Deniece Williams - Free (Audio) 

Earth, Wind & Fire did the music for this song. Verdine White on bass. Larry Dunn on keys. Maurice & Phillip B., background voices. And those Phoenix horns too. Dem boys made this a smooth song. ❤❤❤

Who’s here just to be in that moment again 2024 ❤😊

My grandmother would wake us all up playing this song at full blast at 3am. I would get so upset. I look back and laugh now. I love you Gran- Gran rest easy. You’re free ❤

My new son-in-love’s Mom used to play this for him as a child. He and my daughter got married last night 7/29/2024. It was his dance with his Mom and they two-stepped. We love this song, again. ❤❤

This song is a MASTERPIECE!! Who agrees??!!

My mother used to play this song all the time 💕💕 R.I.P. 💚💚💚🌸

2019 who's still jamming with this song? I love classic music😘😍

1976, what an amazing year for music.

no matter the generation, you cant deny this song

2024 who is listening

I want to be free from all the evil in this world

I am 59 years old...this is one that plays in my head the most😊

To all who is listening I wish you nothing but better days. Bless up.

Her voice is beyond the gift......

If butterflies could make music it would sound like this🤗❤💖💥

My home town Gary Indiana, everyone always thinks of Michael Jackson, but not many know our queen Deniece Williams is also from Gary, born and raised, and still has family here and comes back to perform regularly as recently as last year at Indiana University northwest in Gary and still sounds like perfection.

I love all my black people ❤️ stay safe

One of the prettiest songs that was ever recorded..Not too mention the Bass back drop..Old School at its finest. So glad I got to experience this when it was 1st released..The prettiest love song ever..

😢😭Remember my older sister singing around the house when this came out, RIP SHERI ❤U

I LOVE this song ...They do NOT make music like this anymore CLASSIC ❤

Deneice Williams one of the best, yet most underrated R&B singers of all time!

One of my favorite songs. I am free. Living my life for the Lord.

This released in 1975 The year I was born and the year my mother crossed over to the other side. She has been letting me know she is with me by playing me her favorites..this was one of them. I meditate to it & tap into her vibe daily. Feels like I was never without her I'm learning about her thru song..what a blessing!Thanks mom🥰

OMG! Heard that song played yesterday at Starbucks and it brought back so many memories. When I told the barista that it was a big hit back in 1977, she said "Really? It is that old?" Good music never ages.

"I want to be free.... and I just got to be me." Something about those words...it just hits the soul.

Literally one of if not the most beautiful song ever written!

Who still Jamming in 2021Smooth listening ❤️❤️❤️☺️☺️☺️

This song popped up in my playlist at the right moment..i just got out of a relationship and instead of feeling dumped, i feel 'free'..finally free from the abuse..this song is so fitting in some way...

I’m only 23 and I’m jamming this right now,if your soul is righteous no matter the generation this song will effect you at least musically

Born in 1998, only 21. So lucky to have a father who played these classics around me while I was growing up. ✨ This song is so inspiring as I move into my 20's.

I'm 17 and wish they made music like this still 😭😭

Gary, Indiana's finest💖 We love you Niecy💯

How many listen to this but get spiritual vibes!!!🌈🌈🌈 #free

Deniece's vocal intro does sounds like she's an angel descending as glorious smoke fades away and suddenly there she is in full beauty

Omg I saw Deniece 1978 San Diego sports arena sing this song. She opened up for earth wind and fire. She had on a white dress that sparkled under a single light. She was breath taking. Ya had to be there. I was spell bound.

Classic of classics !!!!

This takes me back to my childhood Saturday clean the house day - I can smell clean laundry, the pine-sol and incense now

Sorry to say but there are no modern songs that is so loving and beautiful like this one. It just touches your soul. Back when musicians actually used musical instruments

She does not need to be half naked, her voice is all that is needed, beautiful.

I was born in 1968. I grew up with talented songtresss. This was in Northern California. Latino Male and I like Spanish Language Music and Soul ( Bilingual). I remember her music blazing from cars and radios in the 1980's. She was big talent many years ago!

Denise sings like a bird. So effortlessly ...

May your dad rest in peace. Denise Williams and Anita Baker are two of the best songbirds there EVER were. Best wishes to you and yours.

Rest in Power to Fred & Maurice White of Earth Wing & Fire and everyone who made Deniece’s debut album what it was and remains to be... TIMELESS! Just think, this album was released in August 1976. I ♥️ you Neicy

First time listening. Crying. 🥲💕

The voice of an angel.

Take me back to the 70’s please… When I was “FREE”❤️♥️ What an angelic voice 🥰♥️♥️ Love it!!! 🥰❤️

I never get tired of hearing this song

2024 and I’m still here ❤

I saw her live in Japan at the NCO Club (the lineup was Adina Howard, Deniece Williams, and Silk) in Misawa, Japan back in 2001 while I was in the military. She sung this song, which is one of my all time favorite songs ever, and during the song she took a glimpse at me with a smile, and I died. I'll never forget that day for as long as I live.

When I was at my worst, " Niecy " kept me going ! I now live in NYC , and living my best life !

Still listening in 2023! I was just a kid when this song came out. I remember thinking I can't wait to be grown whenever I heard this song... THIS was that "grown-up" song for me!! ❤

The musicians on this cut are none other than 🌍🌍🌍 + 🌬🌬🌬 + 🔥🔥🔥

Her voice is pure diamond!!!

2018 who still jaming to this classic 👌👌👍👍

Who else is still listening in 2020!!

Wow... my mom also passed in that year. 2020 and both of us loved to here Deniece Williams records, especially this one. I'm 65 now and your father and I was in high school together and one thing your father always had, he always had good taste in talent. "GOD BLESS YOU YOUNG LADY"

@1:20 That INTRO is *everything*

Still Listening in jan 2021,..Still Magical,...real music has soul and is timeless.

Co-produced by Maurice White, bass by Verdine White. And her amazing voice! Win, win! 💜💜💜

One of the dopest songs ever!!

It sounds so good, it brings tears to my eyes..... Nothing can top the music of the 70's...

Beautiful cut. I wish more people made music like this today! Seriously!!!!

This song is like my anthem. Being free and being me.

I'm 64 and I spent years listening to this album. Some reason tonight, she came into my mind. I love "free". I'm so sorry for this is a great loss. See you in heaven Denise❤❤❤

Whenever I start feeling smothered... I run to this song.. I'm such a FREE spirit.....

I’ve loved this song since I was 14. My father played this song in his car, and I fell in love with this song at that moment. from japan 🇯🇵

It’s now 2022 and I know everyone is still jamming to this beautiful song❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

As a youth I played this song for my mom on the 45 turntable. Moms, you broke the mold. I know you smiling from heaven. RIP babe

NIECY"S VOICE IS SWEETER THAN HONEY....SUCH A GRACEFUL TALENT

So good to be Free Thank You Lord Jesus 🙌🙏

This beat is so damn cold. This song is epic

Her voice is incredible

My grandma who I loved dearly passed away this week and this song makes me feel like she’s telling me that she is fine

Her voice is everything. She was one of the ones who could hang w/ Minnie Riperton. Back then, there were no excuses about climate changes, government sabotage, etcetera like these other singers have. This is always gon be my jam. Nothing like some 70's soul.

This song is freeing my soul... Masterpiece!!

This song is by far the most beautiful feeling in love..bèing in love..yearning for loyal love I've ever heard..her gift for words..singing is beyond comprehension!!💎🔥💯♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

I can't say it enough : I AM SO PROUD 2 BE A CHILD OF THE 70s!!!!

My god this is a record takes me back to when I was 17 I am 60 this year wonderful record ❤️

My father loved Denise Williams so much. He played this song and other songs by her . He passed on Valentine’s Day 2020. I was in office max last week to get a blow up picture of him for the funeral. As I sit waiting in there .. the worker played Denise Williams song “Free” and then another song by her right afterwards. I knew that was my Dad communicating to me that he is ok. I almost broke down in the store. What are the odds that out of all the songs the employee could have played off his phone, it would be her. We miss u dad. You were only 62 yrs old smh 🤎

HER VOCAL RANGE!!! WOW!! 😊😊 JUST WOW!!

Dope, dope, dope! Maurice White (EW&F) killed it on production with this song! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Her voice it just goes up into the stratosphere she is so amazing

Denise's voice is hypnotic! Amazing!

1976, Cleveland OH, 19 years old, my first love. I remember dancing around him whenever this song came on. I'm still here in September 2024.

Hello ! Good Morning ! I am Free today . In mind body and spirit ❤️ have a blessed day everyone

One of my favorite song by her besides black butterflies. I remember when she did this on soul train yes I’m old lol 51years young ,

Been liking this song since I was a little girl growing up in the 80’s my mom used to play all the time. As a teen in the 90’s listening to this on the Quiet Storm. Yasss I miss music like this.

I can't help but stroll down the comments and hit the LIKE BUTTON 😀

Whispering in his ear My magic potion for love Telling him I'm sincere And that there's nothing too good for us But I want to be free..free..free And I just got to be me, free, free Whispering in his ear My magic potion for love Telling him I'm sincere And that there's nothing too good for us But I want to be free, free, free And I just got to be me, yeah, me, me Teasing hands on his mind Give our night such mystery Happiness all the time Oh and how that night pleases me But I want to be free, free, free And I just got to be me, yeah, me, me I just got to be me, me, me Feeling you close to me Makes all my senses smile Let's not waste ecstasy 'Cause I'll only be here for a while I've got to be free, free, free, oh And I just got to be me, yeah, yeah, me, me, oh Free, free, free, oh, baby (I just got to be me) and I just wanna, I just wanna be me Free, free (I just got to be me) I just got to be me, me, whoa, free (I just got to be me) That's why we want to be free Free

I was too blessed to be a kid in the 70s with music like this. Masterpiece indeed

Is that an angel from heaven singing?

My six year old self is listening to this remembering riding the bus to Eastmont Mall in Oakland on a Saturday with my mom...How I miss the 70 an 80's... I just want to go back!!

S/o to all the late 80s early 90s babies that know REAL music!!! We the last of a dying breed!!

What a beautiful voice.

The sweet, airy,angelic voice of Niecy. ❤

Listening to this through headphones .... absolutely beautiful.

Who's listening in 2019. What a voice x

My mom and dad are both my angels now. My auntie my mother's younger sister sent this to me. ..she's all I have left of my mom and most like her in spirit and in truth. I have gratitude for her because I am most like my mom and Auntie Abby understands me. 🤍🕊️U got your wings🪽 mommy. You are finally free. It is well with my Soul.
