The recent death of Andy Williams robbed the musical world of one of its most distinctive voices, best exemplified on such hits as Moon River and Music To Watch Girls By. He began his career with Cadence, racking up an impressive number of major hits, most notably with the UK chart topper Butterfly, and after he had flown to Columbia Records, Cadence spent much of the ensuing years repackaging his hits and misses into a number of albums. Andy Williams Best lives up to its title, containing ten hits recorded at Cadence together with two B sides, and at a time when greatest hits compilations made little impact on the American charts, it made #59.
