  1. VARIOUS ARTISTS
    Phantom Of The Paradise - Original Soundtrack Recording
    1974 Canada pressing

    Last spin of the night.

    A great soundtrack to a very weird movie.
    As a songwriter myself, I adore Paul Williams.
    As a kid, it started with “Rainbow Connection”, but as I got into my teens, I discovered this batshit fucking movie that not only STARS Paul, but was scored by him as well. The film sent me into a deep dive of Paul’s songwriting, and exposed me to just how brilliant he is.

    It’s a very odd movie, and so are the songs, and not everybody is a fan. I can’t explain why it made such an impression on me as a teenager, or why it’s stayed with me all these years, but it’s essentially MY Rocky Horror Picture Show.

    But I fully understand why people hate it. 😂

    I’m just not one of those people.

  2. "An Old Fashioned Love Song" is a 1971 song written by #PaulWilliams and performed by the American #rock band #ThreeDogNight. #ChuckNegron performed the lead vocal on this track. Taken as the first single from their fifth studio album, #Harmony (1971), the song peaked at number 4 on the #Billboard Hot 100 chart in December 1971, becoming the band's seventh top-ten hit. It was Three Dog Night's first record to top the U.S. #easyListeningChart.

  3. "Rainy Days and Mondays" is a song by the #Carpenters from their self-titled third album, with instrumental backing by the #WreckingCrew. It was written by #PaulWilliams (lyrics) and #RogerNichols (music), who had previously written "#WeveOnlyJustBegun", another hit for the duo. The B-side on the #single is "Saturday", a song written and sung by #RichardCarpenter. A demonstration for the song was initially sent to Richard Carpenter by Williams and Nichols.

  6. Currently watching this awesome film and searching #PaulWilliams facts. AND...

    TIL he wrote all the songs for #MuppetChristmasCarol
    TIL he wrote the songs for the 1976 #AStarIsBorn

    I wish that I had one millionth his talent. Fucking hell.

  7. Brian DePalma’s cult classic, Phantom of the Paradise (with music by Paul Williams) was released 50 years ago. "Faust" is the title song from the protagonist's (later The Phantom) cantata – sacrificed to fiendish producer Swan in a devil's bargain🔥
