(29) Andy Williams' show Moon River Japanese version |
|
|
Andy Williams' Show was on TV on Sundays around 1965 in Japan. I remember that Osmond Brothers were so cute. He every time sang "Moon River". It reminds me Sunday afternoon. Some years later, when I was drinking in a bar, the record of it was played. When I said to someone around, "Frank's work is the best" "Oh, Frank Nagai sings 'Moon River'?" he answered That is the Japanese male singer, so I was surprised that "Moon River" didn't remind him or younger people Sinatra. |

Johnny Mercer |
Henry Mancini (1924-1994) |
Johnny Mercer and Henry Mancini made a great hit with "Moon River". One of my favorite musicians Johnny Mercer was born in Savanna, Georgia, in 1909. The house he was born was on Burnside Island faced "Back River". People started to call it "Moon River" after this song was released. |
