5.0 out of 5 stars "This is a CLASSIC", August 7, 2000

Deniece Williams' first album is a classic debut by a talented vocalist and songwriter. When I first heard "Free" I couldn't get enough. The melody and arrangement grabbed me right off and Niecy's vocals seared her declaration of independence in my musical memory for years to come. This jam is timeless and the album is a classic. It's mix of jazz-inflected soul ("Free"), Earth, Wind and Fire (Maurice White's influence) funkiness ("It's Important to Me") and soulful reflection ("That's What Friends Are For," "If You Don't Believe"). And Niecy witnesses to the listener that somebody is "Watching Over" you. I have always admired Niecy's talent and her conviction to include in her albums a tune to touch your spirit. This is the first of many great albums by a very talented performer. A CLASSIC debut effort.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the 70's Best!, October 25, 2007

I cannot give this cd anything less than 5 stars!I loved this album when I bought it years ago and I still love it! I love the innocence of Deniece's voice and the passion she displays in every note. I can honestly say that this is not the case 31 years later. The hit "Free" was an instant smash and no one else can handle her songs. Will Downing did a remarkable job when he covered"Free". What can one say? Just an awesome singer and an unforgettable time in history for rhythm and blues also known as "Soul".
