Who is Precious Wilson
Precious Wilson has one quality that stands out above the rest and that’s her determination to succeed. She is not a newcomer to the business or the charts. Precious was born in Spanish Town, Jamaica, where she lived until the age of seven, when her family moved to Britain.
Her first big break came with her band Eruption when they won an RCA Soul Search Contest in 1975. Whilst touring in West Germany they met Boney M’s manager/producer Frank Farian, which resulted in a recording contract with Hansa Records in Berlin.
In 1978 Eruption covered the Ann Peebles classic ‘I can’t stand the rain’, which was a big hit internationally. Precious Wilson’s lead vocals on ‘I can’t stand the rain’ grabbed the imagination of the world. It was soon to be followed by ‘One way ticket’, which had similar success internationally.
Precious went solo and made two hugely successful albums in Europe, ‘We are on the race track’ and ‘All coloured in love’. In the mid-eighties her single ‘I’ll be your friend’ underlined her appeal on the dance and soul circuit, selling extensively over a four month period. She followed up this success with the title track to the blockbuster movie ‘The Jewel of the Nile’.
In 1986 Precious Wilson became involved in the fight against drug abuse. An anti-drug disc was recorded at Abbey Road Studio: ‘It’s a live in world’. In 1987 she teamed up with producers Stock, Aitken and Waterman for one of the strongest disco recordings, ‘Only the strong survive’. Precious made her debut as an actress in 1990, in the musical ‘Blues in the night’. Along with Stephanie Lawrence, Miquel Brown and Ewen Cummins she was one of the principle characters.
Precious Wilson also appeared as a guest vocalist on the Techno Eccentrics album ‘Messiah’. Together they achieved a Top-20 single hit in the UK, with their version of the Donna Summer’s ‘I feel love’. Precious also co-wrote her second track on the ‘Messiah’ album, called ‘Peace and tranquility’.
Precious keeps working on new material and is continuing to establish her songwriting skills. Her superb vocal talent, coupled with her stylish performances will undoubtedly ensure that the new single will be the chart hit she deserves.
