Longtime R&B/Soul Singer, entrepreneur and radio personality Alyson Williams has unveiled her latest release, the single, “Summer Nights In Harlem.”
The veteran songstress brings a jazzy, mature, grown-folks vibe to “Summer Nights In Harlem,” as well as sweet sultriness to the accompanying “flip-side,” the ballad “The Romance Of You.” It is the sound Williams has been known for, dating back to her years when she was the first R&B singer signed to Russell Simmons’ Def Jam Records during the 1980’s. Her classic song “Just Call My Name” recently celebrated its’ 30th anniversary.
“Producer Maurice Lynch was putting together a Harlem jazz review and was referred to me by a mutual friend,” says Alyson. “After we completed the show, he offered two songs for me to record – ‘Summer Nights In Harlem’ and ‘The Romance Of You.’ I loved both tunes and offered to cut them with top notch veterans in the music industry- keyboardist Ray Chew (musical director for ABC -TV’s Dancing With The Stars), longtime sax man Kirk Whalum as well as Grammy Award winning bassist Christian McBride.”
A woman of many talents, Alyson also hosts a weekly radio show, Love Notes With Alyson Williams – In The Chill Zone on Tuesday evenings from 8-10 PM EST on WHCR.90.3FM In addition, this multi-faceted wonder woman has a memoir coming out and her reality/talk television show, “The Gig, The Grind,” is on the horizon.
