Tressa passed the audition of the movie "The Five Heartbeats" with this song "Wind Beneath My Wings", most well known by Bette Midler's version for the soundtrack to the film "Beaches (1988). Mr. Robert Townsend discovered her talent.
I sooo LOVE TRESSA! She has a beautiful strong voice! I just wish that someone would've gave her a record deal! When she sings she makes you 😢 cause her voice is that beautiful! I Love You Tressa!
One of my favorite songs!!! 😭 I was wondering whatever happened to the lil girl in The Five Heartbeats movie!! Happy I found this clip! Now that I know her name, Tressa Thomas, I can Google her & hopefully find more of her singing & acting! Kudos for doing this, Robert Townsend! Well done!
thank you for posting this! I was only 14 myself when I saw this for the first time. It was SO powerful then, and it stayed with me all these years. she was amazing.
