"The Right Stuff" is a song recorded by American singer Vanessa Williams from her 1988 debut album of the same name. The crossover single was very successful and became a top-five hit on the US &lt;a href="Hot%20R%26amp%3BB/Hip-Hop%20Songs"&gt;Hot R&amp;B/Hip-Hop Songs&lt;/a&gt; chart, as well as making the US Hot 100. "The Right Stuff" also went to number one on the US Dance Club Songs chart for one week. It peaked at number 71 on the UK Singles Chart and re-entered the charts in 1989, this time peaking at number 62 with a remixed version. At the 31st Grammy Awards in 1989, the song received a Grammy Award nomination for Best Female R&amp;B Vocal Performance, but lost to Anita Baker’s “Giving You The Best That I Got”.
