Sweet, Sweet Vesta

"Vesta Williams, former background vocalist for the legendery Chaka Khan, steps out on her own on her sophomore set entitled "4U". This is Vesta's best effort to date.This CD contains the Top 10 R&B singles "Sweet Love" and "Congradulations" and the Top 40 R&B title track. Vesta sizzles with sex on "Hunger", grooves through "How You Feel" and "Best I Ever Had". Her vocals shine on the powerful ballad "Running Into Memories".Although Vesta was stilling sounding a lot like her mentor, Chaka Khan on this CD, eventually, she would find a more original sound with future albums, although they proved to be not as successful as this one.This CD is a must for anyone who enjoys strong vocal performances and appreciates a real, talented singer. Outstanding!"

ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED R&B DIVAS IN HISTORY

"After wowing listeners with her 1986 debut and as a former background singer for Stephanie Mills and many other singers. Vesta Williams returned in 1988 with the smash hit cd 4U that won the ears of many radio stations with the lovely ballad Congratulations that was a top ten hit on the 80's charts and quickly became Vesta's {as she was better known as} trademark hit and becoming an instant classic. In the 90's Vesta followed up 4U with the underrated Special and Everything and More both of which did poorly on the charts and are now out of print. She Then tried again in 1997 with a album of ballads titled Relationships which only produced one minor single Someone For Me and failed to connect with radio and R&B listeners. Vesta should connect more with other fans and perhaps make a comeback album AND should bring back her cds in print which is why I don't have 4U yet. But someday maybe somehow she'll try again for a place on the R&B hotseat very soon but until then Vesta has left behind a album that will be a instant R&B classic"

"Strong, confident sexy vocals are dominanat throughout this album. It has a great mix out ballads & up-tempo songs. This is an impressive album as are all of Vesta's albums. I love all the songs on this album! In short, get this & all of her CD's, you will be glad you did!"
