Wishing on a Star Tesa Williams

One of the rising stars of the Philly soul scene, the uniquely talented vocalist Tesa Williams has actually been making moves for quite some time. After years of lending her voice in a supporting role to artists such as Gerald Levert and Vesta Williams, Tesa has become a well-respected artist in her own right, commanding the front of the stage and wowing audiences with her beautiful phrasing and dynamic presence. Here she brings a fresh perspective to the classic "Wishing On A Star," a slow ballad written by former The Undisputed Truth member Billie Rae Calvin, and first recorded as a single by Rose Royce in 1977, that has since been recorded by many other artists including Jay-Z and Beyonce. The Philly soul vibe is strong, thanks to Society Hill Records head honcho Butch Ingram's impeccable production and expert backing from the Ingram Brothers band. .
