Vanessa Williams

Artiestinformatie

Geboortedatum	18-03-1963
Land	Verenigde Staten

Vanessa werd in 1983 uitgeroepen tot Miss America, maar moest die titel weer inleveren nadat bekend werd dat er naaktfoto's van haar in omloop zouden zijn.

Naast modellenwerk is ze ook filmactrice en zangeres. In 1988 scoort ze haar eerste hit met The Right Stuff, dan tot nummer 11 in de Top 40 weet te komen. Haar grootste hit scoort ze vervolgens in 1992: Save The Best For Last wordt een top 3-hit. Eind 1995 scoort ze een alarmschijf met het liedje Colors Of The Wind, uit de Disneyfilm Pocahontas. Het haalt nummer 9 in de Top 40, en is haar (voorlopig) laatste hit in Nederland.

Songtekst

I was standing at 7:15 waiting for my baby's car
Just then out stepped the driver of a limousine
And asked if I was going far

I said I've got my mind made up
I don't wanna leave him, baby, 'cause it's clear to me
That it's just too tough to find another lover like mine

With the right stuff
The right stuff, baby
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff
Oooh no, with Mr. Right, say (Nananana, hey, hey, hey)

Just Friday 'bout a week ago
This fellow called me on the phone
And said: "I live in Paris, don't you want to go?
I know you must be all alone"

Well, it'll take more than a fancy trip
Or a chauffeured limousine
'Cause I ain't never seen no-one
Who could give me love like this
The other fellows don't compare

To the right stuff
The right stuff, baby
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff
Oooh no, with Mr. Right, say (Nananana, hey, hey, right!)

He's the only to give me that lovin'
'Cause next to him there is no other one
He's very sexy and oh so sweet
And he knocks me off my feet, say it!

Oooh yeah, help me sing it again
(Nananana, hey, hey, hey)

I need the right stuff
I got to have the right stuff
I don't wanna miss out on the right stuff
Say nananana, nananana (Nananana)

Oooh!

Ha

Oh
Wait a minute
Wai-wai-wait a minute

Right stuff

(Right stuff)

Said I need it, baby
(Right stuff, baby) Ooohooohooo
(Right stuff) Nanana
(Nananana, hey, hey, hey)

I need the right stuff
I got to have the right stuff, baby
I don't wanna miss out!
(Right stuff) Have you got the stuff?
(Nananana, hey, hey, hey)

Right stuff
Said I need it, baby
Right stuff, baby
