Amazing vocals. She had the power in her vocals, and she had those tender cadences as well that made it a magical performance. It’s true she had an enchanting, mesmerizing presence. I miss her. R.I.P. Whitney. Thanks to the patron who requested this performance.
I’ve never liked the studio version of this song but Whitney’s live vocals in the performance are prob the greatest of ALL time. This isn’t trainable talent…this is ANOINTED talent.

Beautiful Whitney Houston
Written by the great George Benson. His version is the one I grew up hearing. Check him out on the track Masquerade
