5.0 out of 5 stars Timeless Music From A Very Deep Spirit, November 2, 2004
By MF Regan "Seth" (Ontario, Canada) - See all my reviews

I came across this listing today and I'm going to track this collection down, fast. This is inspired work from a man who has a very deep spirit.

Paul Williams came up through the Brill Building songwriting for hire experience (and no offense to the artists who recorded his work), finally got his songs out on record, recorded the way he wrote and heard them (circa the early to late 1970's). The audience that hasn't heard them 'by him', needs to. Unfortunately, in most cases, others recorded his work in a schmaltz mode. These songs were never that. They're heartfelt, they're magic and they're an example of what a real melody, combined with an amazing lyric, arrangement and a great studio line up, can do.

This collection has the quintissential work (and will probably make you want to go out and scoop up any other cd of his collection that you can lay your hand on). I defy anyone to listen to a song like Loneliness, for example, and not come away from it realizing they were just told a lovely story in 3 to 4 minutes. A story in a song. That's songwriting at its finest.

Some have remarked on William's voice and the limited range of it. Remember when listening- it's the voice of the person who wrote it. The voice of the poet. As lovely and fine a voice as Karen Carpenter had- his Lonely Days and Mondays is the way the song needed to feel and to be recorded.

Also- go searching for his 'Phantom of the Paradise' for an amazing example of how diverse this man was. There's some real up tempo greats on this collection from the film- and William's finest (I think): ' The Phantom's Theme (The Beauty & The Beast) ' and the poignant 'Old Souls '.

Amazing work. I personally hope he's out there creating some more, although, he's created more than enough. 'That's Enough For Me '!

5.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST OF THE BEST. DONE BY THE BEST, February 6, 2001
By don page (lago vista, texas USA) - See all my reviews
Paul Williams has written love songs that seem to be the most personal and deep from the heart and soul. He truly is gifted. This collection of his songs includes all of his songs that have been so beautifully covered by The Carpenters and Three Dog night, as well as many, very many others. It also includes the only song Barbra Streisand wrote with Paul Williams,"Evergreen". I wish this collection had included, "With One More Look At You", other than that, this is a fabulous collection. This can really set the mood. If you are failing at your own feeble attempts with your lady, put this in. Paul Williams seems to say what we all feel and mean to say.
