Alicia Myers (born November 20, 1957) is an American R&B musician. Beginning her music career with the band Al Hudson & the Soul Partners, who later evolved into One Way, Myers went on to a moderately successful solo career in the early 1980s, scoring hits such as “I Want to Thank You,” “Don’t Stop What You’re Doin’,” and “You Get the Best From Me (Say, Say, Say).”
In 1978, she departed her hometown to start her music career in Los Angeles, California, with Al Hudson & the Soul Partners. With Myers in the lineup, they released the album Happy Feet as Al Hudson and the Partners in 1979; this record includes the R&B hit “You Can Do It,” co-penned by Myers and featuring her on lead vocals, which was a big club/disco hit. Soon thereafter, the group changed their name to One Way featuring Al Hudson and, eventually, simply One Way.
In 1990, the singer Harmony featured a cover of Myers’ song “I Want to Thank You” on her 1990 album Let There Be Harmony. The following year, Mariah Carey sampled the same Myers tune on the song “Make It Happen” from her 1991 album Emotions, while Father MC sampled the song “Close to You” with background vocals by Kenny Greene of Intro on his 1992 album of the same name. Several years later, “I Want to Thank You” was again sampled by E-40 in his song “I Wanna Thank You” featuring Suga-T, taken from his 1996 album Tha Hall of Game. Also, Busta Rhymes and Q-Tip sampled the song for Busta’s “Thank You” in 2013. The song “If You Play Your Card’s Right” from her debut album is covered often by several artist since its release; most recently by Syleena Johnson on her second album Chapter 2: The Voice.
