Let's Hear It For The Boy

Deniece Williams

The title track gained significant attention as part of the Footloose soundtrack. Deniece Williams utilizes her soaring vocal ability to bridge the distance between her gospel background and the era's pop production.

George Duke handled the production, ensuring the synthesizers maintained a warm presence rather than feeling mechanical. The record serves as an example of the neon-soaked, upbeat R&B that characterized the mid-eighties.
