Singer Andy Williams has died at the age of 84.
He had a number of hits in the US — like his signature rendition of “Moon River”.
But it was his TV show that made Williams a star in Britain in the 1970s.
And Williams gained younger fans in the UK when in 1999, his version of the song “Music to Watch Girls By” was used in a commercial for Fiat cars.
Anchor Marco Werman speaks with Darren Henderson, a former music executive who worked with Andy Williams.
