Wow - she's had a makeover! What's she been doing in the meanwhile?
Nevermind. I think I just answered my own question. | |

Nevermind. I think I just answered my own question. Yeah, she looks different. I`m not familiar with her earlier stuff, but i`m curious about this album.... | |

Icicle, think of Vesta Williams' earlier music as more contemporary-type ballads, like a more accessible Chaka Khan. Her biggest hit songs were "Once Bitten Twice Shy," "Sweet, Sweet Love," "Special" and her signature song, "Congratulations."

I also really liked her dance hit "Do Ya." I need to track that song down... "Whitney was purely and simply one of a kind." ~ Clive Davis | |

I personally thought Vesta's voice sounds similar to Chaka Khan's; in fact, she was a studio singer with stints with Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight and Stephanie Mills. So you're going to get some of the similar vocal treatment on those songs I named.
You still can buy Vesta's second album, "Vesta 4 U," while it's in print. That's the album that has "Sweet, Sweet Love" and "Congratulations." On an interesting note: Vesta also has done stints as a stand-up comedienne, and during one of her performances she did a pretty mean impersonation of Vanessa Williams that started a rivalry of sorts.

She was all over the "Chaka Khan" album along with Mel'isa Morgan and Sandra St. Victor. | |

I am sooooo sick of covers albums!!!  
I like Vesta alot,but I am NOT buying this.I'm not buying the new Diana Ross CD either.Re-making classic songs is too easy.It's lazy. | |
