    He sat next to me on Court 2 at Wimbledon, about 25 years ago. RIP.

    So many songs, what a great voice... just too good to be true! Must admit I thought he had left us a while ago. RIP Andy

    Songs that have and will last the test of time - mostly because they were sung by him.

    RIP

    Saw him play in a charity cricket match at the Oval many year ago. He went out to bat in baseball kit with platform boots! At the time he was one of the best known stars in the world, so how they got him along to this event I have no idea.

    Great easy-listening voice.

    RIP

    Can remember seeing him with the Royal Philamonic at an Open-Air Concert in London over 40 years ago. His stunning performance of McArthur Park still lives in the memory after all this time. R.I.P.

    Always used to look forward to his TV show as a kid. I think he discovered the Osmonds. RIP Andy Williams. A true legend. Gone but not forgotten.

    Excellent vibe, had a good innings, RIP.

    Apparently he was quite a fan of Bolivian marching powder. But I couldn't verify this. Seems appropriate somehow.

    Always used to get him mixed up with Val Doonican.

    ......took the in-laws to see him at the Royal Albert Hall a couple of years ago. He still had a fantastic voice and range. There was one song where they ran a film behind him on a big screen showing all the stars he worked with over his career. Every single legend you can imagine seemed to be on there and it was incredibly moving to see in recognising how amazing his career had been. Thanks for the memories Andy. RIP
