[Wolf-man jack]

The world is small they say. It’s all about connections and signs WYOU understand. Play throws out a Taj Mahal song with the Wolf, this Wolf discovers a song by Taj named after my daughter, and the good doctor had the pleasure to see the Taj at one of the finest Blues club in the world. In 1979 I bought a album from a record store in Newport News, Virginia during my Disco DJ days. That same night my friend who was a limo driver told me he was driving the artists from that same album around town for David’s mothers funeral. I gave him the album cover of Chanson, David Williams and James Jamerson Jr. autographed it for me. The following year I worked as a helper delivering been and met my co-worker the brother of David. That same year I was invited To the 1979 Disco Forum by Ariola Record s Rep. There I Met Dan Hartman and Linda Greeneof Peaches And Herb. Dan was in a band with the DJ that I replaced at the club in Newport News and Linda was a band member of a band my friend still performs and owns the trademark of the Rhondells (Bill Deal). After the forum at the Waldorf-Astoria, I was invited to the Ariola party at the Copacabana where I Met David Williams, James Jamerson Jr, and Ami Stewart (Knock On Wood). Coincidence or synchronicity? There is a reason we were all drawn to this stock and forum. Not by chance you understand. Good things are around the corner just “Don’t Hold Back”. Thanks for the TJ tune Dr. J.. Wolfie ahooooooo

Career
Edit

As a native of Newport News, Virginia, Williams was at a young age influenced by Jazz artistes such as Kenny Burrell and Wes Montgomery. He later started up his professional music career with the Dells. This career path was halted when he went on to serve in the Vietnam War. Upon his return in 1972 he moved to Los Angeles to reunite with the Dells. Williams also worked with the Temptations at that point. He thereafter established, with bassist James Jamerson II, an R&B group known as Chanson. Chanson went on to release the 1978 single ‘Don’t Hold Back’ which rose to 21, 11 and 8 upon the Hot 100, Dance Club and Hot R&B Songs charts respectively.[1][3][4][5][6]

Steadily growing success didn't begin until he was brought to Michael Jackson's attention by Everett "Blood" Hollins. Upon hearing Chanson on the radio, a group Blood brought to the attention of Mark Kreiner, for 1979's Off the Wall album. He was also featured on every song but one (second only to Tito Jackson) for the Jackson's' 1980 Triumph album; and played on the Jackson's concert tour that resulted in their 1981 The Jackson's Live! album. Mark Kreiner was called to New York by Tom Cossie when "Blood" was shopping a record deal for "CHIC". Cossie was VP for Buddah Records and they were broke, So Cossie got Kreiner to guarantee the Money, and "Blood" asked David, "did he want a record Deal. The rest was history.

David Williams was a popular session guitarist on other albums for many notable recording artists. He was hired to play by The Pointer Sisters (1980), Peter Allen (1980), Aretha Franklin (1980) and the Four Tops (1981). In 1982, he was used once again on Michael Jackson's Thriller album, where his signature funky strumming and a minimalist solo famously anchor "Billie Jean". Williams also performed on Jackson's Bad album (1987).

After the success of these projects Williams became one of the most in-demand pop music union session guitarists for the next decade, recording with Madonna, Julio Iglesias, George Benson, the Manhattan Transfer, Michael McDonald, Melissa Manchester, the Temptations, Stevie Nicks, Rod Stewart, Dionne Warwick, Shalamar, Go West, ABC, Boz Scaggs, Karen Carpenter, Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Julian Lennon, Bryan Ferry, Paul McCartney, Johnny Mathis, Del Shannon, Chaka Khan, Paul Hardcastle, Kenny Loggins, Steve Perry, Lionel Richie, Jessica Simpson, Diana Ross, the Crusaders, Andraé Crouch, Eddie Murphy, Herbie Hancock, Peter Cetera, Whitney Houston, Monkey Business and more.

Though he played on a number of tours with Michael Jackson, Madonna and others, Williams remained a behind-the-scenes union session player. Williams died of cardiac arrest on March 6, 2009, in Hampton, Virginia at age 58, 3 months before Jackson's death also from cardiac arres
