I remember watching that Live!!!
>After appearing on The Muppet Show in 1976, Williams worked closely as a songwriter with Jim Henson on “The Muppet Movie” (including his Oscar nominated song **The Rainbow Connection**), as well as appearing in a cameo part as the piano player in the nightclub (who had a sign on the piano saying “Don’t shoot piano player”). He was also the lyricist for “Emmet Otter’s Jug-Band Christmas” and wrote the songs for “The Muppet Christmas Carol” in 1992.
I really need to rewatch FROG
He sounds like Harry Nilson during the quiet parts.
I just re-watched *The Phantom of the Paradise* this weekend, and it struck me (again) what a formative force Paul Williams has been for American pop music. Still is!

Back when you didn’t have to look like a model to play music
RIP Paul Williams
Pepe is saying now in my mind “mmmwheeen did I become, say ‘old’ mmkay? ‘Chand who is iss Juan Williams eh?”
Listen to Touch by Daft Punk. It’s another Paul Williams love song.
I have been watching the old muppet show with my little daughter on Disney and it is still so great. Admittedly, some of the little sketches haven’t aged as well as others, but the vibe and mix of great talent stands up.
Little Enos wishing to kick Bandit’s ass…
An underrated superstar songwriter of the 70s.
The Rainbow Connection? Written by Paul
He was so influential on music in the 70s and 80s and seems to be relatively unknown today. So glad that Daft Punk featured him on R.A.M. So a new generation could get to know him.

After shadowcasting *Phantom of the Paradise* and seeing Williams play the bad guy, I needed this in my life
I think about this version. All. Of. The. Time!!!
Is he Luis Anderson’s cousin or something?
can Toby Jones please play this Paul Williams in the movie about his life?
Fun fact: my understanding is Old Fashioned Love song started as a jingle for a bank commercial until someone said, yknow, there might be a song here. I think Paul Williams told that story on match game.
Such a talented man! He and Miles Goodman composed the music for *Muppet Christmas Carol.*
Wasn’t he Red Skulls assistant in Captain America?
He was great in Goliath with Billy Bob Thorton
Wow! Now I feel REALLY old! Lol! Thanks for the fuzzy memories!
He was in Smokey & the Bandit
Not only one of the coolest icons from the 70’s, his muppet looks like Mitch Hedberg!
