This is it! Definitive Paul Williams! (I haven't heard the remastered album, but...) Do yourself a favor and buy this album; then enjoy!

Paul Williams has always been a favorite of mine. I have this on LP, but I could not find it on CD. Thank you so much Amazon for having this listed. I have had this CD for about a month now and it is still in my cd player in my car.

Singing voice of Paul overflows in gentleness.
"We've Only Just Begun", "Let Me The One" are in particular splendid music.

You'd be surprised to learn how many of your favorite love songs were written by him - and although his voice is different, I enjoy it!

This album was Paul's first album for A & M and dates back to 1971. It was released on CD in Japan in the late 90's, but can now be hard to find. Which makes the news that it is to be released on 20th February by East Central One in the UK most welcome. Amazon.co.uk will be selling the album

After releasing an album, Someday Man, in 1969 on Reprise, this was the album which brought Paul to the notice of the listening public as well as fellow musicians, who began queuing up to record Paul's songs. This album of songs of love lost & found, highlighted both Paul's skills of his songsmith as well as a singer.

The album includes well known classics like An Old Fashioned Love Song, rejected by The Carpenters but brought to the attention of the listening world by 'Three Dog Night' and We've Only Just Begun recorded memorably by 'The Carpenters'. This song, which started as a bank commercial, has forever been immortalised by Karen Carpenters voice and is now a favourite at weddings all over the world.

Although some may find Paul's voice an acquired taste, I feel that he is able to convey the feelings behind his songs with wonderful dramatic effect. This is a collection of 11 wonderful songs, produced superbly by Michael James Jackson.
