Paul David Wilson (born August 30, 1952) is an American 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.[citation needed] 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.[1] His fight back to full functioning has been a decade-long challenge that, although largely successful, in many ways still continues.[citation needed]
