Man, she was so sexy.When she lost weight she looked great but I always thought she looked better with the little extra cushion.Maybe I'm in the minority but that's just me.RIP Ms Vesta..... You are sorely missed.
I don't think you're the minority, Bruh. We all crushed on Thick Vesta for sure! She did look great thinner but she looked BETTER in her all her thickness. I'm having flashbacks as we speak...LOL.
VESTA is a huge loss to the world ,as a world class singer,as a freind ill miss her ! nobbody could belt out an ENTERTAIN DANCE ,SEXY DRESSER just all around total pkg,, R I P BLESS YOU VESSIE MISS YOU BOO
Mary Vesta Williams (December 1, 1957 - September 22, 2011) was an American singer-songwriter, who performed across genres such as pop, jazz, adult contemporary and R&B. Originally credited as Vesta Williams, she was simply known as Vesta beginning in the 1990s. She was known for her four-octave vocal range.
this song right here...brings tears everytime..she was.one of a kind..but can we also give a shoutout to the man blowing that saxophone? goodness..👏👏👏👏👏
Arsinio Hall that lucky mutherf$$%, kissed the lips of one of my most favorite Singers, love you Vesta', was so glad to be apart of your era and energy, experiencing your music life at its peak, buying your records and waiting to her your latest release on radio, it was magical!
I love this woman. When I feel low I come back to this video and the joy in her voice and in her spirit always lifts me up and I get such good chuckles. She may not have been as big as some other divas but she was a beautiful human being. Thankful for the time we had her here!
This song always and I mean always send chills through my body, and it makes me so sad now whenever I listen. She was a rare gem. May her light always shine!
My favorite artist....I can listen to her all day. I was having lunch and a radio personality she said, you know you look like Vesta Williams. She said you don't know who that is do you? In my 20's at the time , I didn't . I looked Vesta up and I have been hooked ever since. I didn't know at the time the radio lady was giving me a compliment because Vesta is gorgeous! RIP my love.
😲👉🤩INCREDIBLE!!! HOW SHE JUST SANG MY DRED LOCS OFF MY HEAD! LMAO..THIS WOMAN WAS..ONE OF A KIND A MASTER VOCALIST..A SINGERS SINGER..I'M IN LOVE WITH VESTA WILLIAMS MUSIC🎵 NOW❤️💯🌹👈😌
I love her!! She is so raw and uncensored!! If we were sista girlfriends, I know we would've have been a hot mess between the two of us, cuz I'll say anything, anywhere, @ anytime just like her. On another note, I thought she caught the Holy Ghost @ 3:34!! She has such stage presence. She walks out on stage like she knows she's the star she is!! OWN it, Girl!!
I miss her voice and music so much,and yes she did sing backup for Chaka Khan and filled in alot for her.Still listening in 2022,Cleo if i had to change the world i would to keep you💖💖
It really bothers me now to see and hear performances like this by Vesta Williams (RIP), especially now that she has passed away. I saw the Unsung episode she did and it made me feel very sad to hear her put herself down about her weight when they asked her about the video treatments/concepts on some of her hits, like Do Ya. Do Ya and that video are some of my all-time favorites by any Artist, and I remember when I first saw it how it made me feel sexier as a Full-Figured Woman and/Artist. And to be honest, I am not sure anybody even cared if she appeared naked because Her Voice was E-V-E-R-Y-T-H-I-N-G. I hope and pray that she found peace with herself before she passed away but if not, she is surely in a better place now:)
I loveeeeeeeee YOU Vesta ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ ❤ I Miss YOU...Your Soul, Spirit, Singing, VOICE and ENERGY. I cried a whole week when I heard this Angel passed away 😢 😢 😢 😢
Just here for my Vesta fix....she goes well with red wine ...This performance was live and this is how I know she rarely opened a show because no one would want to go on after her....if she was still here in the physical I know she would have a podcast/ TH-cam channel with a plethora of advice for us ladies... and I would be a subscriber.
I saw Vesta live with Rachelle Ferrell, and she sounded just like her Records! Even today her vocals would be in a League of their own! I Still Miss Her😑 The Beautiful Vesta was so SPECIAL!💜
The only difference I see between these two great women is: Vesta is gone and Chaka is still here. When Chaka transition from this life, these two great women will be forever remembered and loved by the music world and their fans.
I ABSOLUTELY LOV LOVE Ms Vesta. Vesta was AMAZING, she is missed so very much. The weight thing that the record people put her though was a ABSOLUTE crime. This women was one of the most BEAUTIFUL women in the business. She was poetry in motion in everyway. Amazing talent. Thank you.
Vesta was so underrated I love her songs.She was more talented than many of the singers who were more known but being more known doesnt mean being a better singer.....
Vesta Special one of the most beautiful singers ever RIP STILL LISTENING IN 2024
Vesta is missed to this day. She was so vivacious and killer funny.
I have this on my music list ☺️. I love this lady's voice. Such a beautiful woman. RIP Mary "Vesta" Williams . You are so missed
Shame on all the ones put a thumbs down 👎....five stars Vesta

She was absolutely gorgeous
Beautiful and Special. This is my favorite Vesta song. I miss how genuine she was.
