Williams’ instrumental “Classical Gas” receives three Grammy Awards: Best Instrumental Composition, Best
Contemporary-Pop Performance, Instrumental, and Best Instrumental Arrangement. Williams was the
head writer of the TV variety show “The Smothers Brothers” at the time he wrote
the piece and performed it on the show.
When the song reached the Top Ten,
Williams asked a filmmaker to create a video of classic art in time to the
music entitled “3000 Years of Art”.
