Linda Williams

Vocalist and pianist Linda Williams, a local of NEW YORK, was a music movie director for Natalie Cole through the ‘70s and co-composed “La Costa,” from 1977’s Thankful. The music caught to such an degree that versions had been later documented by Ahmad Jamal and Philip Upchurch. In 1979, Williams was showcased being a vocalist on two music from Richard Evans’ self-titled record for Horizon/A&M, especially the rare-groove traditional “Capricorn Increasing.” The same calendar year, she released the Evans-produced, Arista-issued Town Living record — a coveted jewel itself featuring “Elevate Our Thoughts” and “Our Melody.” Williams later on proceeded to go into music education and performed and recorded as Aziza; she trained Alicia Keys on the Professional Performing Arts College and released an record in 2007, Jazzsoetry, Vol. 1.
