JUST LIKE DREAMIN'

Hailing from the City of Brotherly Love, Terri Wells first came to prominence as a session singer for Philadelphia International Records in the mid-1970s following the breakup of her group City Limits. Wells soon began recording and touring as a featured vocalist with artists such as Lou Rawls, M.F.S.B., Leon Huff, Jean Carne and Dexter Wansel. In 1979, she joined the band of Roy Ayers and eventually sang lead on Turn Me Loose and co-wrote the track Lets Stay Together from his 1982 album Feeling Good. Recruited by staff producer Nick Martinelli, Terri signed as a solo act with the Philly World Records in 1983 and released her one and only full length offering Just Like Dreamin. The album features the singles You Make It Heaven and Ill Be Around which both charted in the United Kingdom. To this day, her sensational debut remains a classic example of the soulful Philly sound of the early 1980s.
