Lalah Hathaway & Vesta Perform "I'm Comin' Back" Live At BHCP (Part 5/10)

[@marfulton]

You can tell this meant so much to Vesta to be asked to sing a part in this song! her singing career has always been drastically underrated. They never gave her career a chance to flurish...she got bad deal after bad deal at a time when music was changing! R.I.P. lady...you are forever in my heart and ALWAYS one of my favorite female vocalist of all time!

[@muhammadal-farouq7342]

Vesta’s time as an R&B powerhouse would have certainly come around again.

[@NeenMove]

What a treasured moment...I still can't wrap my head around Lahla's dad being gone, let alone Vesta. They are so missed in this world.

[@mrtruthhurts2307]

She is killing this Vesta was a beast we all miss you Vesta

[@doinithard79]

Did she die

[@musicjunkie7549]

People slept on Vesta.. She had them Vocals

[@TheRetroWoman80]

They hated on her moreso, for no good reason.

[@MimiKeel]

May sound crazy, but This song by Vesta changed my life in many ways back in the day. I suddenly looked at life differently. Not because it was a love song (had nothing to do with a lover for me), but, because it simply spoke to me in a volume, tone and rhythm that moved my soul to the point where I felt the need to change my life. I was 19... and I did. God bless her.

[@denicoleyoung3788]

Mimi Keel something happens in life when your 19 I've noticed that. I'm 40 now

[@akaziaj]

Who would have thought that this selfless act by Lalah would be immortalized as a precious moment in time, never to be seen again. RIP Vesta.

[@MrAliquippawill1]

Just the mere fact that Lalah & Vesta shared a personal & professional relationship was great in itself.......the fact that these 2 truly God-gifted women shared the same stage for this 1 magical evening was certainly special......the fact that some individual had the presence of mind to VIDEOTAPE this performance......to be admired & appreciated for eternity........PRICELESS.

GOD bless that person forever...like the people in the Donny Hathaway Live audience ☀️☀️

VW A BEAST!!! Beautiful

[@vintagechick4086]

What a beautiful moment!!! Vesta was such a natural beauty. The love and admiration is incredible to see.

[@mysteryof7]

Vesta was so bad, my goodness! There were times when I didn't know if I was listening to her or Chaka, and we all know Chaka is a powerhouse. Vesta was one of our greats and she's greatly missed.

[@K_Renee]

Vesta was so underated

[@denicoleyoung3788]

They killed this song!! Thank you Gary Taylor for this wonderful song.

[@CatB1PYT]

VESTA has that song on her 1st album Once Bitten which I still own and the cassette. When Ms.Hathaway did it, I was overjoyed, because she did it properly in her own way with a twist. Vesta Never got the accolades she deserved, but True Fans knew who she was and what she could do!

[@keithhicks3262]

Exactly, and her death just doesn't sit right with, 😢😢😢

[@curtisanderson2901]

Vesta ate her part up!!!! R.I.P great lady!!!

[@CBrown9758]

Layla is just a glow of beauty.

[@staciejones6423]

R.I.P Vesta one of the greats

[@PhiVer]

Man, this is one of my favorite songs ever! Once listened to this song over a hundred times while pulling an all-nighter in college (drove my roomate crazy). I would have loved for those two to have recorded a version of this song...that was some of the best singing from Vesta, un-rehearsed but raw, all soul, heart and feeling...you can't fake that! Rest in Peace Ms. Vesta Williams, and thank you for blessing us with your love and music!

[@blaqbuddafli]

She died of am enlarged heart. Not drug use. Please get the facts straight . DIVA ALWAYS

[@linbonn4749]

@shydmples Vesta had one of the most BEAUTIFUL VOICES EVER!!! When she died before they finished her UNSUNG episode...I cried for hours!!

[@latanyahall6000]

Thank you for the information did not know what happened

[@keithhicks3262]

New album due out, unsung in the works, she had just said her health was great. Something, just don't sit right about her death......😢

[@coltanddj]

Vesta was my baby❤. Drugs did damage to her heart. She was in good health besides that, especially with the weight loss. 😢 l still love her.

[@ratgoon4584]

I still can't believe Vesta is gone. It kills me to tears. I use to rock so many of her songs, like : congratulation and once bitten twice shy. This was music and singers then. It is only a very small amount of singers today that can do that. She was just too young to die, it isn't fair. But as always God giveth and only God can take away. Rest well sweet Vesta.

[@BlueBella-ue4qu]

Not only is Lalah talented she grace and generosity. These young artists wouldnt call Vesta to the stage 'cause they know what would happen. This is what sisterhood is all about. Rest In Perfect Pitch Vesta. You were a real one! Queen Lalah see you when you come back to DC❤

[@jstanleymn]

#RIP Vesta. 5 years ago yesterday :'( Miss her so.

[@Anpay-d7e]

Rest in peace Vesta I miss your voice so much like Chaka Khan Always Will Love ❤ Lalah Hathaway

[@lisafoster8845]

Love it! Lalah is showing respect to Vesta

[@azzwelay]

I hate when people try to make everything into a contest. Any civilized person knows, that Lalah was honoring Vesta. This was not a contest. i htought the two of them singing together was a beautiful thing, both are accomplished musicians in their own right.

[@ciarrajohnson3849]

Only the Devil would sense competition when GOD is center stage. Cut it out and stop listening to his lies! Vesta knew what she was doing giving Lalah this song

[@azzwelay]

I agree 100%%%%%

[@Crob100]

Ray Alexander Humm I didn't think it was a contest...I missed that. Vesta had a bold voice and personality. Now when Lalah beckoned for her with her little finger and called her Vestas I thought she could have done that differently. Then she asked her if she knew the words to her own song lol. Now that I think about it, Vesta was probably trying to show her up lol.

[@1MarkKeller]

Crob you might want to reread the original comment and then read your own comment again. You seem to be looking for something that isn't there. It was a joke when she asked about the lyrics, and friendly banter when she called her Vestas.

[@Crob100]

I did re-read the original comment and I stand corrected, however regarding the rest of my comment it was MY opinion and MY observation. Whether banter or not I didn't see the finger thing as a friendly exchange. Neither YOU or I knows the true extent of their exchange/their friendship so all WE can do is speculate.

[@CassieJazz96]

Such a big voice comin out of a tiny lady. A voice and presence like Vesta's is forever missed. Btw, I get mad chills from Lalah's lower range, so warm and soulful.

[@mrfunky1768]

Right , it's like warmed over cognac with honey in it !!!!!!!!!!!

[@XxQueenChristinaxX]

LOL. Vesta was 5'9" and Lalah 6'.

[@CassieJazz96]

@@XxQueenChristinaxX wasn't Vesta only 5'3? That's what I heard. I saw it in a NYT article when she passed.

Two vocal giants

[@SDSFG45]

you can tell she had shit on her mind...its all in the eyes. Something was "broken".....but when she opened her mouth to sing, you understood VERY CLEARLY, why she was a world-class vocalist. She had range out the back door, and she could sing, anything. Those kind of voices dont just fall off the back of a truck. I miss her...
