(Podcast Theme)
It was somewhere in the 1980's when I first heard Deniece Williams sing. The first song I heard her sing was, "It's Gonna Take a Miracle", the next song, "I'm So Proud", and then the song "Do What You Feel". But she had an album in 1976 titled Deniece Williams "This is Niecy". A song from another one of her albums called "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late" reached No. 1. It was a song she performed with Johnny Mathis released in 1978.
Deniece Williams made many songs, and she has been singing for a long time. I was probably about 10, 11, or 12 when I was hearing her sing. I remember her single titled "Silly". Because Deniece sounded soprano, I was a little shy about singing her song. I didn't get along too well with high notes. (singing) I could never hit as high as Deniece Williams. Back then, I was just a mocking bird learning to sing: trying to mock records when I first heard Niecy. It did teach me something about singing.
The most memorable song that I heard was, "Let's Hear It for the Boy" which was an album released in 1984. It was a song for a movie called "Footloose". Whenever they would show the preview of that movie on television, I would hear Deniece singing that song very little in the background. I remember hearing enough that I knew it was a hit song. I searched all over in stores for the single, but I was too early. And when I finally bought the single, I discovered and instrumental side. I learned the words to the song and would practice on it everyday.
Today Deniece Williams is making diva stories. You can find her YouTube channel on YouTube. I really enjoy hearing her stories. You can find out more about what she's been up to at her website deniecewilliams.com. I'm Gail Nobles, and you're listening to The Hitmaker's Music Podcast show.
