    Happy 80th Birthday to lengendary Temptation Paul Williams!

    Celebrating Paul Williams on what would have been his 80th birthday! I always said that The Tempts wouldn't have reached the iconic heights they did without Paul. What are your favorite leads by him. here are a few of mine

    Don't Look Back
    I Want A Love I Can See
    Your Wonderful Love
    Running Away [[though the lyrics are kind of creepy, it's one of Paul's finest numbers)
    No More Water in the Well
    For Once in My Life
    I've Gotta Be Me.

    To think that he left us at 34 years of age and today, he would have been 80 years old is a lot to take in. Happy Birthday to the Original Temptation, Mr. Paul Williams!

    Wouldn't it have been great to see him standing on that stage just once more?

    His live version of[don't look back-temptations live]is one of the greatest performances in the annals of live recordings!!

    I always like he and Eddie on his last recording, "I Feel Like Giving Up". I am going to try to find it.
