  • Description

    Deniece Williams was one of the most popular soul artists of the seventies and eighties. BLACK BUTTERFLY €" THE ESSENTIAL NIECY is her first ever 2CD complete career retrospective, featuring all 27 of her Billboard R&B hit singles and classic album tracks. As well as an interview with the lady herself, the album includes a foreword written by her occasional duet partner, the legendary Johnny Mathis. Deniece was born in Gary, Indiana and after releasing some singles on Chicago labels, became Stevie Wonder's backing singer and a member of Wonderlove. After a performance in 1976, Earth, Wind & Fire's Maurice White offered her a contract as a songwriter for Kalimba Productions and convinced her to re-launch her own recording career. Her Columbia debut album, THIS IS NIECY was produced by White and Charles Stepney. Its first single was a huge success. € Free' penned by Williams and Susaye Greene reached #2 R&B, #25 Pop and topped the UK singles chart in 1977. € That's What Friends Are For' followed it into the UK top ten at #8. Big Break Records proudly presents BLACK BUTTERFLY €" THE ESSENTIAL NIECY, which includes all of her chart hit singles from 1976-1989. Newly remastered with rare single mixes and presented in a deluxe digipak complete with a 24-page booklet and detailed liner notes.
