Vanessa Williams1968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。 歌曲：Colors of the Wind 歌手：Vanessa Williams Think you own whatever land you land on 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 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 learn things you never knew You never knew Have you ever heard the wolf cry to the blue corn moon? or ask the grinning bobcat why he grinned Can you sing with all the voices of the mountains? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Can you paint with all the colors of the wind? Come run the hidden pinet rails 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 rivers are my brothers And the heron and the other are my friends And we are all connected to each other In a circle in a hoop that never ends or let the eagle tell you where he's been 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 Or whether we are white or copper-skinned We need to sing with all the voices of the mountains 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 下载地址 色中色论坛!滚刀肉出品!

我心中的最佳单曲，风之彩相当不错，以前找这歌很久了，后来找到了APE格式的，很开心。今天又听到了，更开心。
