THE
GIFT OF PAUL WILLIAMS
A man, a Prime, a Temptation, a legacy.
How could one man be so talented? The Lord and faith.
He had the faith in himself, the faith in his gift, and faith in the Lord
Himself.
He was blessed by the Lord with a voice that would reveal the depths of his
soul. You could feel the full emotion of every song he ever graced with his
sensual voice.
He was also blessed with a skill in dance.
He could create a dance that would look so sexy, yet so classy at the same time.
He knew how to accentuate every part of a song with a dance, whether it be a
spin, head turn, hand clap, finger snap, kick, or a small but subtle hand
movement. The song and dance routine would fit smoothly together like two puzzle
pieces.
His dream was to be the greatest singer he could become. Not only did he make
his dream come true, but he far surpassed his own dream, because he is one of
the greatest entertainers to have graced the eyes and ears of anyone willing to
watch and listen.
Even though his life was brought to a short and tragic end, he is still very
much alive. He is still alive in the hearts of his family, alive in the hearts
of his friends, and alive in the hearts of all his loving fans. Every time I
listen to one of his songs, I feel his presence there, singing and dancing so
free and happy. Paul Williams a man whose soul was full of song, dance, and
love, and whose career has tragically ended way before it's time. Paul Williams,
a legacy of song, dance, and inspiration will live for all eternity.

PAUL
WILLIAMS
July 2, 1939 - August 17, 1973
THEN
Showstopper, finger-popping, making our hearts bleed
Didn't take no prisoners whenever he took the lead
The greatest baritone that I have ever seen
Tearing up the stage and appearing on the screen
Made me feel the Great Apocalypse was coming
Watching him in action made me want to go running
On top of that, a dancer with near supernatural grace
No matter what he did he was right there in your face
NOW
I never thought I'd live to see the day he was not here
I have endured his absence now for too many a year
His sudden leaving is today an old, hard, media fact
And when he slipped away, a voice said, "Paul, no, Don't Look Back."
We stood behind in sadness with warm hearts that became frozen
And then a voice said in our ears, "He was My first one chosen."
