  • I agree she will be missed ... she was so funny and inspiring... may she R.I.P.!!!!

  • There is a re-run of Unsung on right now about her. She was such a talented and gorgeous lady. Know she is singing in Heaven with the angels, other singers...May she forever rest in peace.

  • Unsung recently did a profile about her. Truly a BEAUTIFL woman, it didn't matter if she was large or small. She was an artist that could actually sing. She will be missed!!!!

  • She was and still is one of the most beautiful women EVER!!

  • She reminds me of the also late and great Phyllis Hyman.

  • Its January 6th 2012 and it JUST HIT ME!!!! The reality of who we lost...Vestas voice is forever inbedded in the memories of those of us that were fortunate to groove to her sexy soul ballads...TRULY A HEART THROB BEAUTY FOR ME!!! missing her for real...

  • I love the "ole skool" camp the video gives.

  • this song brings back memories of riding in the car with my mom as a kid...she used to always sing along with Vesta lol... RIP Vesta...gone far too soon

  • Never get tired of this. True vocal talent.

  • I remember my cousin making me watch this video as a child, she said it was beautiful. At the time I couldn't appreciate it, but time changes things. The song is still a classic & still beautiful.

  • I love this song...She was my motivation alot of times....KISSES!

  • For years I listened to this song on a daily basis!!! Broken hearted over a guy of course!!! :/

  • I love this song but i was unaware that she was gone. In 2001,

    i was supposed to c her live at Stone Soul Picnic in Baltimore but I missed her cause I was worried about my birthday. Don't procrastinate when u have a chance to c a phenomenol star. Thank you for the beautiful song.She will be missed

  • "4 as long as I can breathe u'll always B the1 4 me" the most awesome verse ever!!!!

  • I remember loving this song when I was a child in the 80's. Its because of voices like yours that has inspired TRUE singers that can sing their asses off without it being auto-tuned. THANK YOU for your contribution to what REAL Soulful music is. This song will forever be rememered and will be a Classic. You will be misssed...RIP Miss Vesta Williams.

  • Wow! I must have been under a rock, just a few mins ago, saw that Vesta passed away a few weeks ago. My sincere condolences to her family. May this vocal angel rest among the angels above.

  • I love this video and song, no one is like Vesta, her voice is like none other. YOU WILL BE MISSED. Vesta, Nick Ashford, Amy Winehouse, Micheal Jackson see you all in Paradise. Rest for now. See you all later.

  • @TheAvalonpark add Heavy D.  they will all be Missed.

  • @tornadobuster I am missing my girl too...And I bought all of her music in CD"s. Vesta first release was 1988 and CD's started in 1996. My friend Millicent and I was at every show and it seems all the people that we love are leaving. So sad.

  • rest in peace miss Vesta grew up on you love and respect all day long....

  • Wow! I am so sad my friend Vesta is gone! I am the kid in the church sitting next to her friend who turns around. Yeah...with the El Debarge mullet! lol. She was a special woman as I got to know her over the years. She always called me that cute yellow boy...lol! Love you Vesta! Thank you for putting me in my first music video & giving me my first music true industry experience.

  • R.I.P this was my song. Man she had a beautiful voice.

  • another question. do they have a instrumental to this song?

  • RIP Sister Vesta...We Love You!

  • I just thought about Vesta and decided to watch some of her videos and I find she's passed on.....wow! I always liked Vesta and her music,matter of fact I had a krush on her. She was a very beautiful and talented lady and I will miss her something terrible!

    Miss Vesta,may your journey be peaceful!! Just know we all love you and will always remember you!!

  • I will miss you Vesta. Thanks to your music I fell in love with a wonderful woman who made all the difference in my life. RIP Vesta and thank you from the bottom of my heart.

  • Vesta, Vesta...you will be missed. This song has such significance for me. It came out at the exact time I was going thru a love triangle of sorts. Songs really do speak to our situations and touch us in such deep and lasting ways, people just don't know what the industry is doing by replacing real talent with technology. Vocals stand the test of time and so do good lyrics. U Will be Missed . RIP Diva. I know she suffered issues of image & not fitting into the commercial brand. GB the family!

  • r.i.p. vesta, i was jus playing this 2 weeks ago mayb that meant sumthn, love y gurl, u will b missed

  • i didnt notice she died i thought witney Houston died

  • maybe I got the time mark wrong its the part near the end of the song where she sings loud

  • THANK YOU VESTA WILLIAMS FOR YOUR REAL MUSICAL TESTIMONY T.I.P!

  • can somebody PLEASE TELL ME WHAT SHE SAYS AT THE 3:26 mark . I know it sounds like I thought to have a weave. I'm just joking but what does she say? I've been trying to find out for years now . btw I LOVE YOU VESTA R.I.P.

  • @spirit69warrior "but as long as I can breathe...you'll always be the one for me...

  • @spirit69warrior "Cause as long as I can breathe" Lol. You're funny. :-)

  • @Cheenjoo I messed up but it's at 3:06, when I was younger I thought she said aaahhh I thought to have a weave and because you didnt even say to take care?

  • @spirit69warrior LOL! Oh, it's "I hope she makes you happy because you didn't even say goodbye". I hope this relieves you of the "weave" line. You crack me up.

  • @spirit69warrior she says for as long as i can breathe, you'll always be the one for me.

  • @lefty14u I made a error I meant the 3:08

  • @lefty14u she said i hope she makes you happy, after she say that she go crazii with the words but hey the sog is great

  • That was one sexy black woman. I used to confuse heer for Phyllis Hyman back in the day & now Vesta died under similar conditions. I wish they gave her death more publicity.

  • R.I.P. Vesta Williams

  • Aw, you were such a beautiful and classy lady. RIP.

  • RIP Vesta you were truely one of the greats your voice will live on

  • R.I.P Sweetheart...

  • Remarkable voice, great talent. "Once Bitten, Twice Shy" is my favorite recording by Vesta. Rest in Peace, Ms Williams. Welcome home.

  • What a voice! RIP!

  • The Official African AMerican Wedding Song.

  • @tasceaie1493 Sorry it was Americas song. RIP!

  • @tasceaie1493 Wait, WHAT, you are kidding right? Did you listen to the lyrics...sure its a nice song...while she is saying Congratulations, she's also saying this person should have married her...she's in love with him and she might potentially bust up the marriage because when you are in love, u will do anything to get that person back....hahaha, speak for yourself...I dont want it...but thanks. Starting your marriage off wrong if you think this is a good wedding song. Just saying :)

  • @Coahoma100 True that. It's great lovemaking music. But this definitely isn't meant to be a wedding song.

  • This is the song everybody try to sing on amateur night at the Apollo...

  • RIP Vesta..God be with you!

  • r.i.p vesta

  • Wow i was shocked to hear she passed it really hurt me i love her voice smh rip ms vesta u will b missed :(

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

  • Awwww its so sad that she died! RIP VESTA WILLIAMS!

  • Thanx for leaving us this beautiful song, MS. VESTA. We will never forget U. R.I.P.

  • RIP Queen!

  • Another one! Man. We are losing all of the authentic talent and without reason. It's already bad enough they were artistically forced out of the industry for cheaper non-talented individuals (or the less imaginative artistically). Now, to be gone forever is just so unfair. Prayers with her daughter and family. Thank you for good material that will always last Ms. Vesta.

  • @Cheenjoo I couldnt have said it better myself!! Well said!!

  • @Cheenjoo I feel the same way..all of our really great singers with talent.

  • R.I.P Vesta You will be forever thought of....

  • @schrap72 Was it not an accident?

  • RIP Vesta

  • What a great voice and heart! So down to earth! Woo...

  • Rip Vesta you will be missed!

  • I LOVED THIS DIVA!! You will be missed Vesta.. :(

  • Yes, that was Vesta in the video. A true diva gone but never forgotten. R.I.P Vesta

  • She is now a part of that beautiful choir with GOD. She is a black angel in flight.

  • Loved this Song!! R.I.P. to a songbird! God Bless!

  • God only knows why a beautiful voice like this is taken away, But I know this is only the begining of her singing career now she sings in Heaven!

    Rest in Peace.

  • YOU WILL BE SO MISSED VESTA SO SAD!!!!!!!

  • R.I.P.VESTA

    

  • A TRUE ANTHEM OF OUR TIMES! AMAZING HOW SUCH A PHENOMENAL TALENT NEVER REACHED THE STATUS THAT SHE DESERVED HER SOUND WAS TIMELESS

    LORETTA TOUSSANT

  • DAM!!! First Amy Winehouse, now this. This entertainment business is rough. What a wonderful singer. Rest in peace Vesta.

  • I was so sad to hear the news about Vesta's death. I still have her tapes- that's all they made back then- and still play them from time to time. She was a true diva who could sing her butt off, but never got her deserved props. I miss the kind of music she made. You just can't find that kind of quality anymore. She is still one of the best singers out there regardless and will be missed. RIP.

  • REST IN SWEET PEACE!!! YOU WILL BE MISSED!!!

  • Still cant believe it, RIP Vesta, many are leaving us!

  • A classic song that always brought tears to my eyes. RIP Vesta.

  • R.I.P. Miss Vesta. You will forever live in my heart.

  • In the 8os I wore my hair just like her. People used to call me Vesta. It was an honor! She made being a "Big Girl", sexy. Before there was a Mo'Nique. I am so sad to here of her passing. I'm also mad, because The Industry was not kind to her because back then she wasn't a size 6. She was EXTREMELY TALENTED! I will miss her. RIP girl. EVERYONE HERE NEW YOU WERE A CLASS ACT!

  • @theylou Vesta was BEAUTIFUL,,,,Monique is not

  • omg i am in shock

  • I'd to go to the service if possible.

  • I felt like I knew her, so expressive and beautifull. A very CLASSY lady and always had jokes. I'm not a singer but I will make my tribute in a song.

  • Dam, i was just reminising off of this song last month, had a short memory of an old old love

    RIP cb

  • @EinahChild she has a daughter.

  • Man I was a young kid when this came out, to small to understand what this song meant. But ain't it funny and sad how this song will live on forever and most of the songs they make today only last for a year or so.

    RIP VESTA you truly made your mark on us all.

  • Rest In Heaven Vesta XOXO

  • RIP.

  • OMG! THIS BEAUTIFUL VESSEL IS GONE FROM US!

  • RIP Vesta - you were an AMAZING gift to us.

  • R.I.P Vesta

  • This song always brought tears to my eyes. Not because I went through it. Because I'd feel what pain someone would go through. And Vesta sang it with all her heart. The last chorus really brought it home.

  • a very sexy lady

  • @carleton28 VERY SEXY

  • "The Women Of Brewster Place" theme is sung by Vesta...it's beautiful.

  • @ carmendecor: Amaan, I mean Amen

  • Oh Lord. he told you to loose that damned weight honey...sheet

  • GREAT LOVE SONG

  • I think her and the guy in the song had broken up but she didnt think it was truly over. But i guess it was huh. great song.i remember singing this before i even knew what it really meant.lol

  • @ChassyDime THATS AMAZING YOU WROTE THIS A MONTH AGO WHO WOULD KNOWN THAT SHE BE GONE SO SOON GOD BLESS HER ANY WAY

  • This song is so true to me right now! The only difference is that I'm a male and the young lady I was interested in didn"t tell me that she is engaged to be married. I'am really hurt by this because I had so much trust in her. And right now to this day,she still hasn't confessed that she is getting married to another man. WELL this song is really helping me coupe with the hurt and pain; however I wish her the best and May GOD bless her and I give her my blessings also. CONGRATULATIONS

  • Lord this brings back memories, donnie simpson on BET

  • ONE OF MY MOST FAVORITE SONGS IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD... :)

    MAKES ME WANNA CRY.... SO TRUE... SO TRUE... :(

  • Remember my ex getting married when this song was out ..and going through some changes

  • so painfull so true took years to get over but i did men r dogs but even a dog takes her pups

  • @jacquelinesuzann Whatever! This song is STOOPID! If a man is seeing you but then turn around and send a wedding invite then YOU KNEW about the other woman! But you were stupid enough to stay around! WHen there is someone else red flags are always shown!

  • THAT SONG MAKES ME CRY BECAUSE IM GOING THRU SOMETHING SIMILIAR TO THAT

  • Classic! Where in the world is she???

  • @KrissyCo1 Vesta is going to be on the Mo'Nique show tonight.

  • she needs to be on unsung....

  • @12qm IU agree!

  • @12qm ...AGREED. I still can't believe that she never had any certified gold albums. I've at times heard great singers with poor production and/or songs or great production/songs with so-so singers, but Vesta had the unique combination of good songs and great singing. There are so many artists from the 80s/early 90s that were limited (as the charts were not as crossed over as they are now) and these artists with immeasurable talent never got the recognition (or financial accolades) deserved.

  • @daretosayit you hit it on the nail, these singers today cant hold a candle to a lot of 80's and 90's artist...now its all about the look, instead of the voice

  • A beautiful woman indeed!

  • i wish TvOne Unsing would do her story

  • seeing her in the wedding dress is kinda creepy like an obsessive thing!

  • @karykares the whole song is creepy but cool...she saying "you will always be the one for me" as long as i can breathe....damn......if that aint stalkerish i dont know what is. but at least she said congrats..and didnt stop the wedding.

  • @Hicaldo You do stop the wedding! Well at least let that woman know what kind of man she is marrying! You don't say no "congradulations" and don't nothing! That's just as bad as what he is doing.

  • @karykares the whole song is creepy but cool...she saying "you will always be the one for me" as long as i can breathe, even though bruh man getting married....damn......if that aint stalkerish i dont know what is. but at least she said congrats..and didnt stop the wedding.

  • @Hicaldo  LMAO :-)

  • my baby daddy beat my ass to this song!!

  • LOVE THIS SONG MY GRANDKIDS WILL KNOW THIS SONG TOO AND CARRY THE KNOWLEGE OF GOOD MUSIC

  • This Woman was absolutely crushed. ..

  • This is when BET played good shit....I use to sit up watching this on Midnight Love.....I was 16...man how time flies...If I could go back in a time machine i'd stop at 87 and not go past 97.....one of the greatest SAD songs of all time.

  • I LOVE THIS SONG IT SORT OF BRINGS TEARS TO MY EYES IT TAKES MY MIND DOWN MEMORY LANE.BUT SHES RIGHT

  • this is one of the best singers, though not widely known, she could sing like no ones business!!! and this song.... dayummmm ... ijs
