Paul Williams Is Still Alive

Yes, he is still alive. He's been sober for over 20 years and still tours at age 76. The voice may have lost its depth and breadth but his personality shines through in a wonderful documentary:

Paul Williams Still Alive

You might recall:

An Old Fashioned Love Song covered by Three Dog Night


We've Only Just Begun covered by The Carpenters

Evergreen covered by Barbara Streisand 

Out In The Country by  Three Dog Night

Just in case you were wondering, the term a "Three Dog Night" comes from Australia. On cold nights the dogs are invited into the bedroom to provide warmth to their owners. On a particularly cold night three dogs would sleep in the bed.

In any event, if you want to feel the vibe from the 1970s watch the documentary. Paul Williams is an Academy Award winner, Grammy Award winner and is enshrined in the Song Writers Hall of Fame.
