Paul David Wilson (born August 30, 1952) is a songwriter, composer, conductor, and music producer.
Most of his professional life has been devoted to music, including composing for radio and TV commercials.
He became the president of a start-up record label begun by Frank Thomas, who was then the starring player on the Chicago White Sox baseball team.
Wilson suffered a massive and debilitating stroke when he was 46 years old.
Due to the terribly limiting effects of aphasia, a common but complicated and severe post-stroke condition, he was for a number of years unable to communicate without great difficulty.
His fight back to full functioning has been a decade-long challenge that, although largely successful, in many ways still continues.
