''Moon River: The Very Best of Andy Williams'' is a compilation album by American pop singer Andy Williams that was released on October 13, 2009.〔 A note from Williams inside the CD booklet explains that the album "was put together to coincide with my memoir ''Moon River and Me'', published by Viking/Penguin. It includes many of the songs that you made hits. I truly appreciate that, and I hope you enjoy the songs we selected for this CD."〔(2009) ''Moon River: The Very Best of Andy Williams'' by Andy Williams (booklet ). New York: Sony Music Entertainment 88697 59112 2〕 The collection covers a wide assortment of his material, including crossover hits ("Can't Get Used to Losing You" and "(Where Do I Begin) Love Story"), stabs at the youth market ("Butterfly" and "Music to Watch Girls By"), a pair of Mancini-Mercer Oscar winners ("Days of Wine and Roses"〔.〕 and "Moon River"〔.〕), a Christmas classic ("It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year"), and a eulogy to the late Robert F. Kennedy ("Battle Hymn of the Republic".〔.〕). A 24-track compilation album released in conjunction with the book publication in the UK was entitled ''The Very Best of Andy Williams'' and had the same cover photo and design but had only nine of the 18 tracks on this album in common.〔(2009) ''The Very Best of Andy Williams'' by Andy Williams ().
