[2] He was the second drummer for Crime (1976–1977), the original singer for Flipper (1979) and the Sleepers (1977–1981), and vocalist for Toiling Midgets (1981–1983).
[5] In 1976, Williams was the drummer and an early member of Crime (where he was called "Ricky Tractor"), until he was kicked out in 1977 for his "inconsistencies" both on his instrument and in his personality.
He was invited that year by Michael Belfer to become the vocalist for The Sleepers, which released one EP, one single and one album before breaking up in 1981.
Towards the end of his life, Williams lived with his mother in Mountain View, California.
His mother was killed in a car accident, and a year and two months later, Williams himself was dead.
