      I admire both Aretha and Whitney so bad that I don't mind if people put one or another first in their own ranking. To me both of them are as good as it gets. There's a realm of music that I just call “greatness”, and I don't feel bothered about comparing them anymore at that level, it's all greatness. It's the same with like Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie, both are greatness, and for me it's as good as it can ever be, so no comparison anymore.

    Whitney did a lot for BeBe and CeCe by pulling them further into the mainstream. They were mainly known in Gospel until she recorded this song with them. She went on the road with them, singing background and accepting NO money. She filled in for CeCe in Russia when she left the tour. She tirelessly promoted and supported them. When CeCe went solo, she brought her on stage to sing at VH1 Honors, then co-wrote "Count On Me" for her and CeCe to sing, which helped her 1st CD sell. RIP Whitney

    Whitney Houston was, is, and always will be The Greatest Voice of All.
    Her lack of insecurity whatsoever around other extremely talented singers and her graciousness to share her talent with them are just two of the many, many testimonies to that.

      That song is about WHITNEY. Charlie Murphy told Howard Stern that Eddie broke up with Whitney because she loved to "party too much." In her 2002 interview with Dianne Sawyer, Whitney kept calling what she loves to do "partying".

Whitney also had a personality like no other , it shined through on camera and her interviews. her facial expressions from 7:08- 7:39 are priceless when BeBe and CeCe are talking she always had internal thoughts during interviews and it showed through her body language.

    "We're in gospel music to stay," Cece. Now she wasn't lying... 25 years later, look who's still holding up the Light. Crazy to hear both her and Whitney that young and how their voices matched and harmonized. Neither one of them struggled or yelled or vamped like so many do nowdays. They could do all that, and every once in awhile they'd pull out a run but they didn't need to. They could just flat out SAAANG.

    These 3 and the music of The Winans helped me get through college in the late 1980s. Being on campus alone on the weekends, far from home and family, no transportation, and poor; I’d turn on the radio, study, pray, and ask God to “Help Me Hold Out.” The encouraging messages in their music is not only uplifting, but gives hope and feeds my soul. 🙏🏼
