The booming, soulful voice of Vesta Williams wasn't always well served in the urban contemporary production scheme of the 1980s, but she got a chance to cut loose and soar on the single "Sweet Sweet Love." That song was this album's salvation, and it helped keep her hit streak alive and bring her solidly into the '90s.
Her 1988 release, Vesta 4 U, produced the Top 10 R&B hits "Sweet Sweet Love", "4 U", and "Congratulations", with the latter peaking at #55 on the Hot 100 chart and #5 on the R&B chart. "Congratulations" was Vesta's only single to enter the Hot 100 chart. The album was also her most successful, and her only album to appear on the US Billboard 200, peaking at No. 131.
