Editor's note

Deniece Williams, the soaring voice from Gary

A singer whose gospel roots and Stevie Wonder connection shaped a career of R&B grace.

For a quick sense of her, listen to 'It's Gonna Take a Miracle' and 'Wrapped Up.' They show what she does best.

When Stevie Wonder produced her debut 'This Is Niecy' in 1976, it introduced a voice that could float effortlessly over melodies. That sound found its purest expression in 'It's Gonna Take a Miracle,' a 1982 single that became her signature. Her catalog blends R&B and gospel with themes of faith and perseverance.

She started singing in her church choir in Gary, Indiana. After Stevie Wonder produced her first album, she released several records through the late 1970s and 1980s, including 'Song Bird' and 'When Love Comes Calling.'
