‘ If You Don’t Believe “ has always been one of my favorites! I still play it all the time these days !❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ the trombone solo! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I absolutely love Deneice Williams' music ❤ My favorite songs are Stranger, You're all that matters, My Melody, Cause you love me baby, Black Butterfly, and Let's hear it for the boys!!! Shout out to the magnificent Deniece Williams.
Denise experienced a professionalism and talent with Maurice and EWF. All are exceptional musicians in their own right. My Uncle Don Myrick played sax with them. He was always a beast practicing on Jackson, all horns setup in the front room, incense burning, African art everywhere. He would play for hours. With EWF, the Phenix Horns were top of their Game.....1975-1982.
Neicy, so legendary , and still so beautiful ! Always said she was “ the sweetest voice in music”, no one sounds as sweet as Neicy! She released a new EP in 2021 with a song called “ One Kiss”, one of my favorite new songs !❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💐💐💐💐💐💐🎤🎤🎤
This is Niecy and My Melody were my favorite Deniece Williams albums. The writing, musicianship, vocals, production, TOP NOTCH! I have ALL her albums but those two will always strike a chord with me. I see why she said she felt the ‘magic’ in the studio. I felt it as a ‘listener.’😌🎶❤️👍🏾
@@beautyRest1 No, it has something to do with color. This music came from black people. I know why ( crazy crimes have been perpetrated against Black people) U might want to deny that fact, but it does. This kinda statement is the same as saying, “ I don’t see color.” That’s a weird, privileged, unconnected statement that might deny those crimes. Or maybe U are just from Florida. What do you think makes up the content of Nina Simone moans? Or howling wolf’s howl? It’s blackness with a capital B.🥸 Denise and Stevie and Maurice are black. It’s not an accident that those black folks made this great music. And if U are any other color and love this music, god blessed U with the good taste to love great black music. I mean no offense, but don’t get it twisted. This is great black music. 🙏🏾🔥
@@beautyRest1 “whatever?” Oh the very definition of stupidity as opposed to ignorance and that’s so sad. U’ve been taught something about the people that U share this world and time with. People whose industry U appreciate. We’ve read about George Washington and Thomas Jefferson and learned the pledge of allegiance. And even if it’s a bill of goods, yes, mainly lies, we’ve been good students. When it’s Ur turn U say, whatever? How sad for U. Well, just know, any black art…All Black Art comes from their BLACKNESS. Ur refusal cannot remove that important ingredient. There is no un-ringing that bell. Now- school’s out. U are dismissed.🤓
Wow! Just wow! I had to go back and listen to the song “and if you don’t believe “and listen to the beginning of Charles Stephanie🤪 strumming the piano with the guitar pick and now I hear it now, incredible!
@@alldayvinyl I know right! And I also found it interesting that she originally wrote her songs for E,W&F to record and specifically for Phillip Bailey to sing.
Wonderful to hear Deniece. I was a child in the 70s but Free resonated with me and my family and I can still recall seeing her on TOTP in 1976/77 with the BBC band. In the 90s when I was getting into piano Free was one of the first songs I learned on my Fender Rhodes as it had all the complexity due to the jazzy voicings and I bought all her 70s LPs on vinyl. in some ways it was a gateway into a lot of soul and jazz I got into later.... Deniece seems so down to earth!
Nate Watts is my man!! Met him in 1993 at Winsonic Studio in Beverly Hills. Took pics of he and Gerald Levert (RIP), for his Niece!! Didn't realize the magnitude of this brother, until much later on! 💯🎶✊
"If you don't believe" is amazingly beautiful. The complete cd is perfection. I have the 1st.cd pressing, but I wish that I held onto my original vinyl album.
Deniece Is an extremely unique fixture in the music business and has contributed an incredible quality of Excellence to us. By the way....Free would have also been perfect for EWF! Great song Niecy!
Years ago I was fortunate to find a sealed original LP of this great album. Maybe about 6-7 years ago, I made a transfer of it for my girlfriend, to CD. I remember telling her when I gave her the disc that it's like Earth, Wind, and Fire, but with female vocals (which they also had early on, but that was besides the point for her purposes). She actually knew a couple of Deniece's songs, but didn't recognize her name at first when I gave her the disc, but I knew she would like it.
Respectfully, what is "tinking"? Never heard that term in my lifetime as a musician. Tinking is a term used for knitting. It's not associated with creating music.
This is older black people talk 😂😂 Tinking is like trying stuff out, experimenting, rehearsing etc. it doesn't just apply to music but any creative endeavors. 👍🏾
the year 1976 was a spectacular year with e w -f, because maurice white was producing , denice williams, the emotions, of course, and a soul group called, pockets, all 3 artist blew up big time.

We as black people forget about our artists smh 🤦 she’s so underrated she still should be prevalent right today
Who has forgotten? Speak for Urself. Some of us live for/through this artistry🔥
And it doesn’t have anything to do with color!

I did the same after I did the interview! Pure genius

I just did the same thing lol

NiecEEEEE 🌹💚💙🌹
Nate watts (Detroit Bass Player) came up with that bass line?? Wow!
All those musicians were so badass🔥🔥
Nate Watts is my man!! Met him in 1993 at Winsonic Studio in Beverly Hills. Took pics of he and Gerald Levert (RIP), for his Niece!! Didn't realize the magnitude of this brother, until much later on! 💯🎶✊
Wow, working with Charles Stepney and Tom Bell...legends! And of course Earth, Wind Fire!
She got to work with all the greats, such an extraordinary life she has led ❤️
"If you don't believe" is amazingly beautiful. The complete cd is perfection. I have the 1st.cd pressing, but I wish that I held onto my original vinyl album.
I agree perfection, that album is still pretty well priced on vinyl, i think I paid less than 10 for a clean first press vinyl last year
Kalimba Productions blew up in 1976 with:
-Earth Wind & Fire
-The Emotions
-Deniece Williams
Deniece Is an extremely unique fixture in the music business and has contributed an incredible quality of Excellence to us. By the way....Free would have also been perfect for EWF! Great song Niecy!
agree, would have loved to hear a version of Free by EWF, would have been 🔥
I love her, great music!! Thanks Deniece!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
