It's Showtime at the Apollo - Alyson Williams "Just Call My Name" (1992) 

There's not too many singers that sing live and actually sound like their records ..this was simply amazing, I love this song! 💜

This powerhouse vocalist does not get the recognition she deserves. Give this lady her flowers.

Just imagine what she’ll do with a gospel song! Great performance

I love me some Alyson Williams. Another one whose career should have blown up. Her vocals are second to none ❤❤❤❤

First time ever seeing this clip. This performance was everything. She deserved so many more accolades and hits ...

We had/have so many serious R&B/Soul Queens especially from this era. Wow!

Such an underrated singer!!!!! Her voice is amazing...annoited❤❤❤❤

When Harlem WAS HARLEM❤ FYI she hosts a radio program in NY

I see what Kurtis Blow seen in her Talented Awesome Lady from NYC! She’s hasn’t gotten enough recognition for her Music! I Always Loved this Song! Thank you very much!

Now this is a classic

My God, this takes me right back to when she came to the UK in 1989 and blew the roof off Hammersmith! She was mad sensational! Love Alyson!!!

Sang it Allyson !!! She was so underrated

damn she killed it!!!🙏👍

Wow! She can sing her behind off. She has so much soul and passion. I love this song so much! She sounds so much like Phyllis Hyman. 💖💖

yes lawdd what a time to be alive.

I remember watching this when it aired and being just in awe. Alyson was so underrated back then. Right along with Vesta Williams, Regina Belle, and Angela Winbush, they all were my favorite female divas of the 80's and 90's. Fast-forward to 2024, I believe I can count the number of truly talented singers on one hand. It just seems music executives/companies are out to make a quick dollar off of anything these days whether you can carry a tune or not.

This should have well over a million views 👁️👁️ Oh I forgot no Auto Tune like today's so called singers. 😱

She back with a new Album YAY!!! Working with Najee, Norman Connors Michael Henderson Starship u old school people know just what I am taking about!!! Luv it

I remember this like yesterday 😍!! My FAVORITE PERFORMANCE ON THE SHOW EVER!!!

Hands down that is one of the best ever live performances I've ever seen.. What a voice. What a star. The kick off the shoes is ICONIC 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love Allison and her voice she is a powerhouse. I love you my sister I'm giving you your flowers 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹💯

I haven't heard this song in years.l didn't realize it was so popular thanks to social media. She can really carry a song

🔥🔥🔥Alyson Williams was fire.She song the h3$$ out of thiat song.❤️❤️❤️This performance ..🔥🔥❤️❤️

OK, NOW, THIS IS HOW YOU MAKE THE MOST OUT OF ONE song, DAAAAAAAAYUM!!!!👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💗

I met her and number of years ago and told her that this was my all time favorite performance.

Such a strong powerful voice 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Bravo 👏 🙌 ✨️ 👌 😍

My favorite song ❤ so happy I found this performance

I saw this the night it aired… I’ve been looking for it SINCE THEN!!! Thank You😌

Classic performance!!!!

You kill this jam

She's gorgeous i wish i were grown then

Wow, God blessed her with the gift of voice to bless others....us!

This is a master piece

She know’s she can sing❤

Definitely One of The Classics From That Era .... When We Had Strong Cultral R&B Artist That Gave it Their Awll in Their Gifts and Talents to Bring Real Spiritually Felt Music to Life That Would Last a Lifetime ! [ seriously ] there is a Dire Need for This Soulful Music Today ... 🙏🏾 .. Begrudgingly, not to take away the Rare Talents of Many of Our R&B Artist/ Neo-Soul Icons of This Era ... Which I feel, That Most of Them can Really Bring this Breed of Music Back to Life if They Wanted to . However, my Era, 70s ..80s...90s ..Music Will Never Be Outdone ! EVER !!! AMAZING PERFORMANCE !! in 2023 .. Still Loving It 🔥🔥🔥🔥🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾💯💯💯

Hope you enjoy! 💜⭐ Part 1: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-whfWMbwIsRI.html Part 2: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mZsRp8EA4G8.html

🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

A SANGER okay

Sangers.....

Ok so my question is. Where did the shoes go when she kicked them off. Just an innocent question. 🙂

Back when female R&b artists were divas, not thots. I miss those days.

They just don’t sing like this no mo and it’s a shame too!!

some these chicks that are called singers can't sing like this. Most of the singers tiday are mediocre, and are popular because of their fake looks. I miss the real queens of R&B.
