Congratulations Tell Me and that McDonald’s commercial with Al Jarreau were my favorites! I love Vesta Williams she had such a strong voice reminds me of Phyllis Hyman❤️ R.I.P to them both!
Right? I actually lived that song that summer in '89 bc my exbf got married and I remember how much those lyrics resonated in my soul. No one but the Lord Himself knew just how torn up I was over that wedding, thinking that she would go on to have his babies and the life I thought he and I would've shared together. But God knew what I didn't know. Just a little over two years later, his marriage imploded and now his ex-wife and I are friends. He was not the man I thought he was ... the man I thought I knew and loved to the very core of my being ... never existed. In reality, all because of the Lord, I dodged a huge bullet!🤯
Here we go with ANOTHER one!!! Never knew too much about Vesta Williams but now thanks to the BEST storyteller in the game, I know ALL the facts now!!! Thanks for the new episode Celebrity Underrated & RIP Vesta Williams!!! 🕊🕊🕊
OMG thank you so much for this. I was arguing with a guy because he was speaking disparagingly on Vestas name and I wasn't having it. Love me some Vesta from day 1. Such a talented woman she was 😢
🕊️⚪🤍⚪ Thank you CU for doing your amazing bio on my favorite lady Vesta for eternity. I never got the opportunity to see her in concert. I love love love Vesta. 🕊️⚪🤍💔💋 Sleep In Heaven, Vesta. I love all of her songs. Beautiful on the inside and out. I pray that my CU family is staying safe and healthy. Vesta, was really underrated. Nobody promoted Vesta like she should have been. Love & miss you gorgeous, Vesta. 💔💋🤍🕊️😘 I just watched Posse recently.
Vesta was immediately loved. She just had IT. In my mind, she was my friend. I loved her personality! I adored her voice and music. She was a beautiful lady, no matter what size she was.” Special, Suddenly it’s magic and Sweet Sweet Love” were my favorite songs by her. Her and Whitney are my two favorite female singers. She didn’t get the recognition she deserved. Thanks for covering her. 🫶🏽
Listen fam I'm 24 when I was a kid I heard Ms Williams cover Rain and me an my older Sister been trying to find that song for yrs and you sparked the memory I appreciate you no doubt I wish I could hit the like button a 100 times 💪🏿💪🏿
You always have me reminiscing about my younger days. Vesta had that powerhouse vocals. I didn’t know about “Bruce Willis” that’s because you are so thorough when you present a story to us. I did remember Vesta passing when she did Unsung.
Thank you brother for doing a stand up job documenting a class act singer that I hold near and dear to my heart. Rest in peace my beautiful sister, Vesta Williams.
@@CelebrityUnderratedThank You for finally doing one on Vesta Williams! I asked years ago! Now I will appreciate if you do another one on Gary Coleman! The first video you did on him was seven something minutes! Before Different Strokes, Gary has being in a lot of Movies in the Late 70s & Early 80s!
Wow that's crazy. I didn't know Vesta was a comedian as well. She certainly was talented. Listen sir, we still need that Sylvester Celebrity Underrated episode. I been asking for at least 2 years!!. 😂
Dude!!!!! U read my mind my guy!! Her music had been HEAVY on my mind the last few days, & I was just listening to her music, telling my people how sexy Vesta Williams was! Dude, thank u for this!!! ✊🏾
Vesta Williams she was a powerful vocalist and an amazing actor.She was a backup singer for Chaka Khan and other various artists.My favourite song by her "once bitten twice shy".She will be missed but her legacy still lives on.
I remember Bruce Willis with Olivia Brown. Vesta did date Arsenio Hall. Vesta didn't get her just do because she did sound so much like Chaka Khan. "Sweet, Sweet Love," "Special" and "Once Bitten Twice Shy" were my favorites. I loved that McDonalds commercial she did with Al Jarreau. She could scat like nobody's business. Her death was SHOCKING to me because TVOne had been promoting her Unsung episode for weeks and she died before it aired. It was so sad. She was a remarkable talent.
I loved this lady ❤️. I wanted to sing like her soooo bad. I thought she was soooo beautiful. Her song on women in Brewsters Place is still one of my favs. RIP Ms Vesta
Vesta Williams was one Power House Vocalist!! Beautiful , gifted & talented… definitely underrated. It’s ashame how she never really got the recognition she deserved. One of my favorite albums of hers are “ Relationships “ & “Special “.
Vesta sings a song in the movie: Soul Man, the song is "It's Magic," she does a very good job. The movie stars: Rae Dawn Chong, C.T. Howell, James Earl Jones, etc.
I remember watching her Unsung episode and was shocked. I love her music. One of my favorite songs is I’ll Be Good To You on Najee’s album Tokyo Blue. She was definitely an underrated and unsung artist.
Vesta lived a tumultuous life, especially with her weight being focused upon as negative and frowned upon to the industry. Black women if big bones and full figured are often scorned because of this. Thank God for comedian Monique for advocating fervently for beautiful, full-figured females . Vesta was beautiful and super talented and anointed always even in her highest weight and despair. Health is very important for everyone, but superficial dynamics and trying to people please (especially record labels and magazines) are mentally and psychologically debilitating. So many black talented celebrities fall prey to this thing. Luther Vandross yo yo dieting wreak havoc on him and we lost him as well!! RIP Vesta , you will be forever loved and missed! --- Ms Zaundra Michelle McCoy
a very sad fact about her is that, she filmed a episode of unsung, she done a live performance, she went to her hotel room, and then she died the next day. now that is very sad. that's very similar to The Ultimate Warrior. he went to the WWE Hall of Fame, went to WrestleMania, went to WWE Raw, and then he died the next day. Damn 😢😢 the episode was dedicated to her memory BTW 😢
@@rjs1602 wait a minute. She filmed unsung on September 20, 2011 she finish filming unsung in one day. and then she done it's a live performance on 21, and then she passed away on the 22. TV one edit the footage along with her funeral footage added, and new interviews in post production. and the Episode aired on Jan 2, 2012.
Such a heavenly voice and timeless beauty. I still love her so much. We all know the Industry Machine push those up front they can control.Thank you for doing her story 🙌🏾🥰❤️
One of the most beautiful and one of the most talent piwerful vocals of all times! Sorry Vesta got so overlooked! Congradulations, Sweet Sweet love! Two of my favorites of hers! I saw her Unsung episode! She was very vocal about about the industry! She dealt with her weight and other stuff in that crazy music business! She told a lot of things about the dark side of the business! I miss her!! RIP! Voice of an Angel! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😮😮😮😮
I love me some Vesta Williams! She was such a talented singer and songwriter. She was also a backup singer for Chaka Khan back in the day. I love all of her songs. Every last one of them. She was so soulful. One of my favorite songs by Vesta Williams is Wherever Love Takes Me from the television movie blood vows The story of a mafia wife starring Joe Penny and Melissa Gilbert. Also Suddenly it's magic from the movie soundtrack Soul Man featuring C. Thomas Howell and Radon Chong. R.I.P #VestaWilliams ❤ #celebrityunderrated 💯👍🏽 #greatstoryteller 😊💯

I'm so glad you changed that creepy music in the background. This is much better, you're videos about the downfall of some of these very talented artists are really informative and great.👍🏼
Loved me some Vesta Williams! Her voice is second only to the great Chaka Khan.❤ I loved her so much and was saddened by her untimely passing. She was definitely slept on and I beleive suffered from the fact that although she had her own talent, she sounded too much like Chaka. And you know how the industry is. They will say there can only be one. But in my opinion there was room enough for both Vesta and The Incomparable Chaka Khan.
What a beautiful woman! Ms. Vesta was very underrated. She passed so young. RIP 🤍
Indeed, the entertainment industry is a dirty game
She was so beautiful
Vesta & Chaka really looked alike when they were young, they're definitely part of the same aboriginal tribe.
#🪶🪶🪶🪶
They were best friends as well ❤
No, they didn't look nothing alike, they were both just strong powerhouse vocals and beautiful. They both had almost similar styles
Posse is a classic movie!!! RIP to both Vesta and Tommy "Tiny" Lister Jr

Special... Ahh, just cannot get enough of that song to this day.
OMG me neither. Makes me feel good
Vesta was actually prettier when she was heavier. When she lost weight, somehow she lost some of her appeal.
She didn’t lose anything. But she gained health and probably a little length to her life when she shedded some pounds. Still beautiful either way.
@@-love-life3267 I agree
