We've Only Just Begun: Roger Nichols/Paul Williams
Music by Roger Nichols and lyrics by Paul Williams: songs written by this duo, as recorded by numerous artists.
Advertising jingle writer Tony Asher (who also wrote most of the music for the Beach Boys' Pet Sounds album) had an assignment for a Crocker Bank TV commercial but was unable to write after being injured in a car accident. He introduced a new lyricist, Paul Williams, to Roger Nichols, and "We've Only Just Begun" resulted. The song later became the first hit for The Carpenters and the first of many Nichols-Williams collaborations.
