Paul "Hucklebuck" Williams (July 13, 1915 – September 14, 2002) was an African American jazz and blues saxophonist, bandleader, and songwriter.
His record "The Huckle-Buck", recorded in December 1948, was one of the most successful R&B records of the time.
In his Honkers and Shouters, Arnold Shaw credited Williams as one of the first to employ the honking tenor saxophone solo that became the hallmark of rhythm and blues and rock and roll in the 1950s and early 1960s.
