"Silly" is a song written by Fritz Baskett, Clarence McDonald and Deniece Williams and performed by Williams. The soulful ballad was released off Williams' My Melody album in 1981 and became the most successful track off the album reaching as high as number fifty-three on the Billboard Hot 100 becoming an even bigger success on the R&B chart where it peaked at number eleven. It has since gone on to become one of Williams' most requested songs over a career that has spanned over thirty years. The song featured production by Williams and respected Philly soul producer Thom Bell. The song was recorded at Philadelphia's acclaimed Sigma Sound Studios. The song would be later covered by singer Taral Hicks nearly two decades later in 1997 and was released as the second single off Hicks' debut album becoming a hit on the R&B chart.
One of Williams' influences, Patti LaBelle, later recorded the song for her 2005 album, Classic Moments. Singer Monica later sampled the instrumental intro and bridge of the song for her number-one R&B hit, "Everything to Me" and also interpolated Williams' ending high notes at the end of the song. Monica and Williams sang "Everything to Me" and "Silly" respectively together at the BET Awards in 2010. The-Dream also sampled the song for his song "Silly", which featured Casha, on his free mixtape 1977. - Hudba
Just love when youngins finally hear our music from 70's and 80's
Please, Please ‼️ don't sleep on Deniece Williams. That heavenly voice, the range. The lady can SANG. Her vocals are so soft, easy and innocent in the beginning, then her vocals start soaring up telling you why she feels so Silly.
Omg yaaass‼️
At 61 years old, I’ve always said back then that this lady has the sweetest voice in music, I could listen to Neicy all day! She is a soul R&B legend! When she was paired with music producer Thom Bell it was a match made in musical heaven! Her sweet voice combined with Thom’s beautiful lyrics, melodies and lush arrangements were perfection!
I actually wasn't sure you'd like this pick, Empress, but looks like you really get why it is so special! I also love how the song has such a quiet, sparse quality, with her voice out front, almost Acapella, to tell the sweet story of longing and unrequited love! Pure 70 🔥🔥🔥!
It's so good!🔥🔥🔥
Can't wait for you to hear black butterfly by Denise Williams.
Add this sing to Your repertoire. You'd do that song and Deniece justice and make it Your own!
This song is so so precious. So glad to see you appreciated it. Niecy has more in store for you.
My ex who passed way in 2013 loved this song and it always reminds me of her, she is dearly missed by me R.I.P. LV
The LEGENDARY Iconic Ms Denise Williams
The Genius of the LEGENDARY Iconic Mr Thom Bell
Glad you've found one of the great, sweet voices of the late 70's, early 80's. Her top end is just terrific. Try her duet with Johnny Mathis, "Too Much, Too Little, Too Late", and her great solo hit, "Black Butterfly". What I think was really smart was how the writer and producer decided to do this in 3/4 waltz time in order to give it that danceable yet intimate feel. Brilliant.
I LOVE anything Thom Bell produces for almost anyone, but especially for Niecy!!! Voice of a Butterfly!!!
🔥🔥
once upon a time deniece williams and minnie ripperton sang backup for stevie the wonder...
When this song first came out it tore me up. I was working at a home for children at the time. When it came on the radio all the kids would come running to listen and wait for that climax high note then they would all cheer. It is indeed a great song by a wonderful artist.
Loved your reaction and analysis of this song. It's always been one of my favorites. Williams has phenomenal vocals.
Thank u!
Denise Williams' voice is amazing and she has many great songs but this is probably my favorite. ❤❤
Although I could reminisce all day about what slow grooves like this mean to someone like myself who came of age when this came out, I’m fascinated by Empress’s reaction to this because as she said she recognizes this from a “sample”. Being in my 50’s and remembering when every party ended with the lights turned down and a slow drag😇 I’m interested in how the music over the last say 10 to 15 years affects interactions and relationships 🤔
That would be a great study
My favorite by Denise William's was ":Black Butterfly ".. only one other reactor has reacted to it on CZcams..it's fire and very inspiring
My mother played this a lot when I was little, A LOT!!😁
Yeah one of the best songs ever made
This is the song Monica sampled Everything to Me. My mother had this album it was called My Melody.
I was shook then and I’m still shook hearing it now 😊
💯💯
Jammmmm
It's a joy to watch you like this song so much that you've just got to sing it, Empress. And when you were singing, you were serious about singing the way Niecy sang it.
😂thanks!
This is a straight up classic!!!😭🔥🙌🏽
This Deniece Williams song Silly can be compared to Bonnie Raitt song I can't make you love me. Both in my opinion are among the BEST songs EVER MADE! Almost EVERYBODY can relate to the songs meanings! 😎
Empress, you almost sound like The great Denise Williams! You can really sing!🤩🤩
She is Awesome 💯
this song always want to tear great pick
Love Neicy! You should check out "If You Don't Believe" and "Black Butterfly". You can't go wrong with any of her songs!
Ooh you gotta do “It’s Your Conscience “. It’s amazing . Also actress and singer Taral Hicks from the movie A Bronx Tale does her own amazing version of “Silly”.
Free is my favorite song from her (this is probably my second, then Black Butterfly). Something about the vocals and the mellow-groovy track, particularly the cymbals - you’ll know why when you hear it.
Now you need to react to her cult and urban classic "Black Butterfly"
The song makes me genuinely happy and sad at the same time but this is my first time reacting to you but when you first sang that first part you sounded just as good kind of blew my mind
wow thanks!!!
Always love your reactions. You and I have the same ear, but you are a better singer than I, by far! How is it that we keep circling around the same artists and songs?! This has one of the best voices I have ever heard! She has it all, range, power, control, melody, vulnerability, and strength. She evolved into a professional gospel career, which earned her 4 Grammys. Check out "I Surender All" and "Sparrow"
Wow thank u!
Sweet Philly Soul
Yes come through Neicy! I was waiting for you to join in with this one Empress because this song is perfect for that beautiful voice of yours!🎼🎶🎵🎶
🥰thank u!
@@EmpressReacts You are very welcome! 😁
I don’t know Who. Is prettiest empress Denice Willlams both have great voices
aw thanks!
Along with Minnie Riperton, one of the backup singers for Stevie Wonder.You've got a beautiful voice too Empress. You
really do.
Wow thanks
Blew my mind
Black butterfly is my favorite from her
Denice got some mega hits......2 of my favorites from her is " Free" , " Black Butterfly"......if you love this song that much i cant wait to see your reaction when you hear those mentioned songs
This is definitely another slept on classic. Check out David Ruffin - Don't you go Home, Gladys Knight and the Pips - On & On and Major Harris - I've got over Love. Great reaction as always Empress! Keep it up. This generation don't know but we need soul music more than EVER!!!
Wow Empress! We can tell you REALLY liked this song! You were so animated! It's great to see! I was only 11 when this song came out so I was catching adult feeling for it yet, but I was captivated by her beautiful voice. My favorite by her is a duet with Jonny Mathis - Too Much, Too Little, Too Late.
Johnny Mathis is alive and still performing!
@@frankiebowie6174 I know that an older singing artist died recently so I had to look it up. It was Charlie Pride I was thinking of. Sorry I got it mixed up. I'll edit my post. Thanks.
@@LadybugLuv
The rumors of his death are greatly exaggerated! 😆
....NIECY!??? ...nie-CY!?? ..***DENIECE WILLIAMS TRIVIA TIME!!!*** ...it's time to get silly.......
- Deniece was at a crossroads at this time; She was leaving the 'Disco Diva' moniker behind (she had a #1 Disco hit in 1979 with "I've Got The Next Dance"), and doing more 'contemporary' R&B....then, she came across legendary Producer Thom Bell (The Spinners, The Stylistics), and asked him to produce her 1981 LP, "My Melody"....
...Oh, did her label (Columbia / Sony) have a PRAH-BLEM with it! ...they thought Thom's sound was 'too Old' for the 'new' 80's, and was against it.... 'Niecy preserved, and the Album was done with him....the singles, "What Two Can Do" & "It's Your Conscience" did middling to poor, and the record label was gonna drop the project...
-...of COURSE, of course!! ...a Philly DJ played the WHOLE Album on the Radio, and "Silly" blew the phone-lines UP! ...It did SO well in popularity, the label had to rush-release the single, to match up with the airplay it was getting!!
- ...It peaked at #11 R&B Sept., 1981, and is a 'Quiet Storm' CLASSIC!! ....Deniece did even better on the next LP; her cover of "It's Gonna Take A Miracle" was a HUGE R&B / Pop hit, and One of the Top 10 tunes of 1982!!
..'Niecy also gave a little ditty to a Soundtrack once, too...sumpthin' 'bout, '....hearing it for The Boy'!? ((🤔))
It's Gonna Take a Miracle is definitely classic. Ms. Williams has Vo-CALS for DAYS!!!!
Interesting so her label thought this song sounded dated in 1981‼️
Thank you for reminding me of "I've Got The Next Dance". I had forgotten about that one.
And her.#1 duet with Johnny Mathis is great too. Gary, Indiana didn’t only produce the Jackson’s, but her as well
She has a voice similar to Minnie Ripperton to my ear. I do not remember this tune E. It's quite nice. Cheers
Monica sampled Deniece Williams' Silly.
I guess everyone has felt this way sometime or another. It was silly of me to feel that he felt a way about me when he clearly didn’t. You live, you learn. You go on.
You are on the rise. Much success is coming your way.
Thank u!!
Originally done by the Royalettes mid 60s. This was a fantastic cover absolutely loved it Always dug this great song. Wouid appreciate if u would react to You keep me Hanging On by Vanilla Fudge in 68. Fantastic cover originally done by the Supremes. It's physedelic, Rock and more.
🔥🔥
Great reaction!
Thanks
Niecy, the "Songbird of Soul." Listen to her sing "Touch Me Again" (Niecy's most beautiful song and a Master class vocal performance that no one will improve on), the truly fantastic "Why Can't We Fall In Love" and the absolutely mountainous "Strangers".
You've got a beautiful voice, Empress. You should sing some cover songs and post them on here..
Thank u!
Free is my favorite by her
Girl you sound almost like her 😁🔥
Oh wow! I consider that a huge compliment
She's from my hometown Gary Indiana, the same like Michael Jackson...
Oh wow‼️
An aria.
You been practicing. You hit that lick alright.
Thanks
She broke her ankle in the middle of a show and finished the show. I think her son, grown man, carried her to the hospital after. True old school professionalism. I don't love her, I admire her. Great lady.
Dang!
React to her song Let's Hear It For The Boy please.
Please react to her performance of Free on Soul Train. Thx
"Free"
Beautiful voice
Have you reacted to Black Butterfly and or Free?… Her best work in my humble opinion, Classics. Enjoy your reactions God bless
Free yes! Thank u‼️czcams.com/video/2iAEIL_bw3s/video.html
