The album debut by Kelli Williams is no ordinary debut. Her voice is pure class, like a cross between Whitney Houston and Oletta Adams according to one critic while the album 'Kelli Williams' with its mixture of sassy R&B and languid ballads was made for radio land. Although this is her solo debut she's been on record before. At age 14 she appeared on the 25th anniversary album of James Cleveland's Gospel Music Workshop of American and was later on a hit album commemorating the 25th anniversary of the death of Martin Luther King. Kelli Williams is a natural. From the first time she picked up a microphone to her first electrifying performance before a national audience, she has always known music would be a part of her life. It started early for Kelli, under the influence of her mother, Carolyn, and her father, Eddie, each talented in their own right.\r
