1) Paul Hamilton Williams Jr. (born September 19, 1940) is an American composer, singer, songwriter and actor. He is known for writing popular songs performed by a number of acts in the 1970s, including Three Dog Night's "An Old Fashioned Love Song" and "Out in the Country," Helen Reddy's "You and Me Against the World," David Bowie's "Fill Your Heart" and the Carpenters' "We've Only Just Begun" and "Rainy Days and Mondays."
Williams is also known for his musical contributions to films, including the Academy Award-nominated song "Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie, and penning the lyrics to the #1 chart-topping song "Evergreen," the love theme from the Barbra Streisand vehicle A Star Is Born, for which he won a Grammy for Song of the Year and an Academy Award for Best Original Song. He wrote the lyrics to the opening theme for the television show The Love Boat, with music previously composed by Charles Fox, which was originally sung by Jack Jones and, later, by Dionne Warwick.
Williams had a variety of high-profile acting roles, such as "Little Enos Burdette" in the action-comedy Smokey and the Bandit (1977) and the villainous Swan in Brian De Palma's Phantom of the Paradise (1974), which Williams also co-scored, receiving an Oscar nomination in the process.
Williams was born in Omaha, Nebraska, the son of Paul Hamilton Williams, an architectural engineer, and his wife, Bertha Mae (née Burnside), a homemaker.
His father died in a car accident in 1953, when Williams was 13 years old, after which Williams grew up living with his aunt. As a result, Williams moved to Long Beach, California with his family and attended Woodrow Wilson Classical High School.
One of his brothers was John J. Williams, a NASA rocket scientist, who participated in the Mercury and Apollo programs and was awarded the NASA Distinguished Service Medal, their highest honor, in 1969. His other brother was Mentor Williams, a songwriter as well who penned Dobie Gray's 1973 hit "Drift Away".

Beautifully sung. I love this song.
Dara Roberts
This is a pretty good cover by Paul Williams. I will be hearing the writer and original singer of this song, Graham Nash, sing this live in March! This will be my third time seeing him in concert. It is very moving when he sings this live. For those who don't know, Graham was in love with Joni Mitchell for a few years, and he wrote this the day they broke up. Later that night in LA, when CSNY did a concert, he sang this live for the first time. What he didn't know was that Joni was sitting in the audience watching and listening to him. He says in his own words, "I think CSNY were playing the Fillmore East in the Village and I decided to sing it even though I’d just written it. I look up and there’s Joni sitting in the third row. I got through it and managed to sing the song, but it was weird because we’d just broken up and that’s always a weird time." And after that, sadly, their romance was over. Graham and I are very blessed to have met each other and the two of us are now friends to this day!

Paul's voice, emotional investment, always pulls me in. That's Enough For Me, an amazing melody and lyrics set. I enjoy William's cover about as much as Nash. Never thought I'd say that.
