from RUN TO YOU (single)
written by Jud Friedman & Allan Rich
As a tribute to the late Whitney Houston we have picked the gorgeous ballad, “Run To You” as our song for this week. “Run To You,” co-written by hit songwriters Allan Rich and Jud Friedman, was the fourth single released from the mega-successful soundtrack of the movie, “The Bodyguard.”
from I LOOK TO YOU
written by Diane Warren
In the nineties, pairing Whitney Houston’s immense vocal talent with the musical genius of David Foster created some of the most successful pop songs of all times like “I Will Always Love You” and “I Have Nothing.” Those songs sold millions and gave both Houston and Foster awards and accolades.
From I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU (single)
Written by Dolly Parton
Whitney Houston beautifully sang Dolly Parton’s “I Will Always Love You” for the soundtrack of the1993 blockbuster movie, “The Bodyguard.” It is one of the most popular and successful songs ever. Produced by David Foster, “I Will Always Love You” reached the top of the international charts by selling over ten million copies worldwide.
From THE PREACHER’S WIFE
Written by David Wolfert & Sandy Linzer
Released in 1996, “The Preacher’s Wife” was Whitney Houston’s third movie soundtrack following the stellar successes of “The Bodyguard” and “Waiting To Exhale.” From those two monster sellers came the perfect adult contemporary triumphs of “I Will Always Love You” under David Foster’s production and the soul-tinged sounds of Babyface’s “Exhale (Shoop, Shoop).”
From ENRIQUE
Written by Diane Warren
“Could I Have This Kiss Forever” was released in 1999 as part of Enrique Iglesias’ new collection simply entitled “Enrique.” This album saw Julio’s son moving away from the typical Latin atmospheres of his first records while following Ricky Martin’s successful trend of a more international dance/pop sound.
