Info for Bustin' Out
Esther Williams' second album followed the formula of the first one, but met with very little success and did not even get released outside of the US. Its one and only single Yours And Yours Alone made a brief showing on the R&B charts at No. 90 , and that was it. It's a shame as it is another great album with tunes co-written by Williams herself and Greg Carmichael, Eddie Drennon and others. There was a gap of three years until she released a third album, Inside Of Me, on RCA Records which gave her a modest dance hit with the track I'll Be Your Pleasure.

Esther Williams
is an American soul singer who released three albums between 1976 and 1981, setting dance floors alight with “I’ll Be Your Pleasure” and “Last Night Changed It All (I Really Had a Ball).”
Esther Williams was born in Waukegan, Illinois. She attended Waukegan Township High School. Williams also attended the University of the District of Columbia and Washington Saturday College.
Williams established her professional singing career in Washington, D.C., after she won the Miss Black D.C. title. She toured Germany with the Miss Black America organization and appeared on national television and radio programs.
Williams sang on the Eddie Drennon & B.B.S. Unlimited album Collage in 1975 and shared the vocal credit with Dorothy Pritchett. She co-wrote “Do What You Gotta Do” with Drennon and keyboardist Norris Berry. Friends & Company Records signed Williams after Drennon heard her session vocals, including her work on “Let’s Do the Latin Hustle.” Drennon produced Williams on the 1976 debut album Let Me Show You.
This album contains no booklet.
