<h3>You Know the Songs. Now Meet the Man Who Wrote Them.</h3>
Join us for a truly unforgettable afternoon as legendary songwriter, composer, singer, and actor Paul Williams takes the stage for COA's&nbsp;Storytellers Tea.
For generations, Paul Williams has given us songs that became part of the soundtrack of our lives - including the Carpenters' beloved “We've Only Just Begun” and “Rainy Days and Mondays,” Barbra Streisand's Academy Award-winning “Evergreen” from A Star Is Born, and the timeless “Rainbow Connection” from The Muppet Movie. His songs have been recorded by some of music's biggest names, including Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Ray Charles, Tony Bennett, The Carpenters and Barbra Streisand.
But Paul's story goes far beyond the songs.
He's an award-winning songwriter, celebrated actor, entertainer, author, storyteller and Hollywood personality whose career has spanned decades. From music and movies to television and the stage, Paul has experienced a remarkable life in the spotlight, and now he's coming to share some of those stories with you.
