I'm a huge fan of Paul Williams..(he doesn't nearly get the recognition he deserves now days)..but it's great to see a fellow musician such as Mraz doing a rendition like this..Williams lyrics are pure poetry on every level..I miss this type of sound..mood..definitely good stuff!
I have been obsessed with this song since I was like 5 years old. Thank you Jim Henson for opening my eyes and ears to such beauty, and for encouraging us all too dream big and reach for the other side of the rainbow. Your legacy will live on forever.
BTW Paul Williams is the man, and Mr. A-Z knows just how to reach my heart
@1010lvrv You can just download this from youtube by using IDM. If you don't have IDM, you can add "kiss" before the link youtube. kissyoutube will help you download.
I love this song by Paul Williams. It is just beautiful. I have always loved hearing him sing and have his albums from the 70's. I did see him perform live once. Paul Williams and Jason Mraz have very unique voices.
to: tinyindigostar/ it is such an Honor to have decades of talent come together to make this most beautiful timeless recording. my favorite of all time. simple. honest. two different unique voices making it just endless beauty.
wow. Good for Jason Mraz. He's expressed several times how this song touched him and has so much meaning for him on a higher level... and now to be singing it with the guy who wrote the song. What an honor. Amazing!
Kenny Loggins' version is really, really good too...if you haven't heard it, DO.
I took the album to an audiophile meeting of ' we only like jazz' types...reluctantly I put it on...two minutes into the song, there were 6 men, of all strips, with these crocodile tears in their eyes...they were overwhelmed before they knew what hit them.
Freaking giving me goosebumps,,,at least todays generation have someone like jason,, to make music for them,, not trash.. Great job in posting this version. timeless,, imagine,, suddenly hearing paul williams again with his same voice from way back then. save me a dream. this is a dream.
Oh! la la! Jason, the miracle of music this decade, i am a fan.Paul, the author of this beautiful song that i love.These two beautiful voices together are a rare élégance.Thank you infinitely for us share this unique moment.A quick hello from France.Sorry for my english.
Hello guys! As you know, tomorrow is a special day (June 23): our dear Jason Mraz celebrates his 33rd anniversary. I'd like that you to do a short video congratulating Jason or take a picture where you congratulates him. Than, I will do a little edition where I'll put our videos together and send to Jason's twitter, so he can see it.
Send to: anacostactx-youtubeuser-jasonmraz@hotmail.com (with your first and last name!)
Amazing, always loved this song. Never thought it could get better, but, Paul and Jason just proved me wrong. It never fails to bring emotions to the surface, happy or sad. Thank you Paul and Jason.
ursulee261 I am fortunate enough to be personal friends with him and his wife..He is doing quite well and will be bringing the show Happy Days to Broadway...it is in England now.
@Hoobahoo put "The Rainbow Connection - Piano - Stereo" on the youtube search and click on the first one! i can't find the sheet music to this in google, that's difficult lol just the muppets version as you say! i hope it can help you, kisses
Man, I hate to say it but I thought Williams died years ago...I just googled him this morning and was pleasantly surprised to find he's doing well and still in music....this is a great version of this song.
@crave165 actually, the original version is of the muppets and it was recorded in 1979, but this is a cover but unfortunately i don't know when it was recorded! kiss
This version is great :)

This is the difinitive recording of The Rainbow Connection.
PAUL WILLIAMS wrote it and it's always great to hear the composer perform his tune.
MRAZ without one single doubt 'feels' this lyric like no other human. I mean, listen to Jason: he's inside the song!
