Houston’s most memorable performances will be released on CD

Whitney Houston‘s
first-ever live album, ‘Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances’
will go on sale on 10 November, featuring 32 of her best live
performances, including her first and last times singing on stage.
The album, produced by the
six-time Grammy Award winner’s former manager
Clive Davis, includes the ‘I Will Always Love
You’ hitmaker’s 1983 performance on
‘The Merv Griffin Show,’
where she sang ‘Home from The Wiz,’ a performance of ‘How
Will I Know’ at the 1987 BRIT Awards and a 2009 performance on ‘The
Oprah Winfrey Show.’
It also features songs that
the legendary singer performed live, but never recorded.
Speaking about the upcoming
album, Clive said: ‘Whitney’s Live CD/DVD will
stun everyone. It definitely shows why she was totally unique, absolutely in
the first rank of all time. For me, it’s been very
emotional. The set vividly confirms that there really was no one like her. It
also makes the tragedy of losing her so young so very painful. Watching the DVD
is a mesmerising experience. Her amazing vocals and the songs that have stood
the test of time combine to truly hypnotise over and over.’
The 48-year-old star was
found dead in a hotel room in Beverly Hills, California, in 2012.
Patricia Houston, Whitney’s
sister-in-law and President of The Whitney Houston Estate, added: ‘Whitney
truly had a matchless voice that not only made you feel good but made you feel
alive. The Whitney Houston Estate has worked closely with Clive and Sony Legacy
to make this the best album possible to honour Whitney’s
memory. It certainly was a bittersweet endeavour for all but one we
hope appeals to her legions of fans worldwide.’
Fans can pre-order the CD/DVD
from Amazon and the Whitney Houston official fan site to get their names on an
official poster.
