mm r., - by Tim Walter opyflohl Q 1982. TSI Syndicate Feature 7 I - Newly wed Niecy 's Most Embarrassing Moment IT "There I Was with mv dresser, running down the corridor. confides Denlece Williams, whose Thorn Bell-produced "It's Gonna Take a Miraclet has just become the biggest gop.and r&b hit of her career, "getting ready for what was going to become the most embarrassing moment of my entire Yitel" Niecy was in London, performing with Johnny Mathisor Prince Charles. Mathis became so excited that he missed cue' ing Williams, skipped two of his songs and proceeded with her introduction. V We had only seconds to get on stage and 1 was still in mv dressing room." explains Niecy of the 1978 in cident: ''Until now, I've never told anyone; only, my valet knew' ' , - Williams arrived on stage breathless "and never knew my hair piece was on backwards. I must have been setting a new ctulA tnr tha Rritich nntilir I oiwcc I' ater hnrlf ctaff. when I realized what had happened, I just died! 1 suppose 1 should be grateful that no onie seemed to notice; maybe it shows that sometimes we worry too much about little things. But luckily, -1 was able to fix my hair before meeting the Prince at a recep tion after the show." For Niecy,' the big success of her new Columbia LP "Niecy" has made life better than ever. !Tve just been asked to write some songs for Andy Williams," she glows. "That's a signal of my success, to be writing for, someone of his caliber," In August, she'll be appearing at the Sunsplash reg gae festival in Jamaica, then head Tot Europe and Japan before launching a U.S. tour in the Fall. Then, copying last year's calendar, she'll spend November in the studio. "I'm just trying to be in the will of God," she explains of her personal philosophy, "That's what works for me. Anytime -I've been Out of order with Him, then everything else has been chaos.' Being a single parent for eight years, managing that, ihere had to be a source of strength from somewhere. It's my belief that God was on my side." When you listen to the album, you'll discover that three of the songs have something; to do with the telephone, either waiting for the phone to ring or having trouble getting through to a lover. I asked Niecy if there was a reason. "Well,' I didn't realize it when I did the album, only after it came out." she admits, "but in fact, I'm a newlywed and tHUSC-aUUgS WCIC WIUICI1 laai yeal wucil I was uu lin. iuau aim 4 dating my husbahd-to-be. I guess the telephone was pretty im portant during that period." Is life hard. on the road? "I get bored and lonely a lot," she reveals, "and with my husband working and the boys (Kevin and Ken. aces 9 and 101 in school, it's not possible for them to be with me. So I spend much of my time reading. The boys will probably go with me to Europe and Japan this summer," . she adds. . Niecy says that other children carry her special interest, too. "I really respond to my fan mail," she says. "If someone , writes and asks me to come and lecture at their high school, I make an attempt to do it. I believe God put me in this position for a reason and I want to share the talents that I have." She nrttpc that he has started to make herself available for fund- raising benefits for orphanages and children's hospitals; "It's , sometning close to my neari. Having just come from an advance screening of Universale "EX", I asked if that was a movie that would appeal to her sons. VI know they want to see Rbcky III," she says, "but they're spending the Summer with their grandparents, I expect they'll worry their , grandmother until they see them both. They're big movie buffs." Niecy isn't into astrology, simply pointing to her Christian faith as all-encompassing, "but I just celebrated a June 3 bir thday, and people tell me. that means I have a split personality (Gemini). Sometimes I feel like five people. I don't like labels, though, I'd rather evaluate people as individuals after I get to know them." ' C Spielberg's incredible "E.T." grossed $34 million in the first ten days. . . .special effects buffs will be intrigued by the high gore content of John Carpenter's "The Thing" (amus ingly gross). . .did Polygram miss on Stephanie Mills' single "Last Night"? My test' pressing of her new LP shows "I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You" as possibly the best song she's ever recorded. The Casablanca labeled album will be in your stores Monday, July 12. . . .national touring company of "Sugar Babies short on entertainment value and why an all-white cast? Eddie Bracken & Mimi Hines are no match for tired burlesque.
