    ***"NIECY" TRIVIA TIME!!!*** ....It's a MIRACLE...that Empress FINALLY hit this One! (3:48)
    - ...Oh, it's gonna be a JOY to give trivia on THIS! ....Deniece worked with LEGENDARY Producer Thom Bell on her 1982 "Niecy" Album, and heard this tune, a cover of the Royalettes 1965 tune, on her Car Radio, on her way to the Studio.....
    - .....when she got there, she was about to suggest this cover....when Thom said, ....Hey, Niecy, do you know the Song, "It's Gonna Take A Miracle"!? ....I think we ought to do a...' ...ba-BOOM!! ...they recorded it in ONE take, and it was a MONSTROUS hit! ...H-U-G-E!
    - ....It hit #1 R&B (for 2 weeks), and hit #10 Pop, Summer 1982, for a MONTH AND A HALF (6 weeks)....It became a "Quiet Storm" CLASSIC, and brought Thom Bell into 80's popularity....and the Music Video was One of the first 'Big Budget' Music Videos for an R&B artist, with the 'Double Denieces' & the jumbrotron graphics...(1:02)
    ...even though it was filmed on a cheap Rainy Day in NYC! ...ha-HAAA!! *P.S.* ...the 'spoken intro' is ONLY in the 'Video version', it is NOT on the Album ...Empress!? ...this tune was BIG..... ; )

    You are correct about 60s vibe - first came out in 1965, but this version was a much bigger hit and came out in 1982

    "It's Gonna Take A Miracle" by Nicey Williams was played quite often when it was released in 1976.
    When you're listening to beautiful music you can't help but to show it, Empress.
    And the manner in which you express your joy is 'priceless'.
    Keep up your video excellence, Empress.

    Empress was so shook by Niecy's ad-libs that she knocked the camera off center 🙌 One of my favorite R&B songs of all time. I'll listen to this one along with Dionne's Walk on By when I want to bring out some feels but not full-on ugly cry 🔥

    This song was initially intended for Little Anthony and the imperials (why do fools fall in love), but ended up being recorded by the female RnB group The Royalettes in the 60’s. There were a couple of notable covers, but Neicy’s cover was the most successful version of the song ever recorded.
    When talking about some of the trials she faced in the industry, Patti Labelle, said she was dismayed that the same year Labelle released their debut album, they were relegated to singing background on Laura Nyro’s covers album “It’s gonna take a miracle.” When recording, Patti, thought it was going to be a duet or feature and given that the group had already established itself in the industry, they expected nothing less. She said Laura Nyro was incredibly gracious and kind but Patti hated that Labelle’s management didn’t ensure that they got the billing they deserved. The Laura Nyro/Labelle version of this song did not chart but it was critically acclaimed.
    Neicy had two number one hits “Let’s hear it for the boy” and “Too much, too little, too late” with Johnny Mathis. In the 80’s there was an incredibly popular TV show with Michael J Fox called Family Ties. The very catchy theme song “Without Us” was sung by Neicy and Johnny Mathis. Most people don’t realize it’s also a full version song and not just short theme music. It’s worth a listen for historic and nostalgia purposes.
    One of my all time favorite reactions from you, Empress, is “Free” by Neicy. You always seem to forget that song when recounting the Neicy songs you like or reacted to. 😮
