Sondra "Blinky" Williams (born May 21, 1944)[1] is an American R&B and soul singer-songwriter, probably best known for singing the female lead on the theme for the 1970s TV series, Good Times.
However, they did not get the promotion that either the Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell or the Supremes-Temptations duets did, and success again eluded her when, after becoming a protégé of Sammy Davis Jr., his deal with the label fell through.
Blinky's version of "God Bless the Child" appears on the album Rock Gospel: The Key to the Kingdom and her recording of "'Tain't Nobody's Biz-ness if I Do" is on the soundtrack of Lady Sings The Blues, the Billie Holiday bio-pic starring Diana Ross.
Most of her solo work, save for a few singles, remained unreleased until 2019, when Real Gone Music released a double CD compilation of tracks from the Motown vaults.
On October 31, 2009, Blinky appeared as a backup singer, along with Sharon Jones, performing The Rolling Stones' "Exile on Main Street", as part of the rock band Phish's musical costume at their Festival 8, which was held at the Empire Polo Grounds in Indio, California, from October 30, 2009 through November 1, 2009.
