Its my birth name. I had no choice in that one....lol lol lol

Yes, all the time. Mostly on the out skirts of Cleveland like, Huron Oh., Hudson Oh, Avon Oh, Twinsburgh Oh.
I've had a lot of special moments. I was the Musical Director of Dennis Edwards of the Temptations from 84-91. I also hooked up with Men at Large from 95-97.
And one of my favorite groups, The Commodores from 99-2002

This gives us as Musicians a Great opportunity to reach a wide range of listeners. I think its the best thing that ever happened!!

That was always my dream, but right now i don't know. If you know anything about the Record Business, you know they're looking for Longivity. My question was always this. " What does age has to do with good music ? "

Don Williams Sr. is truly one of the most authentic keyboardist of our time, a 21st century George Duke but with his own twist on modern day soul. His music is a diverse mix of many musical influences derived from personal relationships he has had over the years.
I've learned from my mistakes, enough to be able to put that feeling into my music. I would like to think that people will listen and relate to them a lot better.

Don Williams Sr.

Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Don Williams began his career at the age of nine (9). While in elementary school Don taught himself to play the keyboards, violin, saxophone, flute, drums, and bass guitar. Don got his early inspiration from watching the pianist at church and the way she hypnotized the listeners. Don wanted to move people that same way.

During 1973 - 1975 Don participated in local talent shows, winning several. In 1978 while in the military on the U.S.S. Saratoga CV 60, Don's captain, Cpt. Flatley, discovered he played and named him part of his personal entertainment. The group was called " Rainbow Bridge ". Don was in this band for 3 years.
Once out of the military in 1982 Don played with local acts, getting his skills back in order.
During the summer of 1984 Don was asked to audition with a local group who he was told had a possible recording deal. Don made the audition and went home. One half hour later he received a phone call asking him to come back to the audition. It turned out the audition was for Dennis Edwards of the Legendary Temptations. In 1984 he toured with Dennis Edwards and became Musical Director and Road Manager after one year of a six year tour.
In 1995 Don Williams went on tour again with Clevelands own Men at Large, right after the release of their number one hit single, Lets Talk About It. He began to build his skills as a Writer, Artist and Producer.

In the spring of 1999 he began working on his solo project which is now called An intimate Night, but Williams had to put his project on hold because of a phone call he received from the Commodores, so from July 99 to 2002 Don Williams goes on tour again.

Now back at home, Williams is currently working on another album called Lets Ride . For the past (20) twenty years, Williams has had the pleasure of gracing the stage with such performers like:

The O'Jays
The Temptations
Jonathan Butler Commodores
Rachell Farrell
Gerald LeVert
George Duke

I'm kinda ole school, I'm into George Duke . I've had the pleasure of playing with him in Cleveland Oh. at the State Theatre.
Also on stage that evening were, Jonathan Butler, Rachelle Ferrell & Gerald Albright.

My favorite spot is Bermda. My favorite cities are Atlanta and L.A.
