The man is a living legend. His songwriting and score credits alone! There's a 2011 documentary about him here. youtu.be/k3TzctHOitU
Paul Williams was such a huge part of the music I heard in my youth. He had a rough go for many years. Was just reading about his life a few weeks ago. Still with us!
Beautiful melody. I really like the version performed by Lotte Kestner.
