The surprising stories behind 'Rainbow Connection' and the other classic songs
When Paul Williams and Kenny Ascher were hired by Jim Henson to write the songs for The Muppet Movie, they started with Kermit's opening number. That song, "The Rainbow Connection," would become a signature ballad for the Muppets.
