An immensely talented vocalist able to sing new jack swing tunes or old-time soul ballads with equal skill, Alyson Williams spent awhile on the edge of stardom. The daughter of trumpeter and bandleader Bobby Booker, Williams did background vocals for <a href="spotify:artist:2lnlPzK1BZuPnaBXxMwGuS">Curtis Hairston</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:0uMy5ZKVPBHauBYTTfCojq">Melba Moore</a>, B.B. & Q., <a href="spotify:artist:6MCh8W3POvkiDErm5B9GTR">Ca$hflow</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:4VaFWblR1Rv24L8kAfhtxm">Unlimited Touch</a>, <a href="spotify:artist:62sPt3fswraiEPnKQpAbdE">Bobby Brown</a>, and <a href="spotify:artist:4dgYLAyKDaPKYiz3GRWtcF">Barbara Mitchell</a> before joining <a href="spotify:artist:6axEK9sZSlbE212EPp41eg">High Fashion</a> in 1982. Williams also sang with the Affair before going solo in 1986 with a cover of <a href="spotify:artist:2kreKea2n96dXjcyAU9j5N">the Pointer Sisters</a>' "Yes We Can Can." She joined Def Jam in 1987, and the scorching duet "Make You Mine Tonight" with Chuck Stanley established her credentials with urban audiences. Williams also did a duet with <a href="spotify:artist:1xcuvl9Q3S7Q3b2b0dTJca">Oran "Juice" Jones</a>, "How to Love Again," that was featured on his LP G.T.O.: Gangsters Takin' Over. Her Def Jam debut was Raw in 1989. Williams did another duet, this time with <a href="spotify:artist:347sv3YOHIzbZKVngesAoa">Tashan</a>, in 1989, and the two later toured England together. She returned in 1991 with a self-titled release for the OBR/Columbia label, but it was her last. ~ Ron Wynn, Rovi
