"Like others on the piano instrumental, Williams had success with stage and movie themes. His renditions of the title theme to Born Free kept his name on the pop and adult contemporary charts."

"Mr. Williams is one of the true stars of adult easy listening music with a career of hits spanning from 1955 to 1980. His magic behind the piano has earned him the title of best selling pianist in recording history."

"Roger Williams is the best pop pianist in history. Only he can make the piano sing like it does when his fingers touch the keys. He is hailed as number one in his genre by both Steinway and Billboard. Nobody else in the world can match this stunning combination of technique and feeling like Mr. Piano. Thousands of pianists can play the notes at this speed, but nobody can make the notes sing like he does - which is why he is so revered by critics and amateurs alike. His only true love in life has been the piano."

"A musical genius of this magnitude only comes along once in a lifetime."

"I have always found Roger Williams' music great. Love his style. Love the selections he records. This album is quality easy listening music at its best."

"Long-time master of the piano. Roger Williams' arrangements of popular tunes have placed him among the top artists in the music business for over 45 years."

"Sometimes we forget how much a really great song and arrangements can move you. Born Free was fab when it first came out and is still wonderful now."

"Born Free is a beautiful song on a grand scale. The music is simply inspiring. You can almost feel your heart soar just listening to this."
