Andy Williams RIP

[liquidspace]

Just heard that Andy Williams has died. What a great singer. I've heard he was related to the Osmonds and is their uncle, does anyone know if that is true?

No, its not true- though did appear on his show quite alot.

[dickythecook]

He was responsible for the Osmonds fame

I honestly thought that Andy had died a rew weeks ago. There was a programme on BBC3 showing him singing duets with loads of people. I liked him

There were some versions that said "off of you" (e.g. Boystown Gang) but, as Mark says, the Andy Williams versions just says "off".

Oh well, if we're into cover versions, then all bets are off... :-)

Oh come on! Lyricsmode? Seriously...?

[weecalf]

all right then lyricsfreak says off of

[andy-hughes]

The finest excample of the song is by Paul Anka - not sure how he phrases though, not heard it for a while.

[MarkRae]

He doesn't sing "off of" any more than Andy Williams does...

And as soon as Andy arrived at the pearly gates, St Peter said to him,
"Come on Andy you're Almost There" ?
