There’s sad news today as R & B singer Vesta Williams, has died. Her body was found in a Los Angeles hotel room yesterday in Los Angeles, California although at present the cause of death is unknown while an investigation is taking place.
Vesta Williams (March 18, 1963 – September 22, 2011) was an American R&B singer. Originally credited by her full name, she has sometimes been simply billed as Vesta since the 1990s. Although Williams never had any albums certified gold nor any Top 40 hits on the Billboard Hot 100, she scored six Top 10 hits on the US Billboard R&B chart - including a #2 hit - from the mid 1980s to the early 1990s.
Vesta Williams said after her weight loss, “When I lost my record deal and my phone wasn’t ringing, I realized that I had to reassess who Vesta was and figure out what was going wrong. I knew it wasn’t my singing ability. So it had to be that I was expendable because I didn’t have the right look.” More recently she had become an advocate for the prevention of juvenile diabetes and childhood obesity.
