Suzette Charles (b. 1963) is an American singer and entertainer. She represented New Jersey in the 1984 Miss America competition. She won the talent competition but finished second overall to Vanessa Williams. When Williams was asked to resign her crown after nude photographs of her came to light, Charles was declared to be the second Miss America for 1984, although her reign lasted just 54 days.
Charles, who already had many credits in advertising and educational television, has gone on to a career as a singer, entertainer, and television personality. She has acted on the American television program "Frank's Place" and performed on "This Morning", a British televison show. She narrated the motion picture "Beyond The Dream", and has appeared in theatres with talents such as Stevie Wonder, Alan King, Joel Grey, Lou Rawls, and others.
Her musical recordings include the hit single "Free To Love Again" as well as "After You're Gone", "Don't Stop All (The Love You Can Give)", "Every Time We Touch", "Just For A Minute", and others, as a solo artist and with The Suzette Charles Band. Her producers have included Pete Waterman (who called her "the greatest voice I have ever heard") and Michael Raye.
Her father, Charles, is of Italian descent; her mother, Suzette Adams, is African-American.
