Hitmaking '80s R&B star Vesta Williams, who often went by just Vesta, has reportedly been found dead in a hotel room in Los Angeles.

"When I lost my record deal and my phone wasn't ringing, I realized that I had to reassess who Vesta was and figure out what was going wrong," she said. "I knew it wasn't my singing ability. So it had to be that I was expendable because I didn't have the right look."

The singer went on to lose 100 lbs, and got down down to a size 6, while finding something of a second career as a songwriter and session singer.

When I 1st heard 4U back in the 80s I was a fan. A voice almost as powerful as Patti's. Didn't know till I got home and saw it on the front page of my browser. One of my all time favorite singers. There's gonna be a Vesta tribute on my stereo tonight. Playing all her music all night. R.I.P. Vesta. You will be missed
