DANNY WILLIAMS ALTHOUGH BORN IN SOUTH AFRICA,GREW UP AND STARTED HIS SINGING CAREER IN ENGLAND.
THIS SMOOTH AND STYLISH SINGER WAS NICKNAMED 'BRITAIN'S JOHNNY MATHIS'
HIS 'U K NO 1'VERSION OF 'MOON RIVER' IS REGARDED BY MANY INCLUDING MYSELF AS 'THE DEFINITIVE VERSION'
IT HAS SUPPOSEDLY BEEN REPORTED THAT THE SINGER NAT KING COLE DECLINED TO RECORD THIS SONG AS HE REGARDED DANNY'S VERSION WAS 'UNSURPASSABLE'
SADLY,THIS WONDERFUL SINGER DIED ON THE 6TH DECEMBER 2005 FROM CANCER.
THANK U KINDLY

Great voice, nobody like this around today. Glad to have lived through this period.
To be honest, what does Simon Cowell know; why should we respect his opinion. I don't.

Danny was "one of the good guys" I remember shedding a tear back stage when I heard of his passing.Great man,good friend.Sleep well fella!

First heard Danny in 1961. Singers like this just don't appear on the scene anymore...regardless of what Simon Cowell would say With all the technology and studio gimmickry nobody would sound like this. Crystalline clear and polished. Music from a timeless, talent filled era.

I totally agree with your sentiments. Although i like Andy Williams version of 'Moon River' also but i've always regarded Danny's Version as the Definitive One.
