I remember me and V driving to this gig and her giving me my own private concert going over the songs she was going to sing and I kept say but wait sing this and then sing this LOL I miss my GOD Sister every day. Until we meet again my Angel
One year ago today, September 22, 2011, you left us, and I didn't ever think, i would stop crying. Time flies and heals all wounds. I miss my V. I love you always and forever.
You are 💯 % right! I can't believe you have ONE of the GREATEST proformers in front you! And I'm going just sitting there talking. Oh I SO WISH I was there
Love this performance so much but hate how this is the only live performance of this song I can find! Vesta was THAT girl and I just wanna see more of her singing this song ❤️🙌
Miss Vesta Williams, I pray you are at peace, but know this, you are so sorely missed. I miss your antics and facial expressions while performing. That Voice!! That Voice. God Bless my dear. We will always enjoy your music and performances. Thank You!!!!
Love Vesta!!! This is a different version of Sweet Sweet Love. This is a jam too. Anything by Vesta is GOLD. I would buy this tune too if it was produced. Everyone that legitimately has a high quality voice has their ups and downs, Whitney, Mariah, Elvis, etc.. I wish I could see more videos of her live. She truly was a star. Looked great, had a fun personality, and was a true entertainer. I just wish I would have seen her live. Gone way too soon. I remember first seeing her perform on Showtime at the Apollo. Hooked ever since. I like her way more than Chaka Khan. I know one of her sisters and I see how the humor is in there. Always big laughs....Much love to them all she is sorely missed.
West Angeles Church of God In Christ gave you a beautiful homegoing. I am so happy that you knew God. Rest my sweet angel...and we will see you soon. Bye for now.
Thank you so much, llovelyguy, for sharing this recent performance. I hate that this video ended so soon! Vesta had such a dynamic voice and personality. She just made me laugh when she was teasing the audience, just as I was *tearing* up. This reminded me to replace the sadness with a smile whenever I hear her songs and watch her videos. What a talented, vivacious and caring woman she was. God bless you, Vesta, and may He bless your family.
Vesta had a cocaine habit and major weight ups and downs, but had kicked coke years before her passing. A great talent, she was building her career back up from bars and clubs to festivals and multi act bills. RIP Ms. V
Kenneth Newnum Cocaine.... oh ok that makes sense because I watched her earlier interviews and she seemed very "animated" and toward the end she seemed more mellow and more her true self I could be wrong but it would explain her strange behavior in the past..
My heart is hurting so bad! I don't know how many times I've listened to this song this year alone. And now I will never hear her sing it live in person! Such a talented, funny, and graceful diva! Rest in peace!!!
addicted to this video....i didnt know her before unsung but I am mourning her now that I do...God Bless Vesta...you are in eternal rest with your Creator...love u
I love her me some mary vesta William s she can sing her throat out she the best I miss my angel her an my mom passed round same time an I listened to her Whitney an Etta James because my moma loved these ladies an they in heaven with her
@heavenleiblu So am . I did not want this to be true. What a classy, sassy, sexy, funny and talented woman she was. I always felt she never go the props she deserved but I was still a fan and followed her career. I loved her jazzy version of SWV's Rain. RIP Vesta!!
Now this is my favorite Vesta song. Thanks for posting this, very rare to hear her do this one live. Hearing her hit some of these notes takes me back to 1988-1989 when she was at her peak. Love this....thanks!!! M
@ llovelyguy thank you for posting this! interesting to look at the audience really feeling the song. . .the lady had to throw up her arm to testify! I love this song. I can't really explain how i feel inside, but when I first heard she was gone; I felt it in my gut. Very unwanted news. Love you Vesta. You always were and always will be a very beautiful woman with a lot going for you: An extraordinary artist; An enormous gift to my life & thousands of others. R.I.P. Beautiful!
She performed this in 2010 and in 2011 she would pass away. Just shocking. She looks so healthy hear. People have to get checkups on everything including their heart.

im so mystified about this woman, her many personalities, i think on dark side she succumbed like Teena Marie, Whitney, Phyllis..., she also mimicked Tina Turner and made fun of her...actually she looks a little like Tina..i saw Vesta in 89 in DC at Blues Alley, where we were hangin with Karyn White in audience and Roach from Cosby Show...ahh the DAYs past..
I saw Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes and Phyllis there too. Blues Alley was so much fun in the late 80s 90s. We may have been in the audience together. #DCgirl
This lady could blow anyone off stage. She had a real gift.
Yes lord!😀
She had so much swag and chrisma, and that voice 😍
I remember me and V driving to this gig and her giving me my own private concert going over the songs she was going to sing and I kept say but wait sing this and then sing this LOL I miss my GOD Sister every day. Until we meet again my Angel

(1/4/23) Revisiting & still want to say, "GO, VESTA!!!" Still missing you.....
Vesta had a cocaine habit and major weight ups and downs, but had kicked coke years before her passing. A great talent, she was building her career back up from bars and clubs to festivals and multi act bills. RIP Ms. V
Kenneth Newnum
Cocaine.... oh ok that makes sense because I watched her earlier interviews and she seemed very "animated" and toward the end she seemed more mellow and more her true self I could be wrong but it would explain her strange behavior in the past..
@@tvgebt7869 If you saw the UNSUNG episode, she mentions about the habit. We still love her anyway.
how she die?
@@Keke-dg6qk I believe overdose on painpills
@@MsMaxinejoy nope that's not true ... she passed away from an enlarged heart condition! . Please do research first ?! THANK U !
For all of those who judged her, Vesta died of hypertension and heart disease. So now leave my baby alone so she can rest in peace.
but she was getting healthy
The title on here is wrong,it's called Sweet Sweet Love.......Sweet Love is by Anita Baker ijs. Miss you Vesta RIP.
A beautiful woman with an amazing voice! R.I.P VESTA WILLIAMS! you will be missed lady!!!!

One my faves by Vesta, another one is, "Tell Me".
This song, very special to me, came out in '88, when I was coming out of some serious darkness. Vesta, Vesta, Vesta... oh, girl....
gone but not forgotten !!!
Gone but I will never forget you. R.I.P. Vesta I had the pleasure to perform with her while at Bethune Cookman.
I agree. This woman was bad to the bone. So much soul
Damn I miss Vesta😢
She seems to at home on stage. She was so beautiful big or small, I’m so sorry about her personal life. I had such a crush on her
Same!
When she says that line at 3:29! "I love you yes I do." That makes me wanna.. To the woman that I'm in love with..
I just heard wow she will be missed. RIP Vesta.
Now this is my favorite Vesta song. Thanks for posting this, very rare to hear her do this one live. Hearing her hit some of these notes takes me back to 1988-1989 when she was at her peak. Love this....thanks!!!

@heavenleiblu
exactly
I love this song but this version is too up tempo. I prefer the quiet storm video version.
Agreed
Bricktown Washington but she still sung that song.
Where are the back up singers
I love this song!!!! Very underrated....Do you have anything of her singing "Special" -3 That was MY FAVORITE song by her :)
@llovelyguy is this in Los Angeles???
how did she died
Dam singing sister....
im so mystified about this woman, her many personalities, i think on dark side she succumbed like Teena Marie, Whitney, Phyllis..., she also mimicked Tina Turner and made fun of her...actually she looks a little like Tina..i saw Vesta in 89 in DC at Blues Alley, where we were hangin with Karyn White in audience and Roach from Cosby Show...ahh the DAYs past..
Edo Fox me too
as I said in my face book post.i was wandering what the said or did to get herself KILLED?!!
I saw Harold Melvin and the Bluenotes and Phyllis there too. Blues Alley was so much fun in the late 80s 90s. We may have been in the audience together.
#DCgirl
