RIP

I believe he was the son of Marni Nixon the real voice of Eliza Doolittle in the film My Fair Lady .

My fav of his was 'Thank you for being a friend'

didn't he also do " never let her slip away "? 

i'm not sure he was prolific in the song writing dept. though i'm happy to be corrected on that?

that's real sad news!%-{

Shame. 'All This and Heaven Too' was a guilty pleasure in the 70s. I'm too cool to own it now. Think I'll get it next time I see one in Barnados. Loved 'Never Let Her Slip Away' and 'Thank You For Being a Friend'. Must be getting old old old - soon be my turn

RIP Andrew and yes his mum was the voice of a few 'laterday' stars including Audrey Hepburn I believe.

Never let her slip away, no idea why, but I love that track. RIP

Was very involved with Art Garfunkels music and Linda Ronstadt, Never Let Her Slip Away is one of my all time favourites, and Lonely Boy was just superb, RIP
