So Sad, loved her voice, once bitten twice shy was a hit here in the UK in 1986.

I remembered she was a frequent guest on Donnie Simpson's Video Soul show on BET in the 80's. She was very funny and always had Donnie cracking up.

Very sad news. I saw her on the Mo'nique show a month or so ago, and she didn't look well. Condolences to her family.

[Kamasu_Jr]

Bummer news. Vesta's version of Sweet, Sweet Love" is an all-time faVORITE. May she RIP.

I just recently saw her on the Monique show also. She looked, vibrant, young, and healthy. My fave was a song they use to play back in the day. I think it was "don't you blow a good thing baby" or something like that.

Wow... Just finished cleaning up my rip of her 4U 12" yesterday too... :[[

Rest in Peace, Vesta.

Such sad news. I had the pleasure of meeting her once and she was a joy to be around. Here's a clip of her joining Rahsaan patterson & Pachelle Ferrell on stage.
