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".
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.
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”

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.

"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.
I grew up admiring Paul Williams.
Thank you Paul!
The side 1, track 1, on the soundtrack of so many’s childhoods.
Beautiful Song love Paul Williams

Jesus why does this always make me want to cry.
Jack ..You must be a special person.
You are a treasure ❤

I did, I remember loving the commercial of it that they would show occasionally...
Thank you Paul Williams for Rainbow Connection. My favorite lyrics.

Paul Williams is amazing!!!
He's the head of ASCAP and it's 2022. He's still relevant.
One of my absolute favorite songwriters forever 💕 thank you Paul for your music
My dude, you only have 10 subscribers and joined three months ago 😂 nice try
Looking forward to meeting Paul a few hours from now.
So excited!

this is what giants really look like
There's just ordinary people. Keep them on the ground.
Giant in music.
The songs he wrote for Streisand and the Carpenters were beautiful mega hits... he is one of the greats

THANK YOU Mr. Paul Williams……for so many songs,thank you……..

the guy playing the piano was the co writer of rainbow connection
WOW that's awesome I'm loving it so much
Paul Williams came to Rick's College in Idaho when I was there in 1979-80. Such a special evening. His songs my heart.
Thank you! I needed to hear this!!
This man is a genius !
Have every song he ever recorded. Special talent and song writer.
"Waking Up Alone" is my all-time favorite Paul Williams song!!!!!
a great song !!
Beautiful song and great songwriter. thanks for this great post. Loved him on tv in the 70's.

Burt never wrote lyrics
Evergreen
so beautiful🎉
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
Can't get enough
A genius
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
wonderful text, I love it!!
Nice to see paul live.been listening to his album that THE WINNER Brent has on his channel.
Here Paul Williams is again on another one of three TH-cam follow-ups in which he sings Rainbow Connection.
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.
Who the hell could give a thumbs down to this?
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.

Little Enos......size 12 dwarf

Sounds like Jack Nickleson
Salut mes anges de neveux et nièces de la part de tata viviane
Jeez ,if you close your eyes you would swear blind that it was Willie Nelson singing !
seems like there might be a Paul Williams imposter replying to some folks in these comments?
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.
