"The Right Stuff" is a song by American singer and actress Vanessa Williams, released as the first single from her 1988 debut studio album of the same name.

"The Right Stuff" also went to number one on the Billboard Dance Club Songs chart for one week.

The groove has a definite Jam/Lewis much, but with the dry synthesized percussion and the effective use of vocals and sampling, the overall atmosphere is irresistible and bound for the clubs.

The song was featured in the premiere of the third season of RuPaul's Drag Race, being performed by contestants Venus D-Lite and Shangela in a "lipsync for your life".

It was featured again in the eighth episode of the fifteenth season in the second round of the Lip Sync LaLaPaRuZa Smackdown, being performed by contestants Luxx Noir London, Anetra and Jax.
