Visiting the Deniece Williams “Mural” on Broadway in Gary, Indiana - Summer of 2025

Honoring a hometown legend! A beautiful mural is going up at 25th & Broadway to celebrate the incredible Deniece Williams — the Grammy-winning artist whose soaring four-octave voice took her from local church choirs to international stardom. Born and raised in Gary, Deniece began singing in the Church of God in Christ choir before joining Stevie Wonder’s Wonderlove and launching a solo career that gave us timeless hits like “Free,” “Let’s Hear It for the Boy,” and “Too Much, Too Little, Too Late.” She’s a pioneer in R&B, gospel, and soul — and now, her legacy will be painted into the heart of the city that shaped her.
