Black Music Month

Finding a way to deflect her 'Miss America' debacle singer/actress Vanessa Williams' turned her attention to the Black community and focused on her singing and acting abilities.  She released 'The Comfort Zone' cd ... The Comfort Zone is the second studio album released by Mercury's Wing Records Label on August 20, 1991.

The album peaked at #17 on the US Billboard 200 and reached number one on the Billboard Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart.

The first single off the album was "Running Back to You", a '70s funk-influenced uptempo track, which sampled a song from The Breakfast Club. The song peaked at number one on the Billboard Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and number eighteen on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. "The Comfort Zone", the second single, peaked at sixty two on the Hot 100, but number two on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. "Save the Best for Last" reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for five weeks straight. "Just for Tonight", was the fourth single from the album reaching number twenty-six on the Hot 100, followed by a cover version of the Isley Brothers hit 'Work to Do" which achieved moderate success. The album sold 2.8 million copies worldwide at its time of release, with 2.2 million of those sold in the US. It has since been certified three times platinum in the US and gold in Canada, making Vanessa Williams, the most successful 'Miss America' ever.
