THE RAINBOW CONNECTION
Music and Lyrics by Paul Williams and
Ken Ascher
Introduced by Kermit the Frog in The
Muppet Movie (1979), Karen’s and my version, recorded in 1980, is one of a
number of outtakes from our Made In America
album. As with “Leave Yesterday Behind,” Karen’s vocal on this track is a
“work lead”; the singers and orchestra were added in 1999. Fans, knowing
of the track’s existence, have been writing me for years, asking for its
release. I try to be accommodating.
