[@valenciamarks3334]

Wow!! I've been reminiscing quite a bit lately. I don't know how this just popped up in my feed but I'm glad it did! I was at that concert and Vesta was phenomenal! I met and hung out with her on numerous occasions when she use to hang out with my boyfriends band...General Kane. She was a lot of fun and would sing her a$$ off!! This is before she got a record deal. We all knew she was going to make it because her voice was a force to be reckoned with!! My heart broke when I heard of her passing. Rest in peace Ms. Vesta Williams!!

[@perrysaunders331]

I really miss this women, she was the complete package. Sexy, Funny, Whitty and Charismatic!

[@joannehines7806]

I loved Vesta & her fantastic sense of humor!! Unforgettable talent & vocal giftedness!! RIHP Vesta!! 💘

[@CHEEKBEATAH]

Cracked me up when she told me “don’t rub.” This was my girl. This woman was THEE absolute truth. NO ONE besides Vesta could sound exactly like Chaka… so much that at times it use to have Chaka tripping. Those were the days. I use to drag my cousin Zon around with me to hang out with her. Love and miss you V.

[@toreybrooks3963]

Tripping how??

[@goldenlady1213]

I was surprised that you never really hear Chaka mention Vesta who had a phenomenal voice beyond description !

[@tammiedunbar6166]

Vesta and Lisa Fisher were once background vocalsist on tour with CHAKA during the late eighties.​@@goldenlady1213

[@hanselhiggenlooper9948]

Amazing! I still love Vesta to this day!!!

You can definitely hear her Chaka influence in her vocals,yet still maintaining her signature style!🗣️🗣️🗣️🎤🎤🎤🎶🎶🎶

[@sherrygrant317]

sounds a little like Chaka

[@marceloorellana5726]

She sang background for Chaka for years. Among other singers.

[@LB4Sure10]

That's what I've always been saying... They could easily doing background for each other.. And maybe "Anastasia" as well... Cause she Definitely have the same SOUNDS like them... And i honestly Love and Like the Sound/ Tone these Awesome Singers have . When I Play their Music.. Believe me... I Always had to Pump Up the Volume.. And still do ❤✌🏼From The Netherlands.

[@sharkslovejazzfunk1]

Great performance from Queen Vesta

[@MercOne]

Thank you so much for posting this. Vesta was my favorite female artist growing up from about the mid 80's till about 93' or so, then it got really crowded.

[@CodyCole80]

She was definitely one the greats during that time, but with Whitney, Anita, Sade, Miki, Stephanie, Angela (Winbush,) etc., it’s hard for me to call a favorite. We had so much talent back then. I can’t even name one vocalist today that can stand with those ladies. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Not until this moment did I ever realize how much she sounded like Chaka. She was truly a hell of a singer. I love the orchestration of certain songs ESPECIALLY 'Tell Me' and one other where she's driving a winding hwy in a Corvette. I know she's gigging in heaven! INSHALLAH
