Throwback Thursday: Vanessa Williams: The Right Stuff ...

Remember Vanessa Williams? 1st African-American Miss America who had to give up her crown like the next day to the 1st runner up who also conveniently happened to be an African-American. 

Ms. Williams was Miss New York and the other girl whose name nobody really remembers was Miss New Jersey. Ms. Williams had to relinquish her crown when nude photos of her were published in Penthouse. Booo! Booo!! Whatever! That contest was rigged anyway. That's my opinion and you're not going to change it with facts.

Anyway … after all the brew ha ha died down, the young lady had gotten married and her husband … at the time … was instrumental in helping her get an album released. Here is one of the most popular songs. Sharing the YouTube video because it's a great pick for throwback or Throwback Thursday. Enjoy!!

Music Lovers: Spotlight on Vanessa Williams

Remember Vanessa Williams? 1st African-American Miss America who had to give up her crown like the next day to the 1st runner up who also conveniently happened to be an African-American. Ms. Williams was Miss New York and the other girl whose name nobody really remembers was Miss New Jersey. Ms. Williams had to relinquish her crown when nude photos of her were published in Penthouse. Booo! Booo!! Whatever! That contest was rigged anyway. That's my opinion and you're not going to change it with facts.

Anyway … after all the brew ha ha died down, the young lady had gotten married and her husband … at the time … was instrumental in helping her get an album released.  Her comeback video was The Right Stuff (1988).  The girl has talent.  She wouldn't stay down!  Kudos to her!  She has stayed busy professionally singing and acting.  She was even invited to perform at the Miss America 2016 pageant.  In her personal life, she became a mother of 4 and has been married 3 times.  As of the date of this post, she is in her late 50s, but she still looks fabulous!  Even though she has starred in many films and TV series, I enjoy her singing.  My favorite song is "Save the Best for Last".
