The year of the powerhouse Dance DIVA vocal is ahead!
Celebrated dance music artist Jessica Williams was one of ten children raised in Tyler, Texas. She was singing as soon as she could talk, joining the family for gospel sings at home and at church. As soon as she was able she headed to Los Angeles, eagerly accepting an offer to work with Motown Producer H. B. Barnum. Jessica found herself backing Motown stalwarts Diana Ross on "Love Hangover" and Thelma Houston on "Don't Leave Me This Way," along with songs for Marvin Gaye, Smokey Robinson and The Jacksons. Although she had hoped to join the Motown stars as an artist, it took a deal with a Dance producer who gave her the chance to join a group called Arpeggio with who she topped the charts in the 80's with the hits "Love & Desire" and "Let the Music Play" on Polydor Records.
Jessica then went on to have solo hits "Queen of Fools", "Limelight" and "Love Hostage". Jessica also showed her vocal prowess exploring other music styles backing both The Jazzy Crusaders on the "Ghettoblaster" album and R&B diva Stephanie Mills. She has also toured extensively backing up Helen Reddy amongst others and had a release that gave her cult status with the Man2Man produced camp rendition of "These Boots Are Made For Walking" bringing her major fans in Mexico and the Eurodance arena.
She worked alongside her husband John B. Williams, the Bass Player in "the Posse" on the Arsenio Hall TV show and has continued to perform her club dates which bought her into contact with LA based Producer Rick Gianatos. Their first collaboration being a cover of the Donna Summer classic "Sunset People". Jessica provided vocals on the soundtrack of the acclaimed movie "TRICK" with a storming cover of "I Am Woman". Rick and Jessica are now currently working on her new album entitled "TELL MAMA" - the first single released was a cover of the underground HiNRG Disco classic "24 Hours A Day" which was also a chart hit in the nineties for Dance act NOMAD ("I wanna give you devotion"). The second single was an outstanding version of the Mica Paris track "SO GOOD." Jessica's storming Smokey vocals are sounding better than ever and with a whole Album featuring a variety of great tracks all worthy of single release due later in 2023 she is going from strength to strength. This latest single is a cover of the O’Jay’s 1978 Album track “This Time Baby” which was also the B side to their 1978 Million seller “Used ta be my girl”. The track was covered by Disco star Jackie Moore in 1979 and became a massive Dance and Disco anthem hitting the number one spot in Billboard’s Disco chart as well as 7 weeks on their R&B Chart. In 2005 parts of the melody and song words were used by the FREEMASONS in their massive dance hit “Love on My Mind” featuring Amanda Wilson.
This new version by Jessica will bring the song back to the dancefloors and Radio with a vengeance for sure!
