One of the rising stars of the Philly soul scene, the uniquely talented vocalist Tesa Williams has actually been making moves for quite some time. After years of lending her voice in a supporting role to artists such as Gerald Levert and Vesta Williams, Tesa has become a well-respected artist at the front of the stage, wowing audiences with her dynamic presence and beautiful phrasing. Her long overdue solo album is slated to be released in the near future and if this second single from that eagerly anticipated debut is any indication, Williams has a great chance of becoming a big star. On her latest single, Tesa puts her own spin on Deniece Williams' gem, InchFreeInch - which hit No. 2 on the US Billboard Hot Soul Singles chart and No. 25 on the Billboard Hot 100, and also climbed to No. 1 on the UK Singles Chart for two weeks in May 1977. Tesa repurposes the classic song for these modern times with the help of legendary producer Butch Ingram and a superb backing group comprised of the Philadelphia area's finest musicians. Album Tracks 1. Free [Radio Mix] 2. Free [Instrumental]

Digitally remastered and expanded edition of this 1977 album including 10 bonus tracks. Phyllis Hyman is the self-titled solo debut studio album by soul singer/songwriter Phyllis Hyman. The album charted on the Billboard 200 chart, with two singles released from the album InchNo One Can Love You MoreInch was the most successful, charting on the Billboard Hot Soul Singles Chart. This 1977 set from one of music's most emotional and loved singers including many songs she would be later identified with, like Skip Scarborough's InchNo One Can Love You MoreInch which is indicative of her plentiful sensual charm and her rich vocal timbre. Hyman's vocal prowess is well known, as the album shows that she was gifted with an uncommon maturity. Hyman was only in her mid-20's when the album was recorded. That self-possession made her glide through the majority of the material, as on Thom Bell and Linda Creed's InchI Don't Want to Lose YouInch which became a classic tearjerker. Phyllis Hyman veers from instant melodic classics to unformed ideas, a mix that prevents it from being essential. Album Tracks 1. Loving You, Losing You 2. No One Can Love You More 3.
