before she was the fashion diva wilhelmina slater on the recently cancelled ugly betty, she was slaying the entertainment business by proving that success is the best revenge. after becoming the first black miss america in 1984, scandal forced her to relinquish her crown and many thought that was the end of her. fast forward four years later to 1988, she was one the hottest new r&b artists on the scene with a platinum selling album. she repeated the success in 1991 with her sophomore album the comfort zone with included the #1 pop record save the best for last. however, my fave tune was running back to you, the lead single from that album. this top 20 tune, especially it's accompanying video captured all of the sass, style and beauty that is miss vanessa.
