Vanessa Williams1963年3月18日出生于美国纽约的达里镇(Tarrytown)。从小就深受百老汇(Broadway)音乐演出的熏陶。1985年她进入了锡拉丘兹(Syracuse)大学攻读音乐戏剧。她在影视和歌唱事业上都颇有建树。但她的成功来之不易,自从她成为首位夺得“美国小姐”(Miss USA)的黑人后,有关她的流言就一直不断。而后来,她开始了音乐事业方面的追求。成为飞翔唱片公司(水银唱片公司Mercury Records旗下的子公司)的签约歌手。她的丈夫,Ramon Harvey,亲自担任她的经纪人。然而,在此期间,她的音乐天才并没有得到很好的发挥。她音乐事业的真正开始是1989年其专辑The Right Stuff推出之后。这张专辑共收录有包括He's Got the Look、Daring I 等8首歌,并使其获得了NAACP Image Award大奖。而1991年推出的第二张专辑The Comfort Zone中单曲“Save the Best for Last"使她再次夺得该奖项。且该专辑摘取了两个白金销量。她的第三张专辑The Sweetest Days由于刚好第三个孩子出生,推迟了三年直到1995年才完成。在这张专辑中表现了更高的创造力和斗志。同年为迪士尼动画片《风中奇缘》(Pocahontas)演唱的主题曲《风之色彩》Colors of  the Wind反应尤为火爆。1998推出了其出道十年的精选集Greatest Hits--the First Ten Years。 Vanessa Williams的倩影也频频出现于银幕和荧屏。她曾先后出演过Motown Returns to the Apollo、Kid Who Loved Christmas(1990)、Stompin' at the Savoy(1992)、 Another You(1991)、Light it Up(1999)、 闪箭(Shaft)(2000)等,其中Motown Returns to the Apollo曾荣获Emmy奖。
  Vanessa Williams用她的成功证明:我不是徒有外表!

Colors Of The Wind

  You think you own whatever land you land on
  The earth is just a dead thing you can claim
  But I know every rock and tree and creature
  Has a life has a spirit has a name
  You think the only people who are people
  Are the people who look and think like you
  But if you walk the footsteps of a stranger
  You’ll learn things you never knew
  You never knew

  Have you ever heard the wolf cry
  To the blue corn moon
  Or asked the grinning bobcat why he grinned
  Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
  Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
  Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

  Come run the hidden pine trails of the forest
  Come taste the sun-sweet berries of the earth
  Come roll in all the riches all around you
  And for once never wonder what they’re worth

  The rainstorm and the river are my brothers
  The heron and the otter are my friends
  And we are all connected to each other
  In a circle in a hoop that never ends

  Have you ever heard the wolf cry
  To the blue corn moon
  Or let the eagle tell you where he’s been
  Can you sing with all the voices of the mountain
  Can you paint with all the colors of the wind
  Can you paint with all the colors of the wind

  How high does the sycamore grow
  If you cut it down then you’ll never know
  And you‘ll never hear the wolf cry
  To the blue corn moon
  For whether we are white of copper-skinned
  We need to sing with all the voices of the mountain
  We need to paint with all the colors of the wind
  You can own the earth and still
  All you’ll own is earth until
  You can paint with all the colors of the wind
