Paul Williams was a lyricist for many of the songs attributed to him. Roger Nichols was the brilliant melody writer. Later on, Paul did write melodies like Evergreen and The Rainbow Connection. But Nichols seldom got the credit for Only Just Begin ,Rainy Days and Monday, Old Fashioned Love Song, etc,etc
I really respect Paul - not only for his amazing talent, but also for letting the film maker show the world his warts so we could also see the redemption. Really excellent.
This guy is one of the best citizens of this nation to ever breath oxygen! Great songwriter, talented performer and in my favourite movie of all time he stole the show as Little Enos. Great to see people who have overcome addictions tell their story and both these gentleman are an inspiration.
Paul Williams is indeed a living legend - so many beautiful songs on his own albums, and also in movies like PHANTOM OF THE PARADISE and BUGSY MALONE. Will always love Paul and his music.
He's so witty! I looked him up after hearing his work on Random Access Memories and was astonished I'd never heard of him before since he's done so much!!!
Paul wrote the beautiful melodic "Dream Away"- and the perfect line "when there's no room left inside us we dream away"-so dream away child let your dreams run wild or a life time of worry will claim you -so true!
Aw, geez! I must have missed this episode. Still missing Craig's show in a big, bigly way -- especially in these sad and worrisome days of Trump. Paul Williams is amazing, top o' the heap talent, and shines inspiration to this day. Thanks for the video!

Paul is an awesome lyricists - he is amazing and so glad he is sober and doing well
He is a genius!
Of all the 70's famous musicians, it is good to see he is living a healthy lifestyle. So many of our rock stars are dead.
So true!

Little Enos!
I'm watching it right now.It prompted me to look him up.👍
"because he's thirsty, dummy"
"My choo-choo," "Your choo-choo?"
What a cool dude.
What a classy, great little man.
10 years later he's still alive at 83.
did anybody else notice the horse in the beginning?
The best Penguin, Batman The animated series
@ 3:36 he’s referring to Britney Spears!
March 15th nice Paul
Wait a minute. They talked about singing, but didn’t sing? Or is that part not in this video?
What the hell was that horse thing at the beginning?
Little Enos Burdette. 👍
How did I not know he was ASCAP?
It's a shame Ferguson became so lazy and repetitive. The horse and robot got tired after about a month.
very good man
