I think she is mixed race.

@@Eagle4448 Vanessa Williams family has white in their bloodline but she and the rest of her family identity as black or African American.

Extremely underrated indeed Samuel. Vanessa is SO MUCH MORE than just a pretty face!!! She's a fantastic actress and a phenomenal singer as well. Like you said her singing prowess can't be denied. I've loved this song since it came out 31 years ago and I love it even more now. Wonderful and magical in every way. Thank you LORD for Vanessa.

@@Wushock there is only one race, the human race. I dont want to give you a detailed lecture about DNA but ... We came from Adam & Eve or whatever 2 first humans you want to believe in (who evolved first, man or woman ? Truth is both had to be together there at once. We are devolving and not evolving. Look at a wolf and a poodle, you can tell its the same kind of animal but the poodle has lost alot of information, thats not evolution, thats devolution). They had the perfect gene pool and probably were brown. Children are a recombination of genes from their mother and father and you pretty quickly get all kind of variety. Now if 2 come together who were born white then they lost the ability to reproduce brown/black babys and thats it. There really isnt any real difference between us, we are all one blood. For example the color of your skin is dictated by how much melanin you produce but every human has it, some more and some less. Dividing races is a concept by the "Elites" to control us and to keep us down (divide & conquer). When 2 billionaires meet and one is black and one white they dont care, they just make business. Just the stupid masses always and everyday make an issue out of it, fueled by mass media ....

Rick Foxx was lucky dog! LOL

Yes she is ☺️

Absolutely 💜

She is!! And Chad, Rick Fox BLEW it with her!!

​@@HunterBidenCocaineBagHe was and cheated on her and cheated himself.

The song, "Save The Best For Last", had originally been written for Steve Perry of the rock band Journey. He passed it by. It was then reworked for a female singer and marketed to Bette Midler, Whitney Houston, and Barbra Streisand, who all turned it down. Then, it went to Vanessa Williams and it became her breakaway hit song of 1991 and 1992 and beyond. There is an entire episode of the free podcast, "Where Were You In '92" devoted to this song and features additional inside information and an interview with Vanessa herself. That tells the story of this enormously popular song that resonates to the present.

that’s a good suggestion! 😊

Exactly

Yes they were it was the eyes 😍

Lynda Carter played on show called Partners in Crime with Loni Andersen The first episode of show featured Vanessa Williams

​@@darrylmilling2747Yes, that show had been in 1984 and it was the television acting debut for Vanessa Williams. Lynda Carter was already known from the 1976-1979 "Wonder Woman" series and Loni Anderson from the 1978-1982 original version of "WKRP In Cincinnati" and her marriage to actor Burt Reynolds as well.

@@jasonburger3533 I so remember watching Wonder Woman

@@bobby12348 The features... eyes alone can't make someone beautiful.

I always think of PRISCILLA when I hear this song. it was a gorgeous ending for that gorgeous movie.

1984, not 1989.😉

​@@rrubio6660She had been Miss New York, had been crowned Miss America 1984 in September 1983, but resigned due to scandal on July 23, 1984, did not have to, but did so, anyway, kept her crown, and made it through to become a popular singer, actress, and author. Her talents and beauty helped her make her mark and beyond.

@@jasonburger3533 I know what happened then. You don't need to tell me.

@@rrubio6660 It was not good at the time, but the Miss America organization formally apologized 32 years later, in 2016. Vanessa Williams had already done well, but that further vindicated her. It is unfortunate that the 1984 events o had occurred; in my opinion, she should have been able to serve out her term, which was nearly over, anyway. She went onto a glorious career, anyway, despite those events, but I think that they could have been more nice about that.

@@jasonburger3533 Again, you don't need to tell me her story. I already know it.

Not to mention, what a voice!!!!

I understand, HBK is not the only one.
