    It's all SOUL. Her heart on full display. Whitney was feeling that song and leading us through - it's more improvisational and deep than a lot of her repertoire. Conversational and Colossal, all at once. A mesmerizing performance that just happens to be a virtuosa vocal display. Sitting down. ❤

    Whitney was trained in the black gospel tradition of singing. The way her band accompanies her is the way the band in church would accompany the choir and lead singer. It’s not “ in time” per se. It’s on rhythm. It’s hard to explain to someone who wasn’t raised in it but if you go to a black baptist church you will see it.

    Whitney's band would improvise with her - but if you notice, she does little hand movements and gestures in certain performances when she's going to sustain a note, cut it off, etc. But her musical director was the legendary Rickey Minor (he went on to be the music director for American Idol and Leno).

    Whitney at her best! Notice a couple of things here:
    1. She generates an incredible amount of passion, emotions and amazing control, while not over' singing- very rare qualities
    2. She usially become the song, whenever she performs.
    We have to remember that in addition to her God given unmatched talent, this diva of all divas had in her time, some of the best producers, song writers and let's not forget, her amazing inmatched backing band. No wonder she is the owner of so many incredible songs!

    Listen when you grow up in the church you learn very quickly how to be musically on one accord. Especially if it was Wednesday night praise and worship service and Sister Mabel decides to stand up and just start singing a song nobody else knew without any warning. 😂 The congregation, the band, and the praise/worship leaders all had to just catch the vibe. 🤣

    YAAAASSSSSSS……..you finally saw/heard this rendition. It’s so chilling and heartbreaking at the same time. Every time I catch it, I get goosebumps. You talked about the accompaniment and at one point after her big note…you can see her looking at the pianist….presumably to get the timing right on when she has to come back in with her singing.
    Every time I hear this I find myself thinking it’s such a shame she and that voice are no longer with us. But that makes me appreciate it all the more.

    In addition to her natural gift as a vocalist, Whitney's singing is spiritual upliftment.
    No one dead or alive sings or can sing like this. The original was sung by George Benson, and it's theme is based on the gulf war.
    Her vocsls here are impeccable and even more incredible, as this performance was an impromptu one- was never planned!!
    A highly under--rated feature of Whitney's singing is the fact that she is a great story teller, which is one of the factors responsible for her ability to hold an audience's attention. Very few vocalist could have interacted with an audience in the same way she did!!
    The greatest singer that ever lived!!

    I love Whitney, have always loved Whitney and will always love Whitney, but am not particularly a fan of this cover. It's too drawn out and she's doing too much and the actual beauty of the song is tossed aside. She actually recorded a cover of this many years later, which was better constructed but her voice, unfortunately was not as in good condition as it was here. Nothing compared to Donny Hathaway's original. Pure perfection.
