The band were signed to Zodiac Records and released the single "Hangin' Around"/"Mr Postman".

In 1973, Lew convinced Williams to leave Face and join a new television show called 'Free Ride'.

In 1974 Lew convinced Williams to leave Face [which at that time featured John Parker on guitar, Mark Fitt on bass and Paul Dunningham on drums] to pursue a solo career as the new show "Free Ride" was being launched.

Williams was well suited for the television role, which allowed him to perform in front of a national audience, gaining exposure.

[5] Late in 1974, Williams released his debut solo single, "Celebration"/"Let Love Come Between Us", but failed to chart.

In May 1975, Williams released a song written by Vanda & Young titled "Yesterday Was Just the Beginning of My Life".

It contained the single "It Doesn't Matter Anymore" which peaked at number one, giving Williams his second chart topper.

During the 1980s, Williams established himself as a session singer in Sydney singing many radio and TV commercials and become a favoured back up vocalist on albums by major Australian talent including; Eurogliders' Absolutely, The Church's Heyday, Renée Geyer's Live at the Basement and Jenny Morris's Body and Soul.

In 1987, Williams recorded the "Home and Away" theme song with Karen Boddington, which was released as a single in 1988.

"Show No Mercy" was certified ARIA platinum certification in Australia,[8] and was chosen to launch the 1990 New South Wales Rugby League grand final.

Between 1999 and 2000, Williams worked as a vocal coach on the Australian Popstars series on the Seven Network, including the female pop group Bardot.

In a 2013 interview, Williams recalls "Todd [Hunter] gave me a call out of the blue, flew me over, sat me at the kitchen table and said 'Hey, wanna join a rock and roll band?'".
