Cultural Facts:

1. She Nearly Chose Nursing Over Music: Before her career took off, Williams studied nursing and stepped away from recording for a time to pursue more stable work and raise a family. Music eventually pulled her back.
2. Stevie Wonder Gave Her the Break: After meeting Stevie Wonder backstage through a cousin, Williams auditioned for his backing-vocal group Wonderlove. She toured and recorded with Wonder before establishing herself as a solo artist.
3. Philly Soul Royalty Produced It: My Melody paired Williams with producer Thom Bell, architect of classic records by the Stylistics and Spinners. Recorded at Philadelphia's Sigma Sound, the album produced the enduring R&B hit “Silly” and became a Gold record.
