Talk:Ray Williams (producer)/Comments

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

To say Ray Williams was just 'doing his job' is like saying Brian Epstein was just 'doing his job when he found the Beatles or Colonel Tom Parker, was 'doing his job' when he found Elvis. The fact is Ray Williams saw something in Elton John and Bernie Taupin to get them together and write songs. Ray selflessly used his own flat and hired a piano to see them work together in the first instance and then used DJM facilities to ensure the songwriting team flourished. He was eventually let down by the industry when Elton John was getting more prominent. Ray should be considered with the same esteem as Epstein and Parker and your previous correspondent must have an 'axe to grind'.
