Deniece Williams (born June 3, 1950) is an R&B singer best known for her smash hit "Let's Hear It For The Boy", which reached the number one position in 1984. Also known for her 70s hits, "Silly", "Free" (remade in the '90s by Chanté Moore) and Black Butterflies" (which showcased a glimpse of her miraculous range), Williams sang back-up for Stevie Wonder and Minnie Riperton. In Riperton's "Every Time He Comes Around", the "opera singer" in the background is actually Williams. She is also the mother of R&B and rap producer Jazze Pha. She also shared a #1 hit on the Billboard Pop Singles Chart with Johnny Mathis in 1978 with "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late".
