Ms. Vesta Williams what a talent one of Ohio's hidden treasures! this have to been the best song in my opinion Vesta singed. What a lost her life cut short! She went through so much!
Vesta was someone I knew well as she adopted me as her industry son and helped to guide me through my own music career! I was there for her and she was ALWAYS there for me. I miss you mama! UGH I still have her voicemails!...........
Every last saturday in july i have a purple party giving tribute to my fave artist. she was such a lady. california radio 102.3fm KCAA 6:301-7:00pm we will be streaming.
Wow, that had to have been the saddest Unsung episode ever, Vesta was so happy and giggly at the beginning and at the end was her funeral. We never know that day, hour or time, all that matters is the final destination, with the Lord. R.I.P Vesta...
Was a little over a year ago when I learned of Vesta's passing. Such a beautiful woman with an extraordinary voice. Truly a gift from God. Thank you for the wonderful legacy of music you left for us. Rest your beautiful soul, Ms. Vesta.
Another loss among our R&B legends. She has been unappreciated by the industry. Thank you our dear angel for your beautiful music that we all have enjoyed. RIP Vesta!!!
Good Lord, I just watched Unsung and I didn't know the end was gong to be her funeral. Life is just so precious. Sometimes I cant deal with reality.... (tears)
I am still saddened by the passing of this angelic voice and artist...The One and Only Ms. Vesta Williams. She was so underrated that it is unbelievable. The industry showed this raw talent no respect. Yet, I'm giving my respect and much love to you...Vesta. You will be missed much and may the angels in heaven be blessed with your sweet voice and may you truly RIP. Gone to Soon but will Never Be Forgotten. I can't wait to see her story on UnSung. Thanks for sharing. She has fans who adore her.
I'm so glad i had a chance to see Vesta, Miki Howard and Chante Moore in concert at the house of blues in Los Angeles up close in 1994 i believe. 3 gorgeous sisters up close. Vesta was small and shapely that night...she was so stunning up close.
I just got through looking at Unsung this evening. So I wanted to stop by to say thank you for bestowing your wonderful voice to your listeners. I cannot believe it's been 4 years since you left us. I hope that you are keeping them entertained in Heaven along with Whitney, Michael, Billie, and all the other entertainers of the past. Rest in Peace, dear girl. Rest well.
One of my All Time Favorite Female Songstress. I still have her in constant rotation to this day! I can tell her voice at the start of a first note. Phenomenal range. Commanding stage presence. Child, she is truly missed. ❤️
@educatorpoet just watched unsung...how strange that she was doing the show right before she passed! she was amazing and beautiful and truly not given the support by the music industry she deserved.
Go to Itunes put in Vesta Better Days and it comes up. She has on a red shirt. Its the front of the new cd cover...For her CD Seven. I bought its. Its a beautiful record I play it everyday.
Vesta, XOXO! When I first heard you, I felt exhilarated because I felt real singers were coming back in "pop" R&B, just real talent in current music at that time. You won't read this message, May you rest in peace,. But I hope your diehard fans will appreciate this comment. Please forgive my expression, but you were the shit!
i work with dying people everyday and the stories I hear are no where near the underground. they are always talking upward and pointing upward. some of my client have told us time and date. you just make sure you get to look up.
Different news programs commented on Vesta's death, ET, Inside Edition, X-Tra, CNN, BET. Sometimes the program would mentiono her passing and others did a small bit on Vesta's life. Sometimes they paid tribute at the end of their newscast. It was publicized.
@rickames So true its like certain ones like when Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes died not to far apart they talk about Bernie for days but barely heard anything about Issac and he could sing. Like Whitney when she was living never heard much of her music or her on tv specially BET but when she died BET blow it up with her life etc. so fake. On the Oscars and the Academy they recognizes all they can.
@iicingOnTop why are you on Vesta's memorial site tripping because other people are feeling positive about whatever they want. Take your negative comments somewhere else and chill.
You are right. But if you are telling people their loved ones are not in heaven then you should show the scripture that says "dust we are - and to dust we will return". Wouldn't that make God cruel if he took our loved ones from us just to have them smile down on us - when we would much rather have them here on earth with us? Your comments are correct but you have to show from the Bible what God says. Don't leave people hanging without "accurate knowledge".
Hypertensive heart disease. There were other issues that contributed to her bad heart but you probably know this if you knew her. I know people who worked with her in the 80's.
I didn't know she was dead! Why is it that our people are not advertised of their deaths, like white performers. When I heard about 'Barry White', he'd been dead for two months. Now, fine Vesta been said since 2011 in September? Jessshh

Where's the interview she did on unsung?
Very nice tribute video. What is the name of the editing program that created it?
no song yet for Vesta Better Days
@rickames So true its like certain ones like when Bernie Mac and Issac Hayes died not to far apart they talk about Bernie for days but barely heard anything about Issac and he could sing. Like Whitney when she was living never heard much of her music or her on tv specially BET but when she died BET blow it up with her life etc. so fake. On the Oscars and the Academy they recognizes all they can.
I'm sorry, you are correct. I should have provided scriptural back up to assist.
Did she have an open casket ?
whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa,she died???????
Not sure will post when I find out
@iicingOnTop why are you on Vesta's memorial site tripping because other people are feeling positive about whatever they want. Take your negative comments somewhere else and chill.
