Rick Paul

A song is a terrible thing to waste.

About Me

Rick Paul's songs combine memorable pop/rock and country melodies with mature, often thought provoking, lyrics on life and love. His songs have been recorded by independent artists from the USA, Europe, and Asia, including Little River Band lead singer Wayne Nelson, who recorded "Little Child Lost" back in 2000 to promote the Child Alert Foundation. In 2004, teenage pop singer Nominjin took "All I Need to Know" to Top 5 in Mongolia for both radio and video play.

Rick's latest release as an artist is the 1960's-style pop/rock single, "Bubble Gum". You can preview the full-length song for free on Napster and Rhapsody .
