Brings me back to my childhood. I adored this lady and looked forward to all her award show performances. As the decades pass and you see other rising singers, Whitney was special and so beautiful.
One of the most under appreciated R&B songs in the past 40 years. From the cord progression, to the bridge, to how the end of the song rides out. Classic perfection!
Kashif produced this song & yes the outto is smooth as butter😍But I’m sure Clive was like -dont make it too funky now 🤦🏽♀️. He wanted her to have that crossover appeal.
@@devildee9286Yes, to crossover to the white audience it was EXTREMELY hard, and it wasn’t as easy as today on which it seems boundaries do not exist. Back then you had to have a professional construct your image and it wasn’t even 100% guaranteed for fame. Because a white artist could just steal everything you have/Had.
This is why she had the biggest selling debut album of all time, and this album was the first to go Diamond for any female. She really had that fire back when she came out I swear no one could get enough of her!! We wanted more and more and more!
Can't go wrong with Whitney! IF you didn't live during the 80s or 90s you wouldn't think she was REAL but she was. She was the real deal...no lab, no trickery. She had the voice, the looks, the talks (could do an interview like nobody), the personality, the success, the respect.
What give Whitney Houston the title THE VOICE she wasn't just a great singer and with a unique sound. She wasn't afraid to show the ability of her vocal skills and take her voice to places a lot of singers are afraid to do.
Nah dude that’s not even top 20 of her best live performances! That’s how great she is- as freaking awesome and well sung that is, it’s not even in her top of tops!!! She the best of the best!! Pure talent
Good to see you Jack. I'm here for your reactions to Whitney..nothing like her live. I know you did a couple of songs from Welcome Home Heroes BUT that whole concert was amazing...would love to see your reaction on it.
You are so right about the bet awards & soul train awards of today very boring..Whitney was always an excellent beautiful talented proformer which these awards show don't have any more.
To be honest.. we didn't appreciate Whitney enough. The same soul train awards that adored her here...boo'ed her a few years later. I was a kid but I remember hearing she was a sell out.. everywhere! That wounded her. Unfortunately now that she's at rest we fully love, appreciate and miss her. It's how it should've been while she was here.
The voice. It's sad how bad she was treated by some Blacks because she wasn't doing R&B. I was a child back then, but I do remember her getting booed at one of the Soul Train award shows. But she kept shutting everyone up with that voice and success. I miss her
She actually done R&B but had to popizied her sound to appeal to mainstream audiences but regardless of the fact she was and always will be a tremendous talent.
Whitney had some not great experiences at Soul Train awards, being booed by the crowd when nominated for best R&B artist awards in late 80s, were some who thought her to be too “pop” music. When Anita Bsker won over her and others she said kind words to her and Houston family in her acceptance speech. Whitney’s voice was crazy good
If I recall (and I may be wrong) this was THAT night. This is the stage from Bobby's performance which I know was from that night so...I think it was. SMH that's just still wild to me. How anyone could fix their mouth or heart to boo this woman let alone THAT...THEEEEE voice is incomprehensible.

Such an amazing vocalist…#RIP
My favourite Whitney song. Her vocal performance in this song is unbelievable. She dials it back when needed and then let’s it’s rip. Masterful.
Whitney one of a kind. Unequivocally one of the most amazing singers ever.
Whitney was simply magnificent!

The lady that introduces Whitney on this video is her cousin another singing legend Dionne Warwick.

@@gabrielmcdonnell8699 💜💜💜
NO PROBLEMMM💜💜💜
On this performance Whitney reminds me a lot of the singer Tevin Cambell but with a much stronger voice.
And this was the inaugural Soul Train Awards, very first one. I remember it aired live in the middle of the day on a Saturday.
Rip.🙏 To The Voice Whitney Houston.
Classic!

It’s a shame how we treated her. I think that played in her downfall too
She actually done R&B but had to popizied her sound to appeal to mainstream audiences but regardless of the fact she was and always will be a tremendous talent.
She went to the R n B bag once the 90s came

So good!!!!
One of a kind
You showed us this clip and you was like “they don’t even have singers anymore” bro my thoughts exactly,Rihanna,Beyoncé?Who are they?What do they do?
I recently heard one of these youngsters put Taylor Swift up there with Whitney. 🤨😄😆😂🤣😂
Taylor wish she could
LOL
😂😂😂😂😂😂
It should be a crime to compare Taylor Swift to Whitney Houston.
I have stoped watching todays award shows….no comparison. My jam❤
We don’t have singers anymore 😢
You should do 'A song for you' Whitney houston live
