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.

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

One of the greatest weirdest movies of all time, with music to match.

Paul Williams is an absolute genius.
Might be time to introduce my son to this batshit crazy movie.

Love these songs.
I feel about POTP the way others feel about Rocky Horror.

"In 1975 alone, you had both 'Rocky Horror Picture Show' and The Who's 'Tommy' come out. But even before that, in 1974, Brian De Palma – who was a mere two years away from the game changer that was 'Carrie' – unleashed his rock opera epic into theaters, 'Phantom of the Paradise.'"

One of today’s one-day-only shirts at The Yetee is a Phantom of the Paradise design, and I gotta respect them for such a deep cut of pop culture weirdness. #PhantomOfTheParadise https://theyetee.com
