Showmanship @ it’s finest. ❤️ Deniece Williams. Truly not acknowledged enough for her contribution to classic, timeless music. Salute to this amazing “Black Butterfly “!
This video doesn't end with her falling and not getting back up. This video ends with a standing ovation after an incredible display of dignity and passion for the art itself.
I HAVE to celebrate this woman and this entire experience. Not only did she take a serious fall, but she got back up, sang that song IN ITS ORIGNAL KEY and tore that place up!!!!!!!! She is the REAL DEAL!!!!!! That's a true artist and entertainer in a world of folks hiding behind backing tracks and near naked background dancers. I SALUTE YOU DENIECE!!!!!!
OMG! Such Beauty, resilliance & concern for her audience. The show went on when she needed medical attention. God blessed her to carry on. Very much love to you Denice!
NOW, WHO? COULD PERFORM / EVANGELIZE SO BEAUTIFULLY / THEN GET BACK UP - ON POINT - SO QUIKLY; TO CONTINUE TO INSPIRE AND USE THE HOLY GIFT - GOD SPECIFICALLY GAVE TO HER ! 🙏💘Deniece Williams !!
This brought me to tears and reminded me of a time when I was really sick but felt the show must go on so I performed. In the middle of the song I left the front line and by the time I got to the back of the stage I passed out. I got myself together and returned shortly after to finish the show sitting down on the edge of the stage. I think about stars that have medical emergencies or even die on stage and how devastating it must be to the fans. That's my biggest fear. Awesome job Denise Williams, my beautiful Sistah Songbird Queen. You are Resilient and an Overcomer. Carry On!! ❤️☮️🎶👑🎉
My heart breaks every time I see this. But like the true performer that she is. She got back up. & who can laugh at a person for getting back up after they fall down. I'm also glad her sons were there for her. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This is my first-time seeing this video. I love Deniece Williams, I have been blessed by her music for years. Never knew this happened to her. This is what you call true showmanship. She got back up sang the hell outta that song!!! Luv u Niecy 💖💜😍
A true example of the problems with today's entertainers. In an era when we have people considering themselves "Stars" that can't perform without an auto tuner, electronic noise covering their mistakes, Or lip syncing . No wardrobe malfunctions, no excuses, no gimmicks, just pure talent and class, This lady with the blessed voice of an angel shows what being a star really means. Niecy, you are amazing and we love you! God Bless You
To show she was a trooper, she continued to showcase the gift the Lord Almighty blessed her to do! She still sounds extraordinary after all these years!
Me too .I knew she fall but hadn't seen it..made my heart jump..but thank God for his strength..cause could tell she was in pain..but sung pass her pain❤❤❤❤❤
Sometimes I think we forget how much our artists sacrifice for their public and their craft. This woman put on a great performance for her fans in this video. She has a beautiful talent, a beautiful heart, and a beautiful soul. And she indeed showed it in this performance.
Her son broke my heart when he started screaming "Mama, Mama!" I would have been just like him! Forget all that show biz crap. My mother is hurt and I'm running to the rescue!! God bless you Niecy!
She is simply unbelievable. Many young singers couldn’t even gotten back up. But she not only got up but she killed that song! Thank you so much for giving your all.
Resiliency is definitely a word to describe Deniece's response to falling off the stage. An amazing performer!!! In response to the persons comparing how she sounds now, as to how she sounded many years ago, do you realize that professional vocalists normally lose their vocal abilities and ranges as they age. Most true vocalists are wondering how she is still able to sing most of her songs from long ago. Put a young athlete with a senior athlete and have them compete. Disrespect is sometimes not realized until someone points it out or you experience it for yourself. God Bless!!!
I have always loved Denice Williams voice, I wanted to cry with her, I think the bright lights were blinding her eyes, as she walked out to the front of that stage.. OMG, but she gave the fans an amazing Finnish..
Astonishing..She's a true star. The pain I'm sure she was feeling.. God wrapped his arms around Sister Deniece..will and courage is what I see here.. I love you sister you're the best.💯❤❤❤❤❤
Talented, beautiful, classy and courageous. That performance brought me to tears. Loved Deniece since l was a little girl in the 70s. Thank you for sharing this video.👍🏾❤😍💚
Crying. Now that is the power and the heart of DENIECE WILLIAMS!!!! Lesson learned. What doesn't kill you will make you STRONGER!!! Raw emotions!!! WOW
My brother would kiss her albums. And I bought my first album of her, when I was stationed in Germany.(1984) I got it after going to see that movie Foot Loose.. I was so proud of her . Why, because she was Black and I connected with her as an Black American, full of Germans and friends in the audience that day.. But listening to Black Butter fly from that album, for the first time. I was lost for words.. Being across the waters at the time, that song gave me so much inspiration for what the hell I was doing , at such a young Age. I was only 18. Thank you Ms Denise.
john blac, she dont sound nowhere near as good as she used 2, but she old, she stil tried, n she fell so maybe she was embarressed a little plus she sang th song SILLY, AFTER THAT!!
@@woodjeannie2432 Of course she wouldn’t sound the way she did when she was younger in her 20’s and 30’s you idiot. The point is she has preserved her voice very well being that she’s been singing in the industry for 40 something plus years. She still sounds like her old self here and there
@@woodjeannie2432 We all know that's she's "old". Everyone is going to get old sooner or later ( even you).!Unless you unfortunately pass on or found the Fountain of Youth. Most singers who don't smoke,drink do drugs,etc. take care of their voices .. voice change somewhat because of age. Can't express it. That was a cruel thing to say.
being a good singer and going out of a stage and sounding good and not making mistakes is a billion times harder than being an actor in a controlled setting.
That is true strength and to be able to witness it on UA-cam is inspiring; being there live would have given me extra inspiration for two years or more.
OMG Sarah Tell it like it is AMEN!!! She is definitely a force to be reckoned with 4SURE!! This is what TRUE TALENTED sounds like 4REAL!!!! Real music with meaningful lyrics 4SURE!!! I will always cherished this beautiful classic as long as I live so grateful to have lived through this era of beautiful music this kind of music never goes out of style. Do you agree?? Still listenin how about March 02 2021 MEMORIES WOW!!!!
I'm in tears watching this this video she is amazing I just love everything about Denis Williams I have been singing her songs for as long as I can remember xoxoxo.
I love Niecy, always have and always will! She spoke on the fall incident on an interview, and how her sons came to her aid to pick her up, and I could hear them yell out mom!
What a show. That's the power of the Almighty when the devil (not giving him praise) attempt to stop a good thing. Amazing voice of a woman blessed created by the Lord. Witness and testament. Thanks Ms. Williams. Live on!! 2020.
There's a lesson for all of us here: Despite a serious tumble, never lose focus of the job on hand. Rock like you have no problems in this world. She could have easily aborted the show owing to a serious injury, but no! She performed and delivered a masterpiece. Salutations to her
Some of these newer "singers" would've canceled the rest of the show and gone on social media to rant and cry about their fall. Ms. Williams said, "not so", and went on to give the people what they came for. Queen tings...
God bless you wonderful lady!!!!! Amazing performance no matter the infortunate incident, that's enough reason to be loved, despiting the quality of singer that you are.
THE Most Honorable Denise Williams, The One and ONLY supercalifragilisticexpialidocious Guinness Book of World Record most memorable vocalist of all times...God's Truely Amazing Grace on this planet earth. Ms. Williams R💎CK!!
We need such extraordinary courage to beat COVID-19. This is a classic example of blocking everything else (including pounding pain )and focusing on the task at hand. Can she get some likes for the year 2021 for her courage....
Can’t NOTHING stop a Queen! Get your roses, Niecy!
Wow that brought tears to my eyes when she fell and Her son cried out Man that had Me thinking about My Mom God Bless Deniece Williams .
Flawless performance. That is passion.
She’s a warrior!! She kept it together ❤️❤️
F a c t s!!!

You can tell she came from a church background, the way she put her soul into that song. An absolute legend!

Often imitated; never duplicated. There are several great covers of this song on UA-cam, but I keep coming beck to Deniece Williams.
What an absolute pro! Love you Deniece!
She is simply unbelievable. Many young singers couldn’t even gotten back up. But she not only got up but she killed that song! Thank you so much for giving your all.
Poor Deniece. She was so gracious when she got up. I'm SHOCKED THAT she carried on with that performance.

I really love how concerned her son was for her.
This is beautiful !
A class act. You can tell she's in a lot of pain trying to get through the song but did it with grace...

What a trouper and she sang the hell out of this song which is my all time favorite by Ms Williams. God bless her always. Love you Denise.
Denise is a true performer. Thanks Denise for all of the beautiful music you have given us.
I got chills!!!! Amazing!!! To give that performance after falling!!! I bow down to greatness!!!!
How did she preserve her voice? Most singers with her range lose that power and tone . She kept it. That's astonishing.
john blac, she dont sound nowhere near as good as she used 2, but she old, she stil tried, n she fell so maybe she was embarressed a little plus she sang th song SILLY, AFTER THAT!!

Deniece you sing like what i think a angel woud sound like... Thankyou for all your beautiful songs over the years, your so inspirational.
That is an entertainer "GO NIECY".
Wow. That's so impressive to keep going after the fall, and she sounded great!
being a good singer and going out of a stage and sounding good and not making mistakes is a billion times harder than being an actor in a controlled setting.
I'm amazed that she was able to still sing. I would have been a mess! She's amazing.
Wow. True professional.
Chillllzzzz....that fall was shocking but her comeback was AMAZING🙏🙏🙏
Now that's Gangsta.. I know she was in extreme pain, however, she sanged right thru the pain.. much respect to her!
