LOS ANGELES (Warner Music) - In the world of popular music, there are few voices and even fewer overall talents that can compare to Vanessa Williams. On February 11th, 2005, The Whiteweld Foundation presents Vanessa Williams at Carnegie Hall, in conjunction with the release of her forthcoming album Everlasting Love, a romantic collection of favorite love songs from the 1970's including hits from such artists as Stevie Wonder, The Isley Brothers, Jackson Five and more. The Valentine's Weekend concert, the latest in The Whiteweld Foundation Concert Series, will raise funds for the humanitarian/aid organization, AmeriCares, with funds dedicated to the survivors of the recent tsunami tragedy. Citizens Community Bank of Ridgewood, New Jersey, is a co-sponsor of the event.

Accompanying Ms. Williams for this one-night-only performance will be Rob Mathes, her longtime Musical Director.

Vanessa Williams has made a name for herself in music, theatre, film and television. Her career highlights include three Grammy nominations for her very first album, "The Right Stuff" in 1988; the single "Save the Best for Last," from her second album, which dominated the charts for weeks; and her performance of "Colors of the Wind," the theme from the animated motion picture Pocohontas, which won a Academy Award, Golden Globe Award, and Grammy Award for Best Song in a Motion Picture. Musically she continues to grow and explore; prior to her new album, Everlasting Love, her last two releases were a Greatest Hits collection and the holiday-themed Silver and Gold.

Her talents have taken her into feature films (Soul Food, Shaft, and Johnson Family Vacation among them), many made-for-tv movies, her own Christmas tv special, and stage appearances to great acclaim. In 1994 she took over the lead in the Broadway musical Kiss of the Spider Woman, a role originated by the legendary Chita Rivera.

Vanessa also received a Tony nomination for her work in the recent revival of Into the Woods, and notably sang the title role in Oscar Hammerstein's Carmen Jones at the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Just two months ago her magical voice was back on Broadway for a concert series at the famed Palace Theatre.

Vanessa Williams has been honored with two NAACP Image Awards, nine Grammy Award nominations and a number of New York Music Awards, and her career continues to grow along with her large and adoring fan base.

Everlasting Love is scheduled for release January 25th on Lava Records, a division of the Warner Music Group.
