Vesta Williams(born 1963, Coshocton, Ohio), Hit 80's R&B Singer, Found Dead at the age of 48 in an LA California Hotel Room

Williams scored a big hit with "Congratulations,"
Williams, who was 5-foot-3, eventually reached a size 26. She said her size was the reason she lost her recording contract.

"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."
