    That one human being could have this much talent has always absolutely astounded me. The purest voice that I ever heard, and also the single only singer who almost always brings me to tears just listening to her voice.

      Me too; moves me to tears on most her ballads. She was a phenom much like Michael, but discovered later in her teens. Best female vocalist of my generation hands down. I still miss her.

    Holy smokes! So great to hear that song without a massive production behind it! That having been said, that was a LOT of music coming from a 4-piece band. Every member of the band absolutely killing it! Paul covering so many bases - but still plenty of space for the vocalist. ART. It all adds up to about the most awesome platform any vocalist could hope stand on, and Whitney hit it out of the park. (Will, ahead of his time, plays just a hint of his "It Ain't Oprah 'Til It's Oprah" riff toward the end, so that only iced the cake as far as I'm concerned.). Thanks so much for digging up this gem!
