Roger Williams was the leading pianist in the USA from the mid 1950s to the mid 1960s, enjoying acclaim and success with a string of hit albums, including Always. (US:25)

“What a big influence the man was. Roger Williams was dignified, and a superb technician and interpretive musician. He could improvise so well. And those arpeggios! Few of us achieve that kind of technique.”

“I adore the sincerity as he plays, just like he was part of the instrument he was playing. I believe many great artists noticed that.”

“The translation of his emotions, as he played, transcended anyone else's interpretation of a song, and that was his true gift to each of us.”

“Roger Williams was certainly the most popular pianist in America during the 20th Century with Billboard magazine still ranking him as the best-selling piano artist in history.” ,p> “Roger Williams at the peak of his prowess. If only we had a pianist playing tunes like this now.”

“Love this performer's music and have for many, many years. I could listen to him all day long and never get tired. Hope to get more of his work.”

“Truly Mr. Piano at his best. Listened to this in the car repeatedly. You can't get this music on the radio anymore.” “Roger Williams is the greatest pianist ever. I have collected his music for years and didn't want to miss any of his creations.”
