I have been in total bliss with that song "If You Don't Believe". It's so evocative and deeply sad. In fact, I have had the "Gonna Take A Miracle: The Best Of Deniece Williams" compilation in constant rotation lately. I can't believe this is the only thing I have by her in my collection.
This woman is truly an angelic songstress! Check me out and add me on:

[Edited 8/30/07 5:16am] Yeah, I utterly love that song because it's very optimistic and I've always thought of it as a metaphoric song about the pride of being an African-American. Its message is powerful as well! Check me out and add me on:

And, I agree she has such a beautiful voice. She's yet another artist who's shamefully underrated.  | |

Every few years,I see her in concert.She frequently performs at our Super Oldies Concerts with other classic R&B acts.Her set begins with a stunning,breathtaking a capella rendition of "God Is Amazing".The audience goes nuts Then she launches into "It's Gonna Take A Miracle","Silly,"Let's Hear It For The Boy" and a brilliant encore "Free".
I hope she appears at the next show,in February 2008. | |

Amazing Grace Deniece Williams, Emotions at Sunset Junction, Saturday, August 18 By Ernest Hardy Wednesday, August 22, 2007 - 4:25 pm Deniece Williams, Emotions at Sunset Junction, Saturday, August 18 It was the bitterest of ironies. Deniece Williams opened her Sunset Junction set with an a cappella version of “God Is Amazing,” punctuated with sista-girl testifying, only to tumble from the stage in a fall that left her lying on the ground for a good 10 or 15 minutes as the hushed crowd wondered how badly she’d been hurt. Minutes crawled as her sons rushed tearfully from backstage, dramatically hugged, lead the crowd in prayer and sang gospel songs. Eventually, she was given a mike, and she joked, “I am fine. I’m not leaving here till I sing something.” And from the ground, she performed a stellar version of “’Cause You Love Me, Baby,” insane high notes and all. The crowd went nuts. Then she was lifted back onstage, hobbling onto a chair where she sat and sang the hell out of “Silly” – hair askew, clear grimace of pain on her face (she kept rubbing her head) and tears flowing. It wasn’t just a textbook case of “the show must go on” but a sublime lesson in performance — she funneled her obvious physical discomfort into the song’s words of emotional anguish. The result was transcendent, and she climaxed with gospel fervor. Following “Black Butterfly,” which she introduced with an apropos speech about the necessity of hardship and obstacles in life, she asked the crowd, “Two more [songs]? Is that okay? Cause I’m sitting up here with an ankle the size of Baltimore.” But the pain won out, and after a lilting version of “Free,” she was rolled from the stage via wheelchair and shuttled to the hospital. It’s hard to imagine a better overall performance (magnificent talent, unscripted drama, barreling forward through pain) all weekend. Earlier, the Emotions had won the packed crowd over with hits everyone knew (“Best of My Love,” “Don’t Wanna Lose Your Love,” “Boogie Wonderland,” “Flowers”) and classics from their Stax days (the Isaac Hayes–penned “Show Me How”). Their joy in performing was obvious — the very animated Sheila broke out every old-school ’80s dance except the Running Man — even if their voices were sometimes ragged and poorly miked. Still, their harmonies were often as thrilling as ever, with the combined voices somehow filling in what the sisters might have individually lost to time. http://www.laweekly.com/m...ace/17079/ test | |
