"My Melody" is the 5th studio album by American singer Deniece Williams, released in March 1981 by ARC/Columbia Records. The album reached #13 on the Billboard Top Soul Albums chart. "My Melody" has been certified Gold in the US by the RIAA.

~Wikipedia

Deniece's heavenly soprano is as impressive as ever under the guidance of producer Thom Bell. The sweet Philly sound architect keeps Williams' expressive, high-range vocals under wraps, transforming her into a bel canto singer on eight delightful selections. Highlights include the R&B hit "Silly," "Strangers," and the lovely Stylistics-inflected "You're All That Matters." Bell departs from signature sound on the reggae-drenched "Suspicious," but Williams handles the jerk groove as well as she does the ethereal "Sweet Surrender."
