Vesta  Once  Bitten  A&M  music  vid  1986  

Description:

NOT from any vampire movie, though lyrically the parallel themes are there, this was the longtime b-vox extraordinaire's debut single for A&M that managed to end up a UK top 10 single - and with good reason. Written by veteran r&b man Dave Crawford, who gave Candi Staton her disco makeover (and Dee Dee Warwick her second best single), this is seemless and perfect R&B/Pop of the old skool variety - and a great cover for one of the young belters of today.....

Vesta had alot of personality. I always felt they should've givin her a sitcom. I remember some of her interviews she seemed to have a very strong sense of humor on a comedic level.

Her best song was "It's You" in my opinion. 2) Don't Blow A Good Thing 3) Once Bitten Twice Shy 4) Sweet Sweet Love

A lot of that passion that we are missing in today's singers manifested and was nurtured in church choirs. And good old fashion creativity has been thrown away for whom has the most sex appeal to kids. Hell if our parents were suffering through my generation of music late 70's/80's I can only imagine what my kids will have to reminisce on.

Case in point...this video by Vesta, most of Anita's videos, Patti's videos, Stephanie Mills' videos, Regina Belle's videos, Shirley Murdock's videos, Phyllis Hyman's videos..they ALL had this presence and natural feel of the song/single that they performed in their videos til their body language and movement SHOWED it...like they really felt what they were singing...all the joy, pain, confusion, hope, fear, loss, triumph..etc.

Another thing that I notice between black female artists' videos between then and now is that if you really look at them in the videos, you can see that they had this natural "feel" for the song that showed in their body language...they gave us this charismatic "presence"...when you see their videos, you don't think "oh, the director TOLD them to look this way..make that face..etc."...unlike artists NOW lol...it just LOOKED way more authentic and geniune then.

One of the best videos of the 80's. It was hilarious and the song was great.
