You don't think you know Allee Willis, except you do.  Willis is best known for her songwriting, namely "I'll Be There For You" (the Friends theme song), along with "September" and "Boogie Wonderland" by Earth, Wind & Fire. 

Although this Grammy-winning writer's accomplishments are too extensive to list here, Willis most recently co-wrote the music for two musicals, Hot Feet, and Oprah Winfrey's The Color Purple

However, her talent doesn't stop there.  Also a successful visual artist, Willis is now combining her art with her music on a new project, Bubbles & Cheesecake

Teaming up with singer Holly Palmer (Gnarls Barkley/David Bowie/Dr. Dre), the duo has taken an innovative approach to the music industry model.  They are releasing singles from the new Bubbles & Cheesecake album before the album is even released. 

In addition, each song released has its own unique music video.  The first single, the rock-pop-funk-R&B infused "It's a Woman Thang," has racked up almost 900,000 views on YouTube and even had some response videos posted.  It is very unique and quite indescribable -- so check it out at www.bubblesandcheesecake.com.
