One Day I'll Fly Away - Vesta Williams (1984)

[Cerl84]

Vesta -very sexy ..peace out girl...

[ProphetessBobino]

Love Vesta and Really love Joe Sample

[IMissMyMichael]

I truly learned the lesson. You never know what someone is going through. You have to be prayerful and mindful of everyone. I love you Vesta and I miss you.

[winsome70]

Relal talent that was never recognized....beautiful voice.

[grifitti]

I don't understand it !!! How can a woman THIS TALENTED not become a super star ?? Something went very wrong here. Bad management? Bad Producers? Bad work ethics? Substance abuse ? I think it was more than substance abuse. Billie Holliday's stuff still made it thru. I am a Chaka Khan fanatic but I always thought Vesta was the only vocalist I'd ever seen or heard who fit into the same arena with Chaka. PLUS, Vesta could have given Oprah trouble if she'd had a talk show.

[GeminiJR3]

RIP VESTA!!!

[treborps]

[kingdommom6]

[kdunn75]

[Cherelle728]

R.I.P. Vesta! GOD makes no mistakes. It is now your time to FLY AWAY and be with the rest of God's angels. SMH......So much talent unappreciated! You will trully be missed but never forgotten. Your music will live on forever in our hearts! We Love You!! Rest In Peace Vesta Williams<3<3<3 True Fan...Love all your music!!

[honeyspycecb]

RIP Vesta, we'll miss you ; (

[cheleni1]

i love it when the ochestra kicks in its so good and full and harmonic

[FlipitFlopit77]

Joe Sample is on the piano not the guitar, I always knew Mr. Sample playing piano for as long as I can remember... Oh well some networks can't get it right, and it's Japan??

[xeroxrbh]

Man, people are stupid! Everybody can't be like Chaka Khan! I respect this woman's art! We all have a cloud! Some bigger than others! The sun shine thru all clouds big or small ! Appreciate the talent! WTF are you doing? That's the mirror you should be rehearsing in to yourself!

[mkeym]

[MrsMusic912]

[ns0710]

David T. Walker on guitar

[Neni003]

In awe...

[pirrostsakas]

At 2:55 it looks like the saxman is playing a little drums at the same time loool!!!

[hoovoo]

LOOL

[URSINHOdePELUCHE]

If he were an octopus, he could play the bass, piano and guitar, too. And conduct , needless to say :D

[me6jusme]

I LOVE THIS WOMAN!!!! She'll always be my 1st favorite. And for those of you who are into her, Lalah Hathaway does a great version also.

[nataliamargaret]

wow. i didnt like any versions of this song besises moulin rouge but i love this. its amazing.thnx for posting it

[N22831]

She not only came upon the stage in content with singing the heck out of this song. But she was beautiful doing it. Go girl you can put  Chaka to shame.

[CHEEKBEATAH]

Don't get it twisted.... there is a MASTER and then there is the pupil. NO ONE can touch Chaka... but I think Chaka herself would tell you that NO ONE comes closest to sounding like her EXCEPT for Vesta. Vesta needs to stopping joking with her covers cd and get the right material and producers and she would all over the airwaves.

[N22831]

I am in agreement with this. But Vesta has more class then Chaka.

[cmelmoneyman]

she obviously can't put Chaka to shame...Chaka's still around being honored and where is Vesta?

[bentfamily]

Her voice is beautiful...

[sugar1on2top3]

Wow

I have never heard her singing as a lead singer

other than in her albums.

She sings great.

The equalizing is not very good in some places:

the orchestra is too loud, still I am very glad to listen

to her.

Thank you for uploading.

[Specialdark23]

Vesta can sing soul music as well as jazz! Very Underrated!

[SistaQueen88]

i like when lalah hathaway does this song. but vesta has more of a soulful voice.

[TSquared2001]

That makes two of us.

[jody808]

beautiful music

[maxtheknife]

What a treat! Vesta is one of my favorite singers and I'm so happy to see footage of her before she started recording albums.

[atmybest4]

It seems like the band is drowning her out a bit in some places of the song. I still like the performance, though.
