Paul Williams & The Rainbow Connection

In 1979 I thought this was a pretty ok movie with a magical song. The song written by Paul Williams, who I got to meet years later when he signed my original Muppet Move album. His son and daughter attended the boarding  where I worked.

Rainbow connection was the song Joey sang when auditioning for the production of Oliver, at the New London Barn Playhouse. The audition landed him the role of Oliver at a Summer Stock Theater production.

It is a special song that has found a way to be relevant for a lot of years in my life. I suspect it continues to have meaning for many of my dear friends.,
