Vanessa Williams Discusses Her Return to Music After 15 Years (Exclusive)

Vanessa Williams spoke with ET about her recent single and musical plans for the future.

The actress was in attendance at the 50th annual Good Neighbor Gala in New York City on Thursday -- an event benefiting the non-profit organization Community Access-- and she spoke with ET about her new single, "Legs (Keep Dancing)," and its viral music video. The single dropped late last month, in which Williams pokes fun at her age in the lyrics while also inciting the envy of decades-younger viewers by flaunting her flawless legs and on-point dance moves in the accompanying music video. Williams explained to ET why Community Access-- which is an organization devoted to providing employment and housing opportunities to those struggling with mental health issues and homelessness -- is so important to her, and why she felt compelled to participate in the benefit.
