Moon River was an album of classic movie themes from Andy Williams which spent three years on the US album chart. Inexplicably the title track was never released as a single, although it has since become one of his best remembered songs. (US:3)

“Here is the classic Moon River and other academy award contenders as only Andy could sing them with big vocal choirs and creative arrangements. This was one of Andy's all-time best sellers and speaks for itself. Academy award contending songs, and Andy Williams' stylish vocals, explain why this recording went gold.”

“Andy Williams had a truly marvellous voice and great emotional power. I didn't know the Theme From Exodus had words to it. This one track makes the whole album but is certainly not the only reason to buy it. All the other selections are classics and with Mr. Williams' fantastic voice, this is a joy to listen to again and again.”

“Outstanding. Andy Williams performs like nobody else can. It forever reminds me of the 'good old days' and how life, movies and music went hand-in-hand. I treasure it dearly and guarantee it will be one of your most prized possessions. I've listened to it for 40 years and I'm still overwhelmed by these beautiful songs.”

“Andy Williams can take a song and make it all his own using his very special vocal skills. Andy leads his adoring audiences wherever he wants them to go because he passionately delivers each song he sings with true emotion and style.”

“These are the songs that will leave you saying 'they don't make singers like that any more' and other things to cause your kids to roll their eyes and shake their head at you...but it's true, they don't.”

“I really love this recording. It's got the most incredible versions of some amazing classics. I purchased it specifically for A Summer Place but every cut on it is truly wonderful. This comes close to being the perfect LP. All of these songs are ideally suited to his voice.”
