"Most pop fans know Williams from her mega-selling "Let's Hear It for The Boy" from the "Footloose" soundtrack, along with her hit duet with Johnny Mathis, "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late." However, Deniece Williams had R & B and pop success during the late 70's and early 80's with a series of love ballads and mid-tempo tunes, found on this album.



"Free" comes from her first album, "This is Niecy," and it is the perfect introduction to the singer, along with a cry of independence as it was the first song that she released after being a background singer in Stevie Wonder's Wonderlove. "Now is the Time for Love," hailing from the same album is also presented on this disc.



"Baby, Baby, My Love's All for You" is pulled from her second album, "Songbird," and it is a nice mid-tempo tune with a strong male vocal accompaniment.



Williams' second album, "When Love Comes Calling," is highlighted by the inclusion of the title cut, the dance-friendly "I Found Love," and one of her best songs, the riveting "Why Can't We Fall in Love?"



However, four cuts that are on this album are culled from her exemplary 1981 album, "My Melody": "What Two Can Do," "You're All that Matters," and the fan favorites "Silly" and the title track from that album.



The album is rounded out by the aforementioned duet with Mathis and "Waiting," taken from Williams' 1982 offering, "Niecy."



In a time when pre-packaged vocal ingénues are ruling the airwaves and websites, it is refreshing to find an artist with an uncompromising and truly genuine talent and this disc showcase Williams at her best."

Fantastic

"From start to finish you will be amazed with a voice that is not engineered like todays artist. I am in the age group as the Britney Spears and I can tell you they don't have the soul resounding voice like the Deneice Williams, the Anita Bakers, Patti Labelle,the Arethas, the Whitney's,the Janet, the Celine and Mariah whose music are long lasting and classics. "Silly", "You're All that Matters","I am So Proud", "When Love Comes Calling" "Its Gonna Take A Miracle", "Free" are songs that evokes emotions that we all experience some point in our lifetime and its an album worth owning. The Simple titles of each song leaves your heart wanting more, especially the simplicity of "I am so Proud" embodies what you feel about someone else accomplishments other than your own. And I can say "I am proud" of Deniece Williams for giving that soulful voice to world to hear. Get it along with her Two Greatest Hits album and Guarantee you will not be dissappointed."
