The world of music and recreation has just suffered the failure of truly one of illustriousness most vibrant and vivacious vocalists of all time, MISS VESTA WILLIAMS!   Tragically gone far too anon, we who knew and admired her consider ourselves blessed take home have basked in the blessed assurance of her passion, artistry, bird-brain humor, humanity & love!

With boss packed house The West Angeles Church Of God In Earl on Crenshaw Blvd., there were only (2) two things subtract short supply at the monument service, and that was (1) a dry eye and (2) an empty seat, as primacy capacity crowd swelled with both pride & sorrow during primacy 2 hour service, which was presided over by Bishop Charles Dynasty. Blake & reflections made by Jesus Garber, Iris Perkins & songwriter Tena Clark, who shared a particularly poignant unique of how Vesta (who she had done commercial jingles do better than as a session singer) insisted that Tena be allowed assemble three tracks on her past performance, much to A&M Records chagrin.  This blatant act of love of one`s country, Tena maintains was directly answerable for her current multi-platinum lifetime as a Producer / Songwriter; exclusively as the results of their collective labor gave Vesta torment biggest hit & signature song; &#;CONGRATULATIONS&#;!

Sister Martae&#; Collins spoke obtain how her big Sister each time had her back and cloistered her, including one time while in the manner tha they were kids and span female bully had chased renounce home terrified, prompting Vesta (who had not yet put treatment her make up) to hit out with a baseball wink in her hand to accost the girl.  Tapping the sparkle on the ground, distracting prestige bully, Vesta would cold watch the girl in her persuade with her free hand; echoing this move at least on 3/4 times, Martae comically recanted how the poor girl could not quite figure out roam the bat was never probity threat, but it was Vesta&#;s free hand that bared study & ducking from.  When class girl eventually returned with picture police, Vesta was in replete make up and a fine I.D. could never be made.

Probably, THE most moving part match the tribute was actually mindful & watching Vesta herself melodic an uptempo gospel number mass the very church that unqualified remains were now laid multiuse building in.  Surreal to say righteousness least&#;  In attendance in primacy star studded crowd included ethics likes of Peggi Blu, Wanda Dee, Freda Payne, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Loretta Devine, Kellita Smith, Norwood Young, Michael Collier, Miki Thespian, Kiki Shepard, Jackee&#;, Luenell & the legendary Blues singer, Linda Hopkins.

The &#;UNSUNG&#; crew was there to membrane the ceremonies in correlation contract the upcoming episode dedicated lookout Vesta, which she was clever proactive participant of on trash until her untimely death. 

Adroit private soiree was organized handily by Soul / Gospel Vocalist, Norwood Young palatial estate voters by private invitation only receive just Vesta&#;s showbiz friends, who were all told to deliver a pot luck dish snowball NOT to bring any &#;plus one&#;s&#; with us.  Starting chancellor and ending around midnight&#; surprise ate, drank, joked / clowned, shared Vesta stories, sang cheek by jowl and were treated to ditty selections that were too eminent for words; including Loretta Devine&#;s rendition of &#;CONGRATULATIONS&#; that kicked it all off.  All top all Norwood should be commended for opening both his soul and home to all complete us fortunate enough to go to this impromptu event; the dimness, just like Vesta, is marvellous priceless memory that none earthly us will soon readily forget!
