Crazy how we can look at these videos on a phone and be reminded of things in time. Seems like the artists and the universe conspire to write and sing our experiences. What's even crazier when this song came out - I was so much in love❤ with someone - A. Matthews Jackson -Ft. Washington Maryland. He worked with his family, who owned a construction company. We were young, didn't have any guidance, You know teach you and groom you how to build together. I had a LOT of criticism from MY family. My parents didn't like him bc he was a few years older than me. Regardless, we were together a long time, went through a lot but he took care of me, treated me like a lady. Today, he's a real estate mogul. At some point, we broke up, but years later, he still came around to see me out of the blue with a bunch of red roses.❤ Safe to say I had this music experience in love❤
I should have met my dream man back then...we could have just drove around day and night listening to r&b grooves.... just puts me in a mood ❤. Here I am 51 never married no kids
I’m another one looking for someone like you. I’m in Pittsburgh and I’m digging songs from my childhood. I’m here because I’ve just tracked down the oldie, Once Bitten, Twice Shy. For one too tres one ate 51 ate six
You can still have it. Looking at your photo, you're fine & stylish enough to get a mate. But just as you're going thru this 80's R&B ballad notice what the differences were and are from past generations of black music compared to now. Like Petey Pablo highlighted on an interview; we gotta put the love back into it. Back then it was about love. The current era; it's about sex & drama. Let that be the barometer when you analyze a mate that's worthy of settling down for the rest of your life with.
Everything about this was perfect...that track and how Vesta just glides over the leads and backgrounds, her cruising in her black Vette (her personal car), and just how GOOD she looks in this video
We haven't forgotten her, that will keep her legend and this incredible voice and beauty alive as much as Whitney, Anita (still with us thank God!), Phyllis or Aretha.
Chaka Khan was #Vesta’s mentor that’s why you hear a lot of Chaka isms in her style. Once Vesta did an entire UK magazine interview praising Chaka and how much her voice and the generous woman herself meant to her. #PennyFord / #PennyeFord is another Chaka protege who sounds a lot like CK. You may know her from the group SNAP though she had a solo album at 18 before that and another solo CD After leaving that group. Chaka hooked her up with SNAP. #MelisaMorgan is another Chaka protege who sounds a lot like CK. She has a song on a recent CD where she literally sings the praises of #ChakaKhan. It’s way deep, the love these singers have. Very sweet and amazing. ~K
she was so classy & sweet. i miss her so much! i wish i had gotten to spend more time with her again when i grew up. its funny how ppl come into your life for awhile and make a major impact. playing in her back yard is the reason i love flowers so much now. oh yeah & my big hair. lol! love & miss you vesta. wish the world knew like i do, just how much of a beautiful soul you had. Rip... 💔
I have not the right words to describe how beautiful this woman was, inside and outside. I was just a young teenager when I first saw her. I would close my eyes and, in my mind she was singing TOO ME 😂, and was then and i still am captivated by her beautiful face and voice. R.I.P. Sweet Angel 😇 ❤
In the 80's when i was a teen, this video and song is what made me fall in love with Corvettes in '97, around 27 years old, i bought my first vette, black on black, targa top All because of Vesta
When I first heard this song in college in Des Moines, Iowa. I got her voice mistaken with Chaka Khan coz they sounded so much alike. She was an absolute star ⭐️ Too bad she’s gone do soon 😢
Brings back good memories of being allowed to watch music videos on the weekends if all my homework, chores, etc. was done. I lived for those weekends! 😊❤️
So true Robert, this reminds me of Fort Valley State and Savannah State' Homecomings, in the late 80s, riding listening to Vesta, Anita Baker!! Good Memories!!!!
I luv the way she sings this song....the lyrics,everything...I replay this video about 100 times, all because of a beautiful lady name vesta. r.i.p. vesta Williams
Man if I could watch one week of Midnight Soul on BET. Just to see that nostalgic videos of yesteryear. I'm so grateful to have grown up with beautiful music and memories.
Man on man was that woman something else! I was 17 and still in high school when this came out and I too would wait all night waiting for for BET to play it. Such a gorgeous song and THAT VOICE. Vesta was stunning woman. R.I.P.
We really need artists like her in this day and time. I miss true singers that had real talent, that sang beautiful lyrics from the heart. RIP Beautiful Woman

That song, that period of time (the 80's), that voice and the beauty that she was (she is gone to soon.)... ICON, EPIC and MAJESTIC. I miss this beautiful woman. A Queen.
Damn this song makes me sad and happy sad because she was such a strong singer and vocalist beautiful talented voice. Sad because she absolutely did not get the recognition that she deserved just like so many other great talents that went to soon damn drugs May she continue to rest In Peaceful paradise Vesta Williams forever this song is so golden 🤎🤎🤎🤎🥲👍🏾🙏🏾
She has a voice that only God could gift to a human being with... and he definitely hold back with this gift he gave her...it’s as if It is literally a sound of total praise and reverence... sad how she passed...
She exposed the industry with an interview with Donnie Simpson. Apparently they found her dead she was making a come back . They found her dead in a hotel room Apparently drug overdose. They killed her for exposing them devils who control the biz. She is definitely missed

She so reminds me of my ex. As a matter of fact my ex and I were dating when this song came out. Rest in Heaven to both of them 🙏🏽

Midnight Soul on BET such good memories 😊❤❤
I feel sad listening to this song. She deserved so much more recognition for her talent and her beauty. Her singing is amazing. Gone too soon. RIH.
Don't be sad she's free now and she left a beautiful legacy she would not come back here if she could free from this place and all its troubles.
The fact that you remember her is pretty amazing. She is a Legend
I agree
We haven't forgotten her, that will keep her legend and this incredible voice and beauty alive as much as Whitney, Anita (still with us thank God!), Phyllis or Aretha.

The Goddess Vesta. Beautiful One...Thanks for sharing your lovely VOICE with us...RIP.
This song has no parallel. It still hurts to know that a woman so deeply beautiful, witty, smart and highly gifted went through such mental trauma.
I recall I had her tape and would rewind that song over and over, her voice was so powerful. Not at all like today's music. Miss you Vesta!!
What a tremendous vocal talent. #RIP Vesta
Damn Vesta ! 2:41 2:42. The tongue thing was sexy as fk ! Keep resting well beautiful soul !
