  Danny Williams | Obituaries | News | Telegraph
Danny Williams, who died on December 6 aged 63, recorded what many regard as the definitive version of Moon River, the ballad which became a Christmas hit and spent 19 weeks at No 1 in the British charts in 1961.
Though Danny Williams had several other ballads in the lower reaches of the charts, he never repeated the success of Moon River and spent most of the remainder of his career on the night club and cabaret circuit, where he retained a faithful following.
Danny Williams was born in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, on January 7 1942 and began his singing career with a troupe called the Golden City Dixies.

The legendary musician was hoping to take his wife Heather, a contingent of international media and animal rights activists to a barren stretch of ice in the Gulf of St. Lawrence today to catch a glimpse of newborn seal pups, but the ice pans are much thinner than usual this year.
