This club classic was one of Whitney Houston's signature hits. It had been remixed, remade, and covered countless times. This remake could be thought of as a tribute to the singer who passed away last year. The tribal, electro/house production by the Cube Guys is hard and driving. House legend Barbara Tucker does a fantastic job on the vocals, capturing the essence and spirit of what made so many love Whitney all those years ago. There have been many covers of Whitney songs, but few could do what Barbara did with this one. The only downside of the remake is that it isn't full vocal, with just a bit of the verses and mostly the chorus with a few powerful adlibs. Hopefully the radio edit will have all the verses. This is a great remake.
