Personally, I find Mr. Williams very interesting, maybe you will too.

Behind an anti-ad blocker.
I remember Phantom of the Paradise, and he played an orangutan in Battle For The Planet of the Apes.
Recently, saw him in Goliath, with Billy Bob. Barely recognized him.

Wow, Blast from the past, he wrote a lot of big songs.

HIGHLY recommend Phantom of the Paradise if you haven't seen it.

Yes that really blew my mind!
Growing up I loved all the great songs Paul Williams (co-)wrote for The Muppets!

I saw it in a theater, so you can imagine. I did not like Paul Williams until I saw that movie. He was EVERYWHERE back in the day. (DePalma always did that. Take actors I didn't like and make them act.)

Phantom of the Paradise is awesome - the real surprise for me was how wonderful Jessica Harper's singing voice is

What surprised me was how good the music was ALL these years later. Written by - who else?
