James Armstrong Theatre [Torrance Cultural Arts Center] 3330 Civic Center Drive

Paul Williams has touched many lives with songs like Rainbow Connection, We've Only Just Begun, You and Me Against the World, and Evergreen. In a rare Southern California appearance, this award-winning Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee will perform many of his beloved songs. His music has been recorded by artists such as Elvis Presley, Frank Sinatra, Willie Nelson, Ella Fitzgerald, David Bowie, Ray Charles, R.E.M., and Luther Vandross, but is especially wonderful when performed by the man who wrote the words.
