    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
