Alyson Williams’ career spans over three decades and includes her hits  “Just Call My Name,” “Sleep Talk,” “My Love Is So Raw,” and “Yes, We Can Can.” She got her start providing backing vocals for artists like Melba Moore, BB&Q, Cashflow, Bobby Brown and Barbara Mitchell, before striking out on her own.

Known primarily for his work with the legendary Luther Vandross, Nat Adderley Jr. wrote and arranged Luther Vandross’ first top 20 pop hit “Stop to Love” as well as other Vandross singles “Wait for Love” and the Grammy-nominated “Give Me the Reason.” He produced tracks on Vandross’ final seven albums, including the duet with Beyonce “The Closer I Get To You” which also appeared on her album Dangerously in Love, where it won the 2004 Best R&B Performance by a Duo or Group Grammy award.
