Wow! Awesome video! All of the GREAT singers are passing. UR so right..there's another wonderful voice in the heavenly choir!! Noone could ever replace VESTA! She will always be one of my faves.
the crazy thing is that this actually happened to her! not long after the song was released ..she should have been a bigger star! but Heaven now has another BEAUTIFUL voice in the Choir! so sad but no more Pain..... YOUR MUSIC WILL LIVE ON FOREVER Ms.Vesta .....most ppl say she sounded like Chaka which she did but her phrasing and style was all her own . Anita Baker was right Vesta was a barrel of vocals!!! and she could imitate Chaka really good! most ppl thought Chaka sang Sweet Sweet Love !
@Lifetimepanther1944 Many people accused Vesta of imitating Chaka. I never thought that was the case at all. She was a former background vocalist for Chaka so of course she was going to have a strong voice like Chaka's. But, no doubt, Vesta had her own sound. U could definately hear the influence but Vesta had her own unique sound and style.
@maxtheknife yeah your right! and I also read that because of Chaka drug addiction back in the day when Vesta sang background she had to take over! ppl prob didnt even kno the difference between her and CK because that voice and a crazy wig was all she needed! She was influenced by CK alot but she had her own style as well and she was accused of imitating her but I dont think so! I think both of them loved Jazz so therefore their voices were both very horn-like in sound !
One of my all time favorite artists! Most people don't even know that she she did most of the backround vocals on Anita Bakers "Rapture" album! Vesta was a force all by her self. She also did the backup vocals along with Lisa Fischer on Chaka Khan's "Got to be there album~! Vesta and Lisa are so underrated. Luther Vandross did make Lisa Fischer popular, but they are bost still very underrated!
@AIKAN74 Its nice to see your paying tribute to one of the most beautiful women and singers ever Vesta .......Im sure she would greatly appreciate it ! She seemed to have such a zest for life and a very down to earth person .......its sad the way her life ended all alone in a hotel room. :( I just hope those around her who really cared gave her flowers while she was alive . may she Rest In Paradise ................GREAT VIDEO TIMELESS SONG GREAT QUALITY GREAT CHANNEL !
@Lifetimepanther1944 thanx......i have a few more to post so stay tuned.....check out my homemade videos for a few of my fav songs of hers on my other channel: aikan1974.
Wasn't even mentioned at the Grammys. Real sad!
