Whitney Houston’s legacy lives on. Nearly three years after her death, Legacy Recordings will release her first-ever live album.
Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances will arrive November 10 as a CD and DVD featuring music spanning the legendary singer’s two-decade career.
The posthumous release will include 16 live songs on CD and 19 performances on DVD. Fans will be treated to Houston’s national network television debut appearance on “The Merv Griffin Show” in 1983, where she sang “Home” from The Wiz, to her unforgettable rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” at Super Bowl XXV in 1991, to her emotional 2009 performance of “I Didn’t Know My Own Strength” on “The Oprah Winfrey Show.”
“She was without question the greatest vocalist in the world. I want history to know that,” Houston’s mentor Clive Davis said during his appearance on “Today.” “This CD/DVD will establish that there was no one like her. It’s a phenomenal album.”
The album comes with the blessing of Houston’s family, including her mother Cissy, who helped Davis assemble the tracks.
“Whitney truly had a matchless voice that not only made you feel good but made you feel alive,” said Patricia Houston, Whitney’s sister-in-law. “The Whitney Houston Estate has worked closely with Clive and Sony Legacy to make this the best album possible to honor Whitney’s memory. It certainly was a bittersweet endeavor for all but one we hope appeals to her legions of fans worldwide.”
