RIP Christopher Williams This is such a shock. All I remember is how crazy the women used to go over him. Especially when we, I mean the light skin brothers were in. he also has a very good voice and was a little underrated as an artist.
Subject: FW: Singer Christopher Williams dead at age 38 Contemporary soul singer Christopher Williams died today in his Atlanta home after a brief illness. The cause of death is not known. He was best known for his role in the movie "New Jack City and hit single from the soundtrack, "Dreaming." Williams released his CW debut in 1987 which Williams turned gold and reached number one. His 1993 album (Changes) featured the hits "Every Little Thing" and "Come Go with Me." 1995's Not a Perfect Man brought a new direction for Williams; his first album as sole executive producer uses elements of reggae, R&B, hip-hop and country. ~ John Bush, All Music Guide.

I heard about this yesterday but keep hearing it's an internet rumor. Supposedly there was one going arounda bout Eric B. last week as well. I haven't seen/heard any specific sources yet so I don't know what to believe. [Edited 9/7/05 10:41am] Been gone for a minute, now I'm back with the jump off | |

And, if this is false, I extremely apologize. This was sent to me by someone who had it forwarded to them on a govern,ment email.
I would love to find out that this is untrue and Chris is just doing his thing and working on new music. I think it's just pathetic that people would make up rumors about death, I just don't understand that? Again, I apolize if this is untrue. | |

I heard he died due to an infection from a wound he received.
It seems as if some dude with awful hair and bad taste in music stabbed Chris in the hand while smirking, "pretty mutha****, I never liked you anyway." Hope it's just a rumor. Some people tell me I've got great legs... | |

They usually go after famous people who have fallen out of the limelight just long enough to make it SEEM true. Al B. Sure is next. "But what of black women? . . .
