The pianist Roger Williams is often overlooked today, but during the years 1956-66 he was never out of the US album chart. One of his more commercially successful albums was Maria. (US:9)
“Strangely enough, this music can sometimes be pleasantly soothing. The calmest and slowest music you can imagine. Hard to judge the right moment to listen to this record.”
“Owner of a refined taste and free of the pyrotechnical exhibitionisms of Liberace for instance, he truly elevated the level of this genre to unsuspected heights.”
“Williams made his mark on the charts as an easy listening pianist with a string of instrumental hits that spanned the rock 'n' roll years of the late 50s and early 60s.”
