RIP Ms Vesta Williams. A brilliant set of pipes that deserved much more success than she was afforded.
As for the song
NOT from any vampire movie, though lyrically the parallel themes are there, this was the longtime b-vox extraordinaire's debut single for A&M that managed to end up a UK top 15 single - and with good reason. Written by veteran r&b man Dave Crawford, who gave Candi Staton her disco makeover (and Dee Dee Warwick her second best single), this is seemless and perfect R&B/Pop of the old skool variety - and a great cover for one of the young belters of today.
US R&B Charts No 9 (which is where the Top 10 status I knew it acquired somewhere came from)

Descanse em Paz Vesta Williams. Você fez sucesso no Brasil com Once Bitten Twice Shy e deixou saudades e sua música toca até hoje 26 anos depois de você ter gravado em primeiro albúm.
Saudações desde o Brasil.
