Editor's note

Paul Williams wrote ordinary feelings plainly

A songwriter who turned simple romance and daily life into familiar melodies.

For the unadorned Williams sound, try 'I'm Feeling Fine' or 'Doesn't Anybody Know.' They're good examples of how he handled everyday subjects.

Williams had a knack for writing about basic human experiences without overcomplicating them. Songs like 'I'm Feeling Fine' and 'An Old Fashioned Love Song' became part of the cultural background for a generation. He brought that same direct approach to film work, contributing 'Phantom's Theme' to Beauty and the Beast.

He started performing in clubs and released his debut album in 1968. Records like Repeat Performances and The World of Paul Williams followed in the early 1970s, with Love Is the Answer arriving in 1974. Alongside his own recordings, he wrote for musicals including Faust.
