He looked more like a celebrity golfer in a cosy pullover - a role he loved to play.

The life, death, songs and films of easy listening superstar Andy Williams.
To many people, he'll forever be Mr Lunar River, but Andy Williams was so much more than that.
In a career spanning nearly three-quarters of a century, Williams saw in the trad pop age, dabbled in rock and roll, and became maybe the ultimate crooner.
Depending on who's counting, Williams sold anything from 45 to million albums.
He picked up Grammy nods and Emmy Awards. It was his performance of 'Moon River' – originally performed by Audrey Hepburn for Breakfast at Tiffany's – that celebrated the track at the Academy Awards, where it won Best Imaginative Song.
To mark a decade since his passing, we're inducting Andy Wiliams into a virtual Hall of Fame and celebrating the life and work of one of the all-timers.
