Andy
Williams parlayed his relaxed vocal delivery into massive pop success
and TV stardom during the '60s. After starting out singing with his
brothers over various midwestern radio stations as a youth, the Wall
Lake, IA, native went solo in 1952 and became a regular on Steve Allen's
Tonight Show through 1955. He signed with Archie Bleyer's Cadence
Records the next year and hit with "Canadian Sunset," topping the charts
with a cover of Charlie Gracie's rock-tinged "Butterfly" in 1957. "Are
You Sincere" (1958) and "Lonely Street" (1959) preceded a move to Columbia
in 1961 and the huge seller "Can't Get Used to Losing You" in 1963.
Williams has long been
one of America's top middle-of-the-road entertainers, hosting his own
TV variety series throughout the '60s, and he remains a highly
popular attraction.
