wills' first major break into the mainstream came in 1979 with her cover version of "gonna get along without ya now" (the song's release date was may 14, 1979) which started a string of dance hits. all three of the songs landed wills in the "guinness book of british hit singles". in 1982, her cover of "stormy weather" peaked at number 4 in the u.s. hot dance club play chart. later in 1983, the newly formed record label rva (robert viola ashmun), released a number of songs, including "wall", "space" and "if these walls could speak".
