![Vanessa Williams - Save The Best For Last (Live) [1080p60 Remastered]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/vYjhzgyTQAc/mqdefault.jpg)
Vanessa Williams is one of the GREATEST comeback stories of all time! She was the FIRST black Miss America winner (which caused controversy at the time) who had to step down due to nude photos taken when she was younger. She was publicly shamed and lost her title. A few years later she re-emerged as an incredible singer and then a celebrated actress. Vanessa Williams stands today as an ICON who shows that perseverance and talent will see you through the storm.
Great comment 💙
@@juliewhite7469 Yea, the 'Eraser' movie was good too. Also starred James Caan as the bad guy.
I don't remember the photos being nude, but she may have been or at least scantily dressed but the truly provocative part of the photo shoot was the sexual positioning of the two female subjects. I actually think it was a great publicity opportunity and would not be surprised if it was strategically planned. It was exposed in like the last month or two of her reign as Miss. America. While I would have preferred that she did not do that, she did not diminish herself in my point of view at all, everyone has used sexuality to escalate and promote themselves but had a problem with it because she was black, that is my opinion.
I was around when she was crowned Miss America, and I don't recall it actually being controversial at all. I remember the constant drumbeat from people who *claimed* it was controversial because they were just *sure* that Middle America was aghast. But living in Middle America, I maybe only heard one person (an old woman) express any dismay over it, and her comment was met with eyerolls.
@@kokostevens1071 Actually the photos weren't only nude, they were somewhat graphic (very graphic for the time) lesbian sex scenes. I was only a kid at the time, but I remember the "scandal" they caused, and that it was the best selling issue of Penthouse magazine ever, because everyone thought it would be a collector's item someday. Only, as pointed out below, that issue became even more well known when the centerfold became perhaps the most famous porn actress on the planet, and even more so when they found out her entire career was done with a fake ID, and she was only 16 when she was in that Penthouse issue. So every issue of that "collectible" became child porn that could send the owner to jail.
Vanessa was the first Black woman voted Miss America. She is a very beautiful and talented woman. She also had a pretty good acting career. Thanks for your reactions . 👏🇨🇦
Right, she is very beautiful and talented. She got her Miss America title in 1984 but gave it up because of her posing nude in Penthouse.
Don't forget her Broadway career!
I saw her perform at the Miss California pageant when my best friend competed. She performed in crown and gown. I met her afterward backstage and she was very nice and beautiful. It was awful that they took her title just before her year as Miss American ended. Silly, really, as she is one of the most successful Miss America's after her reign along with Gretchen Carlson, Lee Meriweather and Mary Ann Mobley.
@@steveandme63 You’re right. She is very versatile.
@@Lakeshore14 She was also in Penthouse magazine posing nude with another woman and that's why her Miss America title was taken. I remember those pictures, they would be tame by today's standards.
America’s first Black miss America, Vanessa Williams is crowned in 1983. She would hold the crown all through 1984 until, At the very end of her reign, nude photos of her were printed in an adult magazine. She returned the Crown but became a well-known popstar and actress.
HUGE hit for Vanessa!!! 5 weeks at #1 in 1992. As soon as it came out, my ex told me this was going to be a huge hit. She was right. 🙂 This was the song that denied "Tears In Heaven" by Eric Clapton the #1 spot.
Wonderful 90s ballad (1992). This was her first (and only) #1 Billboard Hot 100 song, but it was by no means her only big hit. You should also check out "Dreamin'", "Running Back to You", "Love Is" (with Brian McKnight), "The Sweetest Days", and "Colors of the Wind" (from the movie "Pocahontas"). If you want to see one of her movies, she actually did a really cool action film called "Eraser" with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I think you'd love that film.
Vanessa William…. the first African American Miss America (lost her crown though) behind some craziness! She never lost that voice!
Yes! Dreamin' is amazing.
You said it all. Good post
Omgosh she is so multi-talented, it's unbelievable! I had the privilege of meeting her shortly after graduating high school. She had been invited to the church my family and I was attending at the time! (I was barely 17 years old at the time, and just remember being so emotional when she'd won Miss America, so you can imagine when that scandal broke, it hit like a ton of bricks!) Needless to say, It was an out-of-body experience meeting her, she was just so breathtakingly beautiful! What this scandal set out to do, did not succeed! She rose above it all, and became a superstar! Pure class! I love all her music, and her voice is so underrated IMO. I think u guys would also love her hip/hop side as well, with "He's Got The Look"! It's funky and upbeat, and she can dance! It's such a fun video to watch! 🥰
She also played and sang at the Queen of Trash in the Sesame Street movie; Elmo in Grouchland. My nephew was a baby when the movie came out, and he would watch it over and over again. I had learned that song from hearing over and over again, it was so good
Before recording this song, which came before the acting, she was once crowned as Miss America. She's had a long and varied career.
Vanessa's voice is so pure and easy no forcing it. She is a fabulous woman. Lots to her history look her up. too much to get into here.
Vanessa Williams has an interesting story to explore. She overcame a lot to become a worldwide star. She was the first black Miss America, but was dethroned because they found out that she had formerly posed nude for a photo shoot with another woman. She was really dragged through the mud for that at the time. People were relentlessly judgemental towards her about it. However, she got the last laugh by rising above it all and becoming a big star of stage and screen. I saw her perform on Broadway once and she was terrific!
later they asked her to sing the kiss America pagent.....she refused lol
Finally! The first African American Miss America, 1984 who conquered the music field with her beautiful voice
Absolutely 💯!! What the OP didn't explain is that she had her crown revoked because an adult film featuring Vanessa came to light featuring hot girl on girl action.
@@rusty9129 Not a film. Penthouse magazine.
The true story about Vanessa Williams having to relinquish her Ms America title after becoming the first black Ms America is that Penthouse Magazine published unauthorized nude photos of her and she was forced to step down because the panel didn't feel like that was how they wanted Ms America to be represented. She went on to have a great modeling, singing and acting Career and would marry and have a daughter with former L.A. Laker and NBA Champion Rick Fox. Fox went into acting as well after retiring from the NBA.
@@joeevett9007 oh that's right!!! I stand corrected. Thx.
@@BigBull45 ...and she was terrific with Swartzenegger in "Eraser"!
OH great great song. I don't give a damn what anyone else says she is THE greatest Ms America of all time. True Goddess.
She is a timeless beauty, for sure.
@@ronfoskey2417 yes, she is still a beautiful woman.
If you asked me to name a Miss America the only one I could would be Vanessa. She is beautiful and confident and a voice of a angel 🙏
She has SO many great songs, both fast and slow! Colors of the Wind from the Pocahontas movie soundtrack (won an Oscar for best original song)1, Comfort Zone, Dreamin’, Running Back to You and The Right Stuff are faves. Since you like Arnold Schwarzenegger, you should watch “Eraser” that stars him and Vanessa. It’s a pretty good movie.
By far my favorite song of hers is the duet she did with Brian McKnight, "Love Is".
Not many artists have a "signature song" but this was Vanessa Williams'. This Grammy nominated song hit No. 1 on the Billboard charts for 5 weeks in early 1992. Other hits followed such as, 'The Sweetest Days' and 'Colors of The Wind' which was part of the soundtrack in the animated film Pocahontas. The song won multiple Grammys and a Golden Globe award.
Possibly the most beautiful love song of the '90s. Love her!
The best song of the 90s ❤❤❤
Two things:
Vanessa Williams was well known for being on the hit television show Ugly Betty, and she also sang Colors of the Wind for the SOUNDTRACK VERSION of Disney’s Pocahontas.
I can't believe that Amber and Jordan didn't recognize her from Ugly Betty.
Her character on Ugly Betty was pretty epic.
Vanessa went through a tough challenge when she was removed as Miss America, and she overcame everything with her strength. She is an Amazing Person and Example of Human Behavior. She has a beautiful voice.
She starred with Arnold in Eraser
Jay open your eyes and enjoy this beauty! That’s what God made it for!
Vanessa is so talented, not to mention she’s absolutely beautiful. ❤️🇨🇦
Vanessa guest starred in an episode of fresh Prince of bel air, starred opposite Arnold schwarznegger in Eraser and other movie/TV projects. She had a successful singing career also.
Way, waaaayyy more than a pretty face. Simply incredible woman. She was also ms. America in 1984.
Singer, television, films, theater, Broadway, and the first Black Miss America! Super talented!
Vanessa Williams, with her beautiful blue-green eyes! This is my favorite song of hers.
Here her New Song this 2024 is LEGS ( Keep dancing ) ...
czcams.com/video/rGEs_X5Ngfo/video.htmlsi=Si0PqZPz0oVZALid
My mom, twin sister and I fell in love with watching Miss America in 1984. She was our pick. Fell in love again when this song came out. Met my husband in 98. He is a huge Lakers fan. Vanessa was married to retired Laker, Rick Fox then. She will be immortalized in Disney history for doing the main song release for Pocahontas, which is beautiful. Acting is icing on the cake. 💖
Many people know her for her role in the TV series Ugly Betty, where she was such a standout and did an amazing job. But she was also a Broadway and movie actress, as well as a pop singer. She's still doing movies, her last one I believe was a comedy horror for Hulu. She really seems like such a wonderful woman, and definitely accomplished.
Vanessa Williams was on Desperate Housewives too. My mother married my stepfather in 1993, this was their first wedding reception song that they danced to
Vanessa Williams and Brian McKnight "Love Is". A must listen....heart melting
Yes, but it has to be the version with the electric guitar solo & electric guitar at the end! They have to pick the correct version.
Yup!
I love Vanessa, she was the 1st black miss America! Groundbreaking!
@@mattbecham597 She identifies as Black. People seem to be forgetting in modern times that African Americans are still mixed even if both parents are Black because of that lil slavery history thing. Being Black in America ia also cultural. That is also part of her identity.
@@mattbecham597 she’s not biracial. Both her parents were black
@@mattbecham597 she is not biracial. Her parents, grandparents and great grandparents are black
@@breebree9319 and the white in her family is literally from slavery days. Her great grandmother was half black and half native American. Everyone else is black.
One of the REALLY talented Miss America's
Two words: Comfort Zone...thank you for reacting to Miss Williams! She, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, & Sade brought sultry to that party that Aretha, Patty, Dionne, Nancy, Diana, & Whitney were throwing. P.S. as many have mentioned, she was the first Black woman crowned as Miss America. Great actress...
Outstanding singer, terrific actress. First Black Miss America. Her Miss America Crown was taken because some prudish jerks didn’t like photos she took pre Miss America; then she showed them all!! 💪
She looked so beautiful when she won
Vanessa Williams the whole package Model ACTRESS Singer❤💯
Love!! Love!! Love!! Vanessa Williams. She has it all. Out of all her songs (Work To Do) is my favorite.
All her songs are heavenly! She was miss America also. Her voice is a real treasure!
Not sure if anyone has mentioned this yet but this song was recorded in one take. Amazingly talented woman.
Love this. Didn’t know.
Hey Amber, I mainly remember Vanessa Williams as the first black woman to be crowned as Miss America as well as being forced to relinquish the title after some nude photos of her were published in Penthouse magazine
I had forgotten that Vanessa Williams was a singer, but the second the music started I recognized the song. I liked that song very much and I always thought that Vanessa Williams was one of the most beautiful women in America. Perhaps these are all reasons she won Miss America. 😁😁👍👍
She is amazing her voice is like heaven on earth feeling you feel her vibes ✨️ that's a song 🎵 with emotions.
Former Miss America
OMG! The former Miss America?! I can’t believe my man didn’t know who she was! I can understand not knowing that she was a singer but not as the first black Ms. America?! Lol!
No hard feelings though. I’ll tell you this much, in her day every man wanted that woman! Every man not only want to meet her, they wanted to marry that woman! Across all color lines!
Oh yes! Vanessa Williams and her signature song! That along with “the right stuff.“ Every time I hear this song I think of the wedding episode from the NBC show a different world because the episode title was named “save the best for last.“
It’s all good because you know now! Have a nice day!😅
Hugely popular ballad from 1991. A #1 Pop and R&B hit in the USA. A smash hit around the world as well.
Love when she sang ..colors of the wind...from Disney's Pocahontas!!!
This came out around prom ‘92. So, yeah, a bit nostalgic for me.
In the early 2000s, she was part of the cast of "Ugly Betty".
You all definitely need to check out Vanessa's:
1- "Dreamin "
2. - "The Right Stuff"
I love this song definitely on my favorite's list. I remember when she won Miss America. She blew everyone out of the water during the talent competition. That was the first time I heard her sing. The acting came later. She is one talented lady. She has been several movies and television shows.
Love this song so so much! Dina Carroll, Don't be a stranger is a stunner if you've not heard it as well.
My favorite song is So Close!
She was such a popular singer in the late 80's/ early 90's, but she was the first Black Miss America, but her crown was taken because they found she had done a nude photo shoot (that was never published) years before. It was ridiculous, but she showed them. She became a best-selling singer, and a great actress. She starred in "Ugly Betty" for years, and was in a Horror Series (the name of which I can't recall), but was also on "Desperate Housewives". Others have mentioned some of her movies as well, and she has also done quite a bit of live theater.
It was actually Penthouse (not much difference). And yes it was ridiculous that she lost her title - I mean, it kind of confirmed that she was beautiful :D
Yes and she didn’t let it define her, she is beautiful and talented!
She actually did the photo shoot for a photographer friend, who ended up selling it to Penthouse.
@@zanychris And those pictures are tame by today's standards! Her worst "crime" is that she posed with another woman and that was just not done back then.
@@pdog547 still have my Dad's copy and the Madonna too.
This song was a huge hit. I love Vanessa. Great actress and singer.
God i had not thought about Vanessa Williams in forever!! Thank you!!
She has a beautiful voice.
Gee and I never stop thinking of her LOL😍
She has a beautiful voice, but she’s by far one of the most beautiful women in the world and possibly all time! Just my humble opinion 😊
I totally agree! I have always said so myself! If not the most beautiful, except, of course, for Mary, the mother of Jesus! To all the people that she had appeared too, they all reported how amazingly beautiful she is.
Vanessa was in the TV show "Ugly Betty". I knew her first as Miss America, then a singer. Her first record came out around 1987 or 88. I have some of her albums. I think she first started acting in Broadway plays, and then was in TV/movies. If you've seen "Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air", she was a guest star on one episode.
I heard y'all use the words "perfect combination" in your reaction. That's the name of a song by Stacy Lattisaw (duet with Johnny Gill). She was a singer in the late 1970s to the late 1980s. I think she was around 11 when her first album came out, but she later left secular music. She has a CZcams channel now and sometimes posts videos (usually church related). Some of her most well known songs are "Dynamite", "Love On A Two Way Street", "Attack Of The Name Game", & "Let Me Be Your Angel". Stacy is also one of the singers in the MLK Jr. tribute song "King Holiday". Stacy discovered Johnny Gill, who started out as a solo singer, but later joined New Edition after Bobby Brown left.
Don’t forget Desperate Housewives too!
I liked how she won Miss America and had her crown taken away due to controversy but still became successful with her music and acting.
This song Save The Best For Last by Vanessa Williams charted on Billboard chart on February 1, 1992 and went all the way to number 1 and was there for 5 weeks and this is her biggest hit.
I have always *loved* her voice. She doesn't do showoffy vocal runs and a lot of belting. No; her voice is just smooth and rich as butter.
Vanessa Williams is so much more than meets the eye. She studied musical theatre and she has been singing and acting all her life. I was lucky to sit down and interview her while Ugly Betty was on, but not about that role. She was a longtime member of Special Olympics Worldwide, and she came to D.C. to participate in an event to raise awareness about intellectual disabilities, having just finished an independent film in which she played the mother of a child with intellectual disability, played by a disabled actor. She was so thoughtful, so professional, so pleasant, so knowledgeable about Special Olympics and IDs, and she generous. I did ask about Ugly Betty, and instead of talking about herself, she heaped praise on her costar Michael Urie, who she insisted be given a full starring role as her assistant on the show. She called him a "genius" and said she has learned a lot from him. Mind you, he was younger and "green," and also gay (somewhat closeted at the time), and she seemed truly impressed and protective of him. It was charming and wonderful. I also asked her if she was planning to put out another album because I *love* her voice, as I said, and she seemed surprised I was even aware that she sings and she said she had been tinkering around with one but didn't know if there was an audience for her music at that point in her career. I was enchanted. She's an A+ person. You should bring more attention to her music, including her beautiful Christmas songs that she recorded for the "A Very Special Christmas" albums to benefit Special Olympics. ❤️
You haven’t heard much of her music. Vanessa has much range.
This song reminds me of my nephew and niece-in-law. It’s just like their relationship.
That amazing voice is what won her the Miss America Pageant in 1984. It's tragic that she made a bad choice as a younger woman and violated the Ethics Clause of her contract and had to give up the crown. She's a great comeback story and I've always admired her ability to persevere in the face of adversity.
Actress, Singer, Designer and First African American Miss America!
Two of my favorite Vanessa Williams movies are ERASER with Arnold Swartzeneggar and Dance With Me. Now my favorite all-time song by Vanessa is "Angels We Have Heard" with a full orchestra.
I love Dance With Me!
I really admire this woman. Quietly and graciously successful and accomplished. I like this song a lot, but I have her "Colours Of The Wind" saved to my favourites ! Would love your review of it.
One of my favorite songs.
Sheila E is a badass drummer! Check out her Glamourous Life video with her signature kick! She and Prince were romantically involved for a while and she still performs a lot of his music as a tribute to Prince.
I have such respect for all she endured, stayed strong and came out on top. Beauty, talent and determination. Again, mad respect for Vanessa Williams. Next listen to “Love Is” with Bryan McKnight. It’s another very well done ballad.
Clicked on this one fast, I love, love, love this song!
I would say her best song is "Love Is" with Brian McKnight. She has some more up tempo hit songs like "Comfort Zone" and "Work To Do" , a Disney movie hit song with "Colors Of The Wind", and a good Christmas album. As an actress she goes by Vanessa L. Williams because there is another actress who was already known as Vanessa Williams. Vanessa L. Williams was a regular on the TV show Ugly Betty, and her biggest movies were "Eraser" and "Soul Food".
A beautiful song by a beautiful woman. I was always intrigued by her after her fall from grace. This was her great comeback!
She has an amazing voice!! Dreamin’ is my jam! She is gorgeous!! Her Christmas album Star Bright is one of my favorite Christmas albums!
I’m so glad other people commented on here about Miss America. By the time this song came out, she had been singing professionally for about 8 years or so. She is amazing another one to watch is THE SWEETEST DAYS BY VANESSA WILLIAMS
When she won Miss America, her talent was singing! At one time she wanted to be a Broadway star, but Life had another path for her.
She was also Miss America, guys!
The voice of an angel. She is a personal fav. Her Christmas albums are some of my favorite as well and get played in my house every season....
Vanessa has been around for such a long time. Her voice is so pretty and soothing. Actor, singer, dancer and she has great Christmas albums. “Eraser” with Arnold S (1996) and “Dance With Me” (1998) with puertorican superstar Chayanne are just a couple of her movies. In “Dance With Me” she sings the title song in English and in Spanish with Chayanne plus she dances so beautifully in it. Worth a look. 🔥🔥🔥
“Dance with Me” is a great movie if you like dancing. A bunch of professional ballroom dancers played all of the extras. Lots of fun!
Vanessa is such a beautiful talented woman acting and singing.
One of the most beautiful songs. That piano intro is iconic.
This has always been a favorite song of mine since it came out.
So glad you guys have discovered Vanessa! She's gorgeous and has such a fantastic voice. Her other big ballads are "Dreamin'," "Love Is," and "Colors of the Wind." For upbeat dance songs, I'd suggest "Running Back to You" and especially "Work to Do" for female Friday.
Yes.
A pure beautiful voice and song and always been one of my favorites .
I believe she was classicly trained.
*Vanessa Williams* - *_Dreamin'_* great song
Vanessa Williams is a singer, actress, and fashion designer. She's known as the first African-American woman to receive the Miss America title when she was crowned Miss America 1984 but resigned her title in 1984 amid a media controversy about her nude photographs being published in Penthouse magazine. She then had a successful career as a singer and actor, receiving multiple Grammy and Tony award nominations as well as a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. She received a public apology from the Miss America CEO during the 2016 pageant for the events of 1984. She has a beautiful voice and many fantastic songs and yes she has been in a number of makeup commercials. You should do her Disney Pocahontas song "COLORS OF THE WIND".
Honestly one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen, plus she can sing :) It is so ridiculous how she lost her Miss America title, like who cares?
She lost her crown but she ended up becoming a huge pop star, television and was a success on broadway.
They ended up apologizing to her and her mother years later during the pageant.
The title rules cared. It was the only right thing to do!
She was such a beautiful woman and had a great voice. ✌️
She is still pretty gorgeous! :) I had to google to be sure she had not passed, given your past tense terms. LOL Happy to report she is still with us.
@@marym.9037 No she’s alive, my mistake I just haven’t heard her lately so I kind of said it in the past tense.
jay- open your eyes- appreciate ALL of Vanessa- the voice and the beauty!
Incredibly beautiful woman and song. The stars aligned for this one.
Other songs you need to peep by her or “colors in the wind“ and “the right stuff.“
As for movies, check out “eraser“ with Arnold Schwarzenegger and “soul food“ which she costars with Vivica a Fox and Nia long.
Vanessa Williams has a beautiful voice! Please check out The Right Stuff and Be A Man by her because they are 🔥🔥🔥🔥! Vanessa was the first Black Miss America in 1984!
Oh her voice...is captivating. First time I saw her was high school in the mid-80s, I was head over heels.
One of my favorite songs...beautifully sung by the very beautiful, Miss Vennesa Williams.
Love this song since I was a kid in the 90s
Always 1 of my favorites
Vanessa was a beauty Queen won Miss USA. Started singing she's on the Pocahontas soundtrack started acting in movies and series. She's a whole vibe
She was the first black miss America, she had plenty of hits , running back to you, work to do, the right stuff, dreaming,, please check out more of her stuff guys
Venessa William not only can sing she can also act. If you get a chance, She did a great job in Eraser movie. She is a truely gifted person.
I'm a hard rock girl at heart, but always loved her voice. I think she is one of the most beautiful women ever. She may have been a Cover Girl back in the day, Jay may be right there. And of course, as others have mentioned, the first African American Miss America, 1984 I believe.
I will say this about her. When she ended the song and sing "you went and saved the best for last" and closed her eyes and that strand of hair falls in her face then looks at the camera I am done. What an insanely beautiful woman.
I saw her in concert with an interview back in June in NYC. She sang a couple of her hits, some jazz standards and show tune songs. She closed with this, her #1 hit. She was excellent, a fine performer. She went through a lot and her interview was compelling.
Great song from the early 90's. Was nominated for song of the year at The Grammy's
Hey you guys 😘💕🤗💛I absolutely loved your reaction to this song. I grew up with her music and there's a brilliant duet she recorded with Brian McKnight called ' love is ', which I'd definitly recommend to listen to. Such a beautiful song 💛 Thank you for your uplifting & just wonderful content and for being you 💋 Huge hug 🤗
I was driving trying to think of that dang duet. Saw your comment at the stoplight. Thank u lol!
@@elizabethmcmurray968 omg thank god you stopped at the stoplight to check 🤣My heart girl!!! Ya I just love that song. That vibe is just everything. I hope you had a good week. Tgif ☺💃🎶🎉🥂
Beautiful song! 💖
Looove that song too… she has some very good songs… I love Comfort Zone too… but have you seen when she came back to miss America as a judge 32 years later they had her sing it was so beautiful and amazing she sang oh how the years go bye… check it out if you haven’t seen it… love J and Amber’s reactions but also look forward to the comments… and yours is spot on thanks : )
Wow, this song brings me all the way back to grade 7. The girls would play this song over and over at parties. You’d think I’d be tired of this song but that angelic soft voice never gets old.
Vanessa Williams is a class act. I had the good fortune of hanging out with her and her family when she was making her first record. After the whole Miss America blowout she really focused on making music and transforming her life. Once she made it I saw her briefly at a Grammy party and she stopped her whole entourage to chit chat with me for a minute till the PR lady gave me stink eye. My favorite Vanessa story was about the time we were drinking champaign in the hot tub on sultry LA night. Of course I omit the part where our kids were running around the pool, jumping in and splashing water everywhere. Fun times. Save the best for last brought back the memories. Thanks for Female Friday's.
Vanessa was the first black Miss America in 1984! She’s had a very good music career! Love Is w/ Brian McKnight (another artist you need to check out, Back At One and One Last Cry are beautiful), Running Back To You and Colors Of The Wind from Pocahontas! She was also in the TV show Ugly Betty!
One one would care so much today, but Vanessa Williams was stripped of her crown as a result of a scandal over nude photos that were published in Penthouse Magazine in 1982. She became the first Miss America to resign in 1984. But she said it was the Black community who supported her.
So ridiculous, as if the pageant itself isn't overtly sexual at times too. She seemed to recover well though, she has had a decent career. Good on her.
I hear a short snippet of this song every four hours when our wall clock chimes (in rotation with 3 other hit songs) and I always think of Vanessa Williams. Every time. Saw her in person once and she is absolutely stunningly beautiful. Great pick!🤙
Thank you so much for reacting to this song! My wife and I had both dated a LOT of people before we were married in 1992. So this song has DEEP meaning for my AMAZING wife and I. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this reaction!!!! Damn, my wife is INCREDIBLE! After 30 years I just hope to deserve her someday.
