In 1955, Roger Williams recorded the song "Autumn Leaves," which launched his career and was, and still is, the only solo piano instrumental to reach #1 on the Billboard charts. It's the best-selling solo piano recording of all time. Bill talks with Williams about what the song, and autumn, mean to him.
