Goodie for sure.

You always save my threads. I need to start more topics about singers w/plastic surgery or call a pop icon an aged old slut more often. That'll reel 'em in.

Deniece is incredible. i personally think she's underrated.

CHIC0 said:

Please, advance to the head of the class!

Purely judging by voice, she's tops in my book.

yes I love this version
sooooo much
probably as much as the album version

but yeah she looks 8 ft tall LOL
I've got the audio for this
somewhere in my stash

what are some of ya'lls favorite
Niecy tunes?

mines
"The Paper", "If You Don't Believe"
"Turn Around", "Like Magic"
"The Boy I Left Behind", "Sweet Surrender"
and "I Want You" to name a few

"You're All That Matters"
oh GOD...

I love most of her early stuff
before the 80's catastrophe
I mean, all of it wasn't bad
but she had a very period
after that Let's Hear It For The Boy album

both her & Natalie Cole
had that material in the 80's
where you either love it or you hate it LOL

I love "Niecy".. and love this song, cool performance.
Those youngster's need to take note's. Don't kill your performance, with a lot of over the top runs, screaming, and unnecessary shouting... Just sing the song.

Not to start crap but Mariah's Fly Like A Bird sounds too damn similar to this song...

I'd have thought you would have known by now.
Afterall, you were all over my POSTING: Primer thread.

Wonderful memories from my childhood, hearing this . My mother was a Denise Williams addict, and all her songs, along with Candi Staton's, would begin playing on our record player promptly every Saturday morning at 11am, while we did house chores

Maurice White gave his all when he produced her whole debut album.

theAudience said:

I was listening to a collection of Niecy's duets w/Johnny Mathis and really enjoyed their take on You're All I Need to Get By. Though it was a big R&B hit, I'd never heard it.

Not bad for backing vocalist:Minnie Riperton, Deniece Williams, Lynda Laurence, and Syreeta Wright,..aka Wonderlove.

RipHer2Shreds said:

They did a great job on that cut.

With a lil' help from Stepney.

CHIC0 said:

Yeah she is. I miss her. What's she up to, does anyone know?

My God how I love that song

Oooo-eeee, I likes, I likes. Thanks for posting.

purplecam said:

She's still around. In fact, she won a Grammy last year (or the year before). She focuses on gospel music now.

purplecam said:

She released a CD earlier this year, mostly covered material. I've yet to hear it.

Ottensen said:

Musta been a trend cuz that's how we did our chores too

Wow, thanks for the info y'all! I love this song. It's pure class and I feel like I'm in another world when I listen to it. A classic through and through.

StarMon said:

Yep

Charles Stepney was THEE man.

Harlepolis said:

..."Hey" off topic here, I'm trying to find some Terry Callier from around '73 to '79 or earlier . I know Charles Stepney produced some of his music. I recently heard Sir Duke's "Satin Doll" on an AM station by Terry Callier.

StarMon said:

He has albums available for purchase...



...from '60s to the 00s.


Even the 3...



...Stepney produced albums are available.

once you get a feel
for her material

I suggest you start with the debut album
and hear all the full albums
up til Let's Hear It For The Boy

you'd enjoy the album tracks a whooole lot
if you're like me...
it's like EW+F albums
(well This Is Niecy and Songbird are)
but only Niecy on lead vocals

sorta like
Stevie is to early Syreeta
Larry G. is to Betty Davis
Saadiq is to Joss Stone's latest

I'ma sucker for musicianship
