\"\"<\/a>Andy Williams, five-time Grammy Award nominee and one of America\u2019s most beloved singers, announced a star-studded addition to the talent line-up at The Andy Williams Moon River Theater for the 2009 season.
\nWilliams stated that Bill Medley, Rock n\u2019 Roll Hall of Fame Inductee and founding member of the Righteous Brothers, will appear in concert at the Moon River Theatre with zany rockers, Paul Revere and the Raiders. The shows are scheduled for selected dates form April through October, 2009. Williams also announced that rock n\u2019 roll pioneers, Bill Haley\u2019s Original Comets, will appear in matinee performances from April through August.<\/p>\n

At the press conference Williams said \u201cI have always been a fan of these guys and now I get to see them every day at my theatre. This is a great thing for Branson!\u201d<\/p>\n

Bill Medley, who along with long-time Righteous Brothers partner Bobby Hatfield, created \u201cYou\u2019ve Lost That Loving Feeling\u201d, a song which has been touted as the most played tune in radio history. Other chart toppers included (You\u2019re My) Soul and Inspiration\u201d, \u201cRock and Roll Heaven\u201d, \u201cEbb Tide\u201d and \u201cUnchained Melody\u201d. Teaming with Jennifer Warnes, Medley recorded the mega-hit \u201c(I\u2019ve Had) The Time of My Life\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Often cited as the comedy princes of rock n\u2019 roll, Paul Revere and the Raiders, are best known for their smash hits \u201cKicks\u201d, \u201cHungry\u201d, \u201cGood Thing\u201d, and their blockbuster \u201cIndian Reservation\u201d. Fans around the world have dubbed them as one of the favorite live onstage performance groups.<\/p>\n

Bill Haleys\u2019s Original Comets have been rocking the world since the early 1950\u2019s when they produced never-to-be-forgotten hits such as \u201cShake, Rattle and Roll\u201d, \u201cRock Around the Clock\u201d, and \u201cSee You Later Alligator\u201d. Fifty years later, these guys haven\u2019t lost a beat, and it is readily apparent why they are known as one of the early originators of Rock n\u2019 Roll.<\/p>\n

Medley shared \u201cWe love Branson so much that we\u2019ve bought homes here. The fans are great. And how could it get any better than appearing at Andy Williams\u2019 Moon River Theatre. It\u2019s going to be a fun 2009!\u201d<\/p>\n
