    "Colors of the Wind" is another good song of hers. She was the first African-American woman crowned Miss America 1984 in 1983. However, a scandal arose the following year when, a few weeks prior to the end of her reign, Williams learned that Penthouse magazine would be publishing unauthorized nude photographs. She resigned due to the controversy. She became very successful in spite of the controversy. Thirty-two years later, Miss America CEO Sam Haskell offered her a public apology (during the Miss America 2016 pageant) for the events of 1984.

    She's the first celebrity I interviewed, and she was extemely kind, engaging and intelligent. She was starring in 'Ugly Betty' at the time and was so gracious, especially to her costar Michael Urie, who she called a genius, and our interview focused on Special Olympics International, whose board of directors she had been a member of for over a decade. She's a really warm-hearted person in addition to her singing and acting talents.
    And having said all that, I LOVE her voice. It's so warm and velvety.

    She is so gorgeous and talented. This beautiful song reminds me of my nephew and his wife. They were best friends all through school, then, after they graduated, she had a brief marriage that amounted to nothing. She came back to town and my mother and I ran across her working in a store we were in. She talked a long time,, asked about Jacob, and gave us her number to give to him. Right away they reconnected , and before you know it, they married. Their oldest child, their daughter, will turn 18 next month… she’s a wonderful woman, and he really did save the best for last. He went through a few girlfriends, but none equaled Laura.

"Save The Best For Last" was released in August 1991 on "The Comfort Zone", then as a single in early 1992, as it spent 6 weeks at #1 and charted throughout 1992 and performed at the Grammy Awards in 1993.

    This is one of those rare songs that instantly sounded, almost from the moment it came out, like it had been around for ever - it's such a timeless sentiment, chord progression, lyric and style of singing. This I think was reflected in the way that here in the UK it got used on adverts right from the word go and made it onto umpteen love songs compilations throughout the 1990s and doubtless beyond. (A very similar one in all these respects, from the same time period and which would be worth reacting to too, is Get Here by Oleta Adams.)
    It's the easiest of listens, because Vanessa never oversings it, it's kept very simple, and although it's sung very sweetly it always steers the right side of falling into saccharine. The production and instrumentation manages to avoid being too 'thin' and synthetic, or too mushy and overblown, unlike many other songs of the late '80s and early '90s era. It made #3 in the UK singles chart, and although never had any other significant hits here (her Disney song Colo[u]rs of the Wind was a minor one in the mid-'90s) this classic remains an airplay staple to this day.
    One caveat, though - don't take Vanessa at her word on astronomical matters. Alas, it's a hard fact that the sun _never_ goes round the moon...

    Vanessa Williams initially gained recognition in 1983 as the first African-American crowned Miss America (1984). However, a few weeks prior to the end of her reign, Penthouse magazine announced it would be publishing unauthorized nude photographs of her in an upcoming issue. Amid growing media controversy, Williams resigned as Miss America in July 1984 and was replaced by Suzette Charles. She went on to become a singer/actress.

    This was early 90s but in my mind it's an honorary 80s song, because when I was a kid there were ballads like this in the charts every other week, half the time from someone you'd never heard of before, half the time you never heard of them again. By the mid-90s it wasn't really happening anymore to that same extent and I don't suppose it ever will again. I was like 7 years old and just fell in love over and over with these completely astounding singers (who often happened to be drop-dead gorgeous, too). What a time, man.

She took charge of her life, accepted responsibility for her actions and then went on to be probably the most successful Miss America in history. She is amazing!

She has so many great songs that you can listen to this is one of my favorite it’s called The Comfort Zone which is more up beat R&B

    I was so crazy about this song when it was popular. I had always loved Vanessa, but this song just took it to a different level. The message is so deep, but the song is just SO beautiful. I think part of the reason the song was so popular (if I remember right, it was #1 for 4 weeks) is because a lot of people had been in the same position, but I don't think it was something that was so openly expressed, and people really related to it. The song is so beautiful, you wouldn't expect it to be about something so deep. And yes, her EYES are ridiculously beautiful.
    You really should check out another song of hers, "The Sweetest Days." I love it as well, but not as much as "Save the Best for Last."
