This is a old classic jazz standard that she does with great grace and class! she could have been one of the great Jazz divas if she was born in a different era!
When she puts those sensual "yeahs" at the end of some of her songs she never goes wrong. I have loved her cover of this for years. Vanessa can sing anything, really. Musical theatre training will do that!!!
Yes, it is from the 30's The Comfort Zone is like my fav CD by Ms V Will...and this song and strangers eyes she is too much, she is unbelievable!!! Great at it all.....beauty, dancing singing acting too much one person just to be so much of it all! Amazing!!!
Alot of people are still asking that question. When they got married, alot of men and women were mad at them for getting married because they had crushes on them. The good thing is that they're still good friends. In Ebony Magazine, Vanessa said that both her ex's came to her house for Thankgiving and Ramon her first husband cooked the whole meal, while Rick did the cleaning.Having both of your ex's cook and clean at a family dinner! It don't get better than that!!
I wish that Vanessa Williams next album would be like the Confront Zone cd because that record had so many good songs on it. I think her next album should have producers like Baby face, Neyo with stargate (the producers of Mary J, Usher, and many more) , David Foster for the pop/ adult radio , and even maybe Swizzbeats for the more up temple tracks. I also wish sometimes the record companies read all of are comments because it could help the artist out a lot. Who Can feel me out there?!!!!!!!
True. She also co-produced this song too. I'm suprised this song didn't get much play like it should have. This song proved that she was more than a pretty face.
I'll try to explain to friends, dear The reasons we two are apart I know what to tell our friends, dear But what can I tell my heart It's easy to say to strangers That we played the game from the start It's easy to lie to strangers But why tell a lie to your heart When I smile to hide all the tears inside What an ache it will be bring Then I'll wander home to a telephone That forgot how to ring I could say you'll soon be back, dear To fool the whole town may be smart I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear But what can I tell my heart When I smile to hide all the tears inside What an ache it will be bring Then I'll wander home to a telephone That forgot how to ring I could say you'll soon be back, dear To fool the whole town may be smart I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear But what can I tell my heart Oh, what will I tell my heart
Does anyone have the video of her singing this live on Arsenio? I have been looking for it forever and no one seems to have it. She slayed it, pregnant and beautiful. In fact, it was that rendition that made me love this song. I saw the performance before I purchased "The Comfort Zone" cd. I really wish someone could dig it up. It was an amazing performance.
She SANG the shitt outta this live on the tonight show with with that goofy Doritos looking guy with the long chin as the host. She looked Gorgeous doing it too of course👈
what the hell happened to music....? Hearing this reminds me that once singers were talented and payed more attention to their craft and not things like twerking....
What kind of music is this? It's not R&B or pop. It's hard to classify. Does anyone know? When I hear her, I keep thinking classic soul, but I don't think that's an actual category. It could be jazz, I guess. Does anyone know what her music is classified as?
Brilliant.! I believe this is a song from 1937. They certainly do not write songs like this any more.
Thank you for sharing.
GAWD she killed this version, FOREVER made it HERS!
For years, i thought is WAS hers! 😆

Vanessa Williams is so versatile, with this song she is harking back to the 30s to early 40s. I can picture her singing this song at the cotton club.
such a classy , sassy, elegant, natural pro!!!!!! genius!!!!! Vanessa Williams is amazingly beautiful!!!!!!
When she puts those sensual "yeahs" at the end of some of her songs she never goes wrong.
I have loved her cover of this for years. Vanessa can sing anything, really.
Musical theatre training will do that!!!
WOW! I haven't seen this video in years!

A hidden gem of a song, fantastic! God she is so breathtaking too, drop dead gorgeous.
finest work she's ever done
One of my favorite songs by her

Yes, it is from the 30's The Comfort Zone is like my fav CD by Ms V Will...and this song and strangers eyes she is too much, she is unbelievable!!! Great at it all.....beauty, dancing singing acting too much one person just to be so much of it all! Amazing!!!

"What will I tell my heart", is from the CD, "The Comfort Zone".
Beautiful.

Speechless.
I'll try to explain to friends, dear
The reasons we two are apart
I know what to tell our friends, dear
But what can I tell my heart
It's easy to say to strangers
That we played the game from the start
It's easy to lie to strangers
But why tell a lie to your heart
When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will be bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart
When I smile to hide all the tears inside
What an ache it will be bring
Then I'll wander home to a telephone
That forgot how to ring
I could say you'll soon be back, dear
To fool the whole town may be smart
I'll tell them you'll soon be back, dear
But what can I tell my heart
Oh, what will I tell my heart
LUV IT !!!

Nicely performance

AGREED
She SANG the shitt outta this live on the tonight show with with that goofy Doritos looking guy with the long chin as the host.
She looked Gorgeous doing it too of course👈
i thought this wasn't a single? how come it has an MV?
I like the telephone that forgot how to ring!!!
I thought Stanley Clarke played bass on this great song by this underratted Miss America.
Lie to your heart; she'll accept it and understand why you lied.
Please ✋ stop
Sing, Mommy!
Julie London would've been proud.
what the hell happened to music....? Hearing this reminds me that once singers were talented and payed more attention to their craft and not things like twerking....
Pretty sure her phone never forgot how to ring......

This is a jazz standard.
"Adult contemporary."
petty crimes - It’s R&B/Soul/Jazz
