She was a combo Angela Winbush & Chaka. Underrated and unappreciated. Great live performance.

Vesta is hilarious! A comedienne and a diva rolled into one! Her vocals are on point and she can enrapture an audience with 10 lbs of hair on her head and a sequined blouse! RIP!

[@ceeceetracey9839]

Vesta's UNSUNG was hilarious and heartbreaking all at once (because she passed away a few weeks after filming it) but she said "I had put on a lot of weight but my big ass could still dance." She had me rollin.

It's soon to to be 2018 and all I can still say is wooooow! Vesta was so talented and beautiful. Gone too soon,for sure.

[@shytiarah6315]

Tiffany Landry yesss Definitely Gone Too Soon. When she performed she owned the stage with that beautiful voice of hers and had such a beautiful presence to match her beauty. Wish she’d gotten a chance to see how much love she’s getting after all these years from New and old fans

[@deborahmann2926]

This hands down is one of her BEST performances. I saw this back in when I was in high school and became an instant fan. She worked the hell out of that audience. Who are the 12 people that gave this a thumbs down? What do they know. Miss you Vesta!! You were definitely unsung.

[@mahogani1000]

that just gave me LIFE!!!!!

I remember watching this back in high school. Everybody thought she sounded like Chaka. She was definitely my favorite 😍 love and miss you MVW rih 🙏🙏

[@lamarwebb9955]

Such an incredible vocalist

[@buyunostore]

Vesta was the real deal. I've seen her live and she really lights up a crowd. I had the pleasure of meeting her. She was confident and yes she did sing backgrounds with chaka khan, gladys knight and many others before going out on her own. The industry didn't appreciate her. Back then heavy set women were not embraced like they are today but it was timing. When she finally lost the weight she passed away. Had she lived forget about it she would have won grammy's, had a tv show because she was a comedian too. Girl u were the Best...Miss your Fire......
