American R&B powerhouse Mariah Carey

has marked 30 years to the date May 15, 1990, when she made her debut as a

professional musician.

In a series of tweets on Friday, May 15, Carey

called her debut single Vision of Love the perfect first meeting her Lambily,

fans of the G#7 whistle singer, quoting the opening parts of the bridge.

“May 15, 1990 – the day we first

“metâ€. Thank you lambily for giving me a lifetime of love and dreams

realised. I’ve realized a dream, And I visualized, The love that came to be,

Feel so alive, I’m so thankful that I’ve received, The answer that heaven has

sent down to me!â€

Vision of Love, co-written by Carey when

she was just 17, debuted at number 73 on the Billboard charts, but two months

later, in August, spent four weeks at the number one spot.

The orchestral ballad showcased Carey’s

outrageous vocal range and the official music video, with lots of close-ups, provided

a great look at the singer.

Carey built off the song’s success and

became the top selling female artist of the ’90s.

Happy anniversary to one of the greatest

singers to ever do it!
