Roger Williams (1 October 1924 – 8 October 2011) was an American popular music pianist, best remembered for his versions of "Born Free" and "Autumn Leaves."

The Roger Williams piano style
Makes you cringe or makes you smile.
Those who like his kind of schtick
Think the tricks he does are slick,
While others, of a different mind,
Perhaps more classically inclined,
Remember what was said of old,
That “all that glisters is not gold.”
