The songwriter for the now-classic 70s hit 'Everybody Plays the Fool' who's music has been sampled and covered by multiple artists passed away June 17 of illness.
Williams, along with Rudy Clark and J.R. Bailey penned the-now classic song “Everybody Plays the Fool,” originally recorded in 1972 and covered by numerous artists. In recent years, Williams’ output has been sampled by artists like Alicia Keys and Lil’ Wayne.
In 1968, Williams founded A Dish-A-Tunes LLC Publishing, a family owned and operated music company. During the last five decades Williams added over 500 songs to his music catalogue. In 2004, the song “You Don’t Know My Name,” recorded by Keys and produced by Kayne West on “The Diary of Alicia Keys,” won a Grammy and so did Williams since it sampled the 1975 song “Let Me Prove My Love to You,” co-written by Williams and performed by The Main Ingredient.
Some of his songs include “Love, Love, Love” , “I Can’t See Me Without You” , “Let Me Prove My Love To You” , “Only When You’re Lonely” , “Seven Lonely Nights” , “Keep on Holding On” and “Hoping You Will Come Back” . Williams is survived by his wife; a sister, Dorothy Jones; sons Kenny Williams Jr., Kevin D. Williams and Kalvin Williams; a daughter, Cheryl Nicholson; a stepson, Kenny J. Seymour; grandchildren and great-grandchildren.
