I won a game of Trivial Pursuit one time because of him. Well, actually because of The Simpsons. The questions was "Who sang Moon River?"

I had no idea but I remembered the episode Bart, Nelson and Milhouse go to Chattanooga for the World's Fair.

Williams seemed a decent enough fellow, but I must deduct points from his legacy for giving the Osmonds their first big break and foisting them upon America.
