RIP Paul Williams

We lost a good friend today. I recall talking bout his days with Elvis and those old pix with the king were cool.

Paul Williams aka Wild Child
KGKB [Tyler TX] 1956
KDOK [Tyler] 1958 - Tall Paul
KILE [Galveston TX] 1960
KNUZ [Houston TX] 1960-1973
KQUE [Houston] 1965-1973
KTRH/KLOL [Houston] 1973
KRBE [Houston] 1975
KILT [Houston] 1980
KODA [Houston] 1983
KPRC [Houston] 1987
Univision Radio [Houston] 1992
Now: Paul says (7/08), "I am senior account exec for Univision Radio, Houston, Texas (since 1992); we own six stations in Houston and 80 stations in the U.S. and Puerto Rico; we also own 80 TV stations. I was on the air nine years, have been selling Houston radio for 43 years, and was nominated for the Texas Radio Hall of Fame [2008]. I enjoyed being 'The Wild Child' in the early 1960s at KNUZ; KNUZ and KILT were the two Top-40 radio stations in the market and we had many battles for the number one slot; many of the DJs on the air then are now in the Texas Radio Hall of Fame; we are all friends now and often fight the old battles of the early 1960s verbally; those were the fun days of radio."
 
My condolences to his his family. The "Wild Child" was there in the early days of rock 'n roll, interviewing the likes of Elvis Presley and others. He worked with many of the greats in radio here in Houston. It was an honor to know him.
 
I was an A.E. in the 70's for 102 (KLYX), and then 104 (KRBE). Paul was one of the nicest guys in radio. We had great times back then; the competition was fierce and the promotions were crazy, successful and fun! Much love to his family and all of those who remember radio when it was the greatest job on earth. You're in my thoughts and prayers.
 
Goodbye to a legend and a very dear friend. You will be missed my friend. My condolences to his family.
