  • R.I.P. VESTA YOU HAD THE SWEET POWERFUL PIPES

  • THIS IS GOOD MUSIC! I AM FEELIN' IT!

  • Vesta made some good music. Unlike Chaka, Vesta did not get the cross over break with a song like Im Every Woman.

  • just beautiful

  • i miss good music rip vesta

  • So much like the music of my ALL TIME favorite female vocalist, The Fabulous Awesome CHAKA KHAN, This kind of music never grows old with me. Vesta did backup for Chaka, once upon a time.

  • Yes unsung brought me here! She had an amazing voice and beautiful personality. RIP Vesta.

  • Love this song. Just love it.

  • i love this osng and i just heard of her on unsung, thats crazy how she died weeks after her interview and i truly dont understand how she wasnt promoted as other artists she has a great voice, there are people who cant sing better than her and they were promoted as cross over artists well r.i.p.

  • @PrettyGurlSaffi14 I totally feel you. And what's even crazier is how they pull the weight card with female artists, but never with male. Hell Luther Vandross went from big to small to big again and they never stopped promoting him.

  • Love this song to death, but people have have to understand we already have one Chaka and the record companies had a hard time with that, thats why she didnt blow up, plus Chaka and Vesta didnt get along because of this fact they dont want to talk about that. Vesta adored and wanted to be Chaka so bad that she was determined to take a try at it and it worked, shes lucky she got some sucess as much as she did RIP girl, you sung yur ass off!

  • @raybarks100 Vesta didn't have a problem with Chaka, nor Chaka with Vesta. In fact, when Vesta would she Chaka out someplace they would talk. Please don't make remarks about something you know nothing about. Your statement was baseless and untrue. I happen to have been a friend of Vesta's and I'm a friend of Chaka and her family. Some people believe what they read.

  • She sounds like Chaka Khan :-) love her voice RIP to Vesta!

  • Classic !!!!!

  • she was true beauty. neva was one to care what ppl said or how they felt and could sing her butt off, sorry we lost you, u will be missed Vesta

  • One of the BADDEST to ever do it....Top Notch Diva...she had class and style...she was cruisin' in that Corvette! lol

    R.I.P.

  • @SexiRed8403, she even favors Jackee. Both very beautiful!

  • Her voice is similiar to Jackee Harry....Sandra from 227 and Lisa from Sister, Sister. Another great voice!

  • I ALWAYS loved Vesta way before Unsung! I remember when my mom had this tape. She played the mess out of this and Congratulations! She was very underrated! Amazing voice! R.I.P.

  • So sad to hear her passing. She was a great singer.  I loved this song

  • Like the song .and the music back then it had more substance.

  • looooooooove this song

  • A true untapped talent I thought for her the best was yet to come

  • loved you for the artist you were. a blessing.

  • one of my favorite from vesta i listen to it every morning for work it relax my mind.....

  • I hate she was so underrated! Her voice remids me of Chaka Khan's, just so soulful. I really appreciate the Unsung show on her. Thank you Vesta for providing me with wonderful memories of great times and great r & b! R.I. Paradise!

  • i miss good r/b videos im 36

  • I had my first kiss to this song and I FELT the words she was singing! Man, RIP Vesta!

  • This song brought back some memories, my husband and I have been together since this song came out in 89, I used to listen to this when I would drive up to spend the weekends with him, Just don't hear singers like Vesta, Mikki Howard, Regina Belle, Anita Baker Etc, anymore, when those women sang you FELT it & that's why this song is a classic. I too just finished watching Unsung & was shocked to see she'd passed. It's sad to see a talent like that not being notice...RIP

  • Yes!

  • Teary Eyed! My soul is just crushed that this phenomenal talent has left us too soon. I've been ridin' with Vesta since the 80's and she was so underrated it's unbelievable. She reminds me of Chaka at times but her voice is so distinctive that you know it's Vesta. She really was a vocal beast and could hang in there with the best of them. Vesta held her own. This was my damn jam back in the day. I still got the cassette tape. lol About couple years ago I upgraded to a cd. R.I.P Vesta!

  • her sexy ass.....hmmmmm

  • I'm quite sure many of us are here do to Vesta's "Unsung" special, lol. But wasn't she a huge talent, and so beautiful; big or small! She was a treasure and will be sorely missed! SpreadDaWord. Com

  • I have been a fan of Vesta's since my club days back in the early eighties, the sista certainly had pipes but the fact she was as fine as hell did'nt hurt either.Vesta made me give thick sistas a second take. Rest In Peace lady V I will certainly miss you. Your number 1 fan.

  • @taical63 i see where Cece peniston, Robin s, get their style from i know Vesta reminds me of chaka but i also see similar like miki Howard & winbush, even Martha wash

  • Beautiful song :-)

  • truly a love song timeless classic fantastic song

  • A great singer who held her own & then some! She does have a Chaka Khan-like sound but she was definitely blessed with an amazing voice!

  • I had forgotten about this song, but Unsung did make me look up this song. I only remembered Congratulations. Quiet Storm back in the day!!!

  • Unsung did a great piece on her last night.....

  • Thumbs Up if Unsung brought you here.

  • @rdsknfn it sure did! I use to love this song!

  • Just shed a tear for Vesta. I used to fall asleep w/ this song on in my headsets. So much talent.

  • "Gone 2 Soon"!!

  • very underrated mesmerizing

  • Watching Vesta on Unsung now

  • she always reminded me of Chaka. RIP Vesta

  • I'm watching her Unsung right now.

  • @Aariyan096

    caught the episode. it wuz great!!!

  • @MusicOfTheSystem It surely was! I luved her humor :).

  • dang i remember hearing this song but never could put name to voice

  • i was still listenin 2 rap when this was out but i still palyed it home so no one knew lol

  • oh man! this was my song....I remember it so well, even after not hearing it in years.....R.I.P. Vesta....

  • Now for all of her who judged her wrong. Vests died of hypertension and heart disease. So leave my baby alone so she can rest in peace.

  • Im kinda pissed because all of the ironic superstars are dying now we really dont have noone here that can really sing not no Beyonce she did not need to wear sexy clothing to make her feel good about herself she is an idividual and NOBODY can replace her we all Miss you RIP

  • I will be recording that Unsung episode and you know wat that put a big impact on our singing history now we don't have anyone like that except for Chaka Kahn but she not doing anything right now so Vesta is the only thing we all can remember my mom was sad and stills remembers her in her heart we luv you Vesta we all do RIP

  • Her Unsung episode will debut this coming Monday on Jan 2 for all of you that didn't know. I will definitely be tuned in. Tragic Loss!

  • @Codycole80 Caught it tonight and it wuz good!!

  • Vesta use to sing background for Chaka Khan. She was underrated and her voice will be missed. Rest in peace.

  • Reminds me of Chaka

  • Damn!! I did not know she died this year. She was really under-rated, This year we lose a lot of Good, real entertainers. R.I.P Vesta, Heavy D, I'm still not over last years Guru and Gregory Isaac, and even Lou Rawles in 2006. Just now we wont have no real singers.

  • this is a REAL SINGER WITH STYLE,GRACE,CLASS and CHARISMA. IT'S A GODDAMM SHAME THAT MTV DIDN'T SHOW THIS VIDEO !!!..........FUCK MTV ............THOSE PUNK ASS BITCHES!!!

  • You will always by loved VESTA....

  • RIP Vesta I will ALWAYS be remembered!!!! Loved, loved, loved her!!!!!!!!

  • She Was Soo Pretty!

  • Words alone cannot describe how talented and gifted this woman was. It was real singers like her that made music so wonderful. Unfortunate that pop culture would choose Lady Garbage over Vesta who can actually sing. So sad to hear about her passing. R.I.P. Vesta. GONE BUT NOT FORGOTTEN!

  • Its so ironic,for months i would listen to this song&be soothe by the melody/Vesta voice.Hearing the news of her passing was especially crushing.. She was absolutely beautiful(speaking as a fan)&those of us who cherish heartfelt r&b like her's pray that the light she beamed is NEVER FORGOTTEN! Sweet Sweet Love is timeless! R.I.P. VESTA

  • Beautiful, touching, and such and enduring song. RIP Vesta. Sweet Sweet Vesta.

  • such a beautiful song....baby makin music..makes me want to have lots of babies.....................

  • I'm so hurt !!

  • I can't find this song on iTunes!!!

  • An Angel gone home to sing to amongst the stars. R.I.P beautiful woman, you'll be miss by all.

  • Vesta is now singing with the angels she has earned her wings R.I.P you will be sorely missed oxoxoxoxo

  • On September 22, Williams was found dead in a hotel room in El Segundo, California, a suburb of Los Angeles.[1][18][19] According to the county coroner's office, Williams was found dead at 6:15 p.m. While a Los Angeles County Coroner's Office spokesperson has stated that Williams' demise was likely due to a drug overdose

  • What happen to the real singers... will miss your voice!

  • Vesta was never underated, Vesta was a and will a PURE VOICE that will never be SILENT !

  • RIP sweetie you will be missed!

  • Such an example of sexy, sultry, sensual, a woman with nothing to do but look and smell good everyday. My HUSBAND's prayer for me. Home Depot is kinda my style these days. Thanks Again

    

  • She's not underrated by the real music artists and fans those who don't give her due respect are souless, they can't feel her. Vesta elevates your awareness about the soft part of love which we all possess but so many of us suppress. And wonder why are relationships fail so often. Sweet sweet love will bring your hard-headed ass into balance! T.I.P. Vesta Williams Love you FOREVER!!

  • GOD TAKEN ALL HIS REAL TALENT HOME TO BE WITH HIM ALL THE REALSINGERS THAT IS TRUE TO THIER ART GOD IS LOVE ; LOVE VESTA AND TINA MARIE WHO WE LOST IN WITHIN A YEAR TRUE ARTIST THEY MADE THE WORLD A BETTER PLACE WHILE THEY WERE '''' SUCH BEAUTIFUL WOMEN

  • this is my favorite vesta song of all times.. i thought i was so in love with love back then.. this song not only made me cry but makes me smile as well.. thanks for the memories Vesta.. this song will always bring the good ones to mind..

  • 8 people need sweet, sweet love.

  • @TheLanard NOW YOU KNOW IT'S SOME FOLKS THAT NEED A TAD MORE PRAYER THAN OTHERS!!!

  • What a lost. Such a beautiful lady.

  • RIP Vesta! Such amazing talent and such a gift from God to us. You will NEVER be forgotten. Sending you "Sweet Sweet Love"...

  • R.I.P. Vesta Williams. She had beautiful soulful voice and this right here is my favorite song by her.

  • Sorry to hear of her passing...RIP!

  • RIP

  • Ms. Mary "Vesta" Williams U will be greatly missed....We Luv U..... R.I.P

  • sweet sweet love helped me through really tough times in my past, i will trully miss her, her family is in my prayers.

  • Vesta was one of the great female singers and will truly be missed..R.I.P. Ms. Williams!!

  • I Was Very Shocked & Sadden To Hear About Her Passing...... She Will Be Dearly Missed

  • Rest in Peace Vesta.

  • This was and is one of my favorites songs from Vesta Williams. She will always be remembered as the definition of "CLASS". RIP Mary Vesta Williams<3 (December 1, 1957 – September 22, 2011)

  • Missing her immensely

  • as a matter of fact vesta was once a back-up singer for chaka khan. her first appearence on "video soul" with donnie simpson she acknowledge that.

  • @melvinstephens1 i remember that! she would joke with Donnie the whole show! she was so funny!!

  • What a "special" lady, person and VOICE! There will NEVER be another! RIP girl! ;-(

  • Wow, what a shock. What pipes she had. She was another underrated R&B singer that should have been a bigger star. I loved her attitude. I will miss her.

  • Rip Vesta

  • Vesta doll, baby girl, were you hurting inside. Did heartache drive you to this. I hope not, but if it did...I understand. The heart, when aching, can eat away at your sanity.

  • I immediately think of Phyllis Hyman. Two women who could sing so deeply about love. They will be truly missed.

  • Man... when she riffs at the end of this song....classic. One of my favorite singers and she will be sorely missed!

  • I always loved the way that R&B singers back in the day could make you forget about your problems or that you just had a bad day. Vesta could do that with her beautiful and sweet voice...and what a range that lady had. One thing that I believe is that we should always support the Divas of the 70', 80's and 90's like Vesta many of them are still out there singing and can put it on down...Vesta will be missed...RIP

  • This was one of my favorite sings by her! She was a beautiful woman & was sexy without having to show her ass like they do in videos now. R.I.P Vesta!!

  • This song is one of my all time favorites... brings me to tears hearing it now knowing she's gone... I still can't believe it.. :(

  • She sounds like Chaka Khan.

  • Rest in Paradise love you will always be in our memories and my heart 1 Love

  • R.I.P. Beautiful Vesta. Should have been more recognised than she was. But was loved by many. Great voice, well hell, when you've sung background for Chaka, you had to have the chops. That was a great time for music; not like today when the pickins are few.

  • I instantly fell in love with this song when I first heard it,becasue I thought that it was my favorite female artist Chaka Khan.But when I found out that it was Vesta and that she use to sing back ground for Chaka,she became one of my favorites.I remember her performance on the Apollo when she was doing the running man,and her most recent performance on Monique! She will be missed by all of us who loved her,and we are blessed to still be able to enjoy her talent through her music! RIP DIVA!

  • @mrsNitac LOL!

    yes, she would do that running man! lol

    she had a great energy. . .so beautiful and funny.

  • LOVE YOU VESTA! Just looked her up last week to see if she came out with anything new. My God!

  • I remember when this song came out and I was like I need to be 20 to sing this to my man lol. #<3 The'80'sR&B

  • R.I.P, gone too soon

    

  • Rest in peace my beautiful Vesta. Im already missing you. I can't believe that you are gone. I was at every Los Angeles concert :(

  • beauatiful talent gone to soon - we never know when or why - one of my relatives passed away in his sleep this evening

  • I'm just sitting here listening to all of Vesta Songs. I'm very sad for her she was so great. I never forgot any of her song or her. She should have been a bigger star. She was a much better singer than of what out here today! Vesta you still had many fans who loved you. Tears!!!!!!!!!

  • Love this song!!! RIP Vesta

  • dam, this is a banger! i haven't heard this since I was 16. with all these deaths, it makes you want to go hug everybody you love....real talk, rest in peace queen.

  • Wow.....I Just Seen Vesta Early This Year......We Spoke About Her New Music.....& How Successful The Recent "Come Backs" Of Maxwell & El DeBarge Were......She Looked Good & Sound Good...She Was Healthy & Happy.....

    Vesta You Will TRULY Be Missed & So Will Your Sweet, Sweet Voice...RIP

  • R.I.P Vesta Williams

  • Very sad....I grew up listening to her voice as a kid...Sad day RIP Vesta.

  • Loves her voice, she was gorgeous!! Please EinahChild make congratulations available on mobile!!

  • This voice...we are losing all our REAL singers. I was a kid when this song came out and it is still one of my favorites. RIP Vesta.

  • r.i.p i'm shocked

  • A VERY POWERFUL VOICE FROM A TRUE DIVA!!!!! R.I.P. VESTA!!!!!!

  • My guy called me on the phone and he said he had some bad news! He said one of your favorite singers died from the 80's? I guessed that it was her for some reason! I don't want to believe it! She is so pretty, great flair for fashion, and most importantly she has a powerful and beautiful voice. I just saw her on the Monique Show about a couple weeks ago! I usually don't watch the Monique show but for some reason I had to see her!

  • R.I.P vesta williams
