2. Vanessa R. Williams - American gospel music singer.
1. Vanessa Lynn Williams (born 18 March 1963 - Tarrytown, New York, U.S.) is an American R&B/pop/theatrical singer and actress. In 1983, Williams made history when she became the first woman of known African descent to be crowned Miss America. Her regime as Miss America came to an early and abrupt end when she resigned her title under pressure when Penthouse published nude pictures of her that Hugh Heffner, publisher of Playboy, said he turned down because "they clearly weren't authorized" and that publication of surprise nude pictures without her consent "would be the source of considerable embarrassment to her."
However, she has since gone on to a successful entertainment career. Williams secured a record deal, and released her debut album, The Right Stuff. The first single, Dreamin', was a chart success, and the album reached gold status and earned her three Grammy Award nominations, including one for Best New Artist.
In addition to "Dreamin'", her most notable chart successes have included the songs Running Back To You, Love Is, The Sweetest Days, Colors of the Wind, The Comfort Zone, Just For Tonight, and Oh How The Years Go By. Her biggest hit to date is Save the Best For Last, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks from March 21 to April 18, 1992. In total, Williams has sold six million records and received fifteen Grammy Award nominations.
In 2005, Williams released her eighth studio album, Everlasting Love, a collection of covers of her favorite 1970s songs.
Vanessa made her comeback in 2006 in the US hit series Ugly Betty in the role of Wilemina Slater. She also made a cameo appearance as a sports journalist in The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, where she gave birth, the baby being delivered by Will Smith.
She's also been seen in a few episodes of Desperate Housewives Season 7; she then joined the cast and remained a series regular until the show ended in 2012.

Vanessa Williams Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Just what are you thinking you look so forlorn
Maybe you're thinking that I have been untrue
So let me assure you and tell you the truth
I'm not one to fool around
The mistake that I made was not meant to hurt you
I needed somehow to try and find out
How I really felt inside
Still in Love I'm so
Still in Love
I'm gonna be all you want me to be, cause I am
Still in Love ooh
Still in Love yeah
I'm gonna do all you want me to do
Don't ask no questions won't tell you lies
It's something that happened in which I can't disguise
I needed somebody to take me away
From feelings of doubt which in my mind delay
But you've always been the one
And there are days when I know I should have told you
So please don't cry
'cause I'm gonna try
To make you believe in me
And I know I'm
Still in Love I'm so
Still in Love
I'm gonna be all you want me to do
You must be the one for me
'cause as hard as I try
I just can't you go
So that you know baby
Please, please don't go
'cause you are just all that I need
And I know I'm...
Still in Love I'm so,
Still in Love
I'm gonna be all you want me to be, cause I am
Still in Love ooh
Still in Love yeah
I'm gonna do all you want me to do
The song "Still In Love" by Vanessa Williams talks about a relationship that is going through a rough patch. The singer reassures her partner that she is not cheating and that her recent behavior was just a mistake. She tells her partner that she needed time to figure out her feelings and how she really felt inside. She promises to be all that her partner wants her to be and do everything that they want her to do. She asks her partner not to leave because her partner is all that she needs.
The song is about trust and communication in a relationship. Sometimes, we may make mistakes or act in a certain way that can be misinterpreted by our partner. It's important to talk it out and reassure them if we want our relationship to work. The lyrics suggest that sometimes, we need to take a step back and evaluate our feelings before we can fully commit to our partner. The song also highlights the importance of being honest and being willing to do what it takes to make the relationship work.
