We lost our beloved dog "Snooki" yesterday and this song came to my mind! Paul, you wrote so many wonderful songs and I want you to know that your music through good times and bad sustains me!
Paul Williams, I have the most wonderful memories dating back to the early 1980's when my son was a toddler. Thank you for a lifetime of beautiful music and a beautiful life that you were an important part of!!!
I want to cry whenever I hear Paul sing this song. I think maybe because of a childhood lost? If you watch the version he did for Yo Gabba gabba, it seems right out of the 1970's and an old verity show from that era. Paul was such a big part of the 70's, and there is something so soothing about his voice.
YOU ARE THE UNIVERSE OF MUSIC. this will never end, it is magic!!!!!!!!!! I've seen you live and it will always be better than anything else. Ever your fan, Susan Tomlinson
Loved his "Flying Dreams" and when I finally learned the lyrics to this one, I loved it as well! The song has always charmed me since hearing Kermit's banjo when I was really little!
@Paul Williams Holy cow! Thanks, Paul! This is the first celebrity connection that I've ever had and I'm flattered!! Here's my email: mnd_frrst@yahoo.com -- for texting. I know a friend who's also a big fan of yours and she's going to be jealous! Best,
I have the same reaction as Paul here whenever people ask me "what's the story behind that song that makes you cry like a little boy?" and I say "It was my mom's favorite song... and it was performed by Kermit the Frog".
The dude is a triple threat 1. He wrote “Rainbow Connection” 2. He was in my favorite movie, “Phantom of the Paradise” (and even wrote the songs for that movie) 3. He was the Penguin in “Batman: The Animated Series”
And when i heard the angel´s voice of Karen Carpenter singing " I wont last a day without you " I have said to my self: "who could have created the lyric of that song, Burt Bacharach? But not ! It was this guy who wrote it! So this guy does not "sucks" as Mr. Tate wadsworth (the commentator below) said. This guy is for sure more worth than you.
If you love the lyrics of these songs, you should check out other Paul Williams numbers ...."We've Only Just Begun," "What Will They Say," or "You and Me Against the World" ........... all have a yearning hopeful theme in their lyrics ... very appealing to the sad pining romantic in all of us.

I saw the great Paul Williams sing this song live several years ago. People were crying and everyone loved it so much. It is beautiful.
He really is a legend. One of the greatest song writer of our time.
What a great song writer!
Thank you Paul, for giving us so many great songs.

Beautiful Song love Paul Williams
"My favorite song...I dedicate everything I do to Kermit D. Frog"
--Paul Williams
Beyond charming!
I"m very old and it's STILL my favorite song !!!
Mr. Williams, this song goes deeper than any of us can know. It could only have come through somebody super like you.
The side 1, track 1, on the soundtrack of so many’s childhoods.
I grew up admiring Paul Williams.
Thank you Paul!
Paul Williams, I have the most wonderful memories dating back to the early 1980's when my son was a toddler. Thank you for a lifetime of beautiful music and a beautiful life that you were an important part of!!!

Thank you Paul Williams for Rainbow Connection. My favorite lyrics.

I did, I remember loving the commercial of it that they would show occasionally...

Looking forward to meeting Paul a few hours from now.
So excited!
..this is sooo beautiful, but why i am cryng?❤❤❤
❤
He's the head of ASCAP and it's 2022. He's still relevant.
The songs he wrote for Streisand and the Carpenters were beautiful mega hits... he is one of the greats
WWWWWOOOOOWWW me encanta Paul Williams.....y adoro totalmente esa cancion muchas gracias por subirla.....♥♥♥
THANK YOU Mr. Paul Williams……for so many songs,thank you……..
I have the same reaction as Paul here whenever people ask me "what's the story behind that song that makes you cry like a little boy?" and I say "It was my mom's favorite song... and it was performed by Kermit the Frog".
His voice is so calming...love it
@Paul Williams wow thanks for this message. I hope you are well
Beautiful song and great songwriter. thanks for this great post. Loved him on tv in the 70's.
this is what giants really look like
There's just ordinary people. Keep them on the ground.
Giant in music.
Paul Williams came to Rick's College in Idaho when I was there in 1979-80. Such a special evening. His songs my heart.
the guy playing the piano was the co writer of rainbow connection
WOW that's awesome I'm loving it so much
Have every song he ever recorded. Special talent and song writer.
"Waking Up Alone" is my all-time favorite Paul Williams song!!!!!
Thank you! I needed to hear this!!
This man is a genius !
a great song !!
The dude is a triple threat
1. He wrote “Rainbow Connection”
2. He was in my favorite movie, “Phantom of the Paradise” (and even wrote the songs for that movie)
3. He was the Penguin in “Batman: The Animated Series”
Wait, he was the Penguin?!
@@arkbien9303 Yep
@@CountofBeretania That's cool!
Don't forget Little Enos Burdette in Smokey and the Bandit
Nice to see paul live.been listening to his album that THE WINNER Brent has on his channel.
And when i heard the angel´s voice of Karen Carpenter singing " I wont last a day without you " I have said to my self: "who could have created the lyric of that song, Burt Bacharach? But not !

Burt never wrote lyrics
Evergreen
wonderful text, I love it!!
so beautiful🎉
makes you believe anything is possible, and could happen if you just see the rainbow!
i love the way the background singers seemed to stand back and let this magnificent solo proceed
Dunno about him not being an actor. The last 20 seconds of his appearance on "Babylon 5" was one of the most eloquent moments in TV history.
Can't get enough
Here Paul Williams is again on another one of three UA-cam follow-ups in which he sings Rainbow Connection.
A genius
Who the hell could give a thumbs down to this?
I wish those rude people in the background would shut up and listen to this amazing man
Paul will always be Oswald chesterfield Coblepots aka the penguin in batman the animated series and the new batman adventures x3
+Peppermint presents actually he will always be Little Enos Burdett........for those of us a little older ;-)
I sing this at karaoke. Always chokes me up.
💕💕💕
hall of famer...
Yea Paul!!!
the lovers, the dreamers, and me…...
Indeed. XXXOOO INFINITY

well, well, well, well, well
seems like there might be a Paul Williams imposter replying to some folks in these comments?
Sounds like Jack Nickleson
Salut mes anges de neveux et nièces de la part de tata viviane
Keep writing, brilliant, but keep your day job, brutal singer 🤣🤣🤣😍
Kermit did it better
Difference betwee a comment maker and an artist-artists dont make art a competition. Why artists have a clear opinion of reviewers.
