Poll: Best Whitney Houston Disco

[Boodikka]

The terms "best" and "Whitney Houston" are mutually exclusive, unless used in the following examples: "Whitney Houston went shopping for the best crack." "Whitney Houston thought Bobby Brown would make the best merkin."
Now Cissy was a disco near-diva, with "Think It Over" and her Zager back-up work. Lord Of Flatbush, did you also see her on SOAP FACTORY in the summer of 1978?

I thought "How Will I Know" was pretty good. I also liked "So Emotional".

I truly forgot about mentioning Soap Factory for Cissy Houston's appearance on that show.

It was excellent! I'm going to the record show @ the Inn Hotel on 57th St. tomorrow and I'm going to look for the guy w/the VCR tapes. His files may contain footage from the Soap Factory as well as other appearances from Disco Artist's past.

Great point Boodikka!

How about "Whitney thought her carry-on would be the best place to hide her dope" or "Whitney and Bobby made the best effort yet to wake the dead when they argued with her family at the hotel"?

To seriously answer the question: are there instrumental mixes of any of her tracks? If so, they would get my vote....

As I mentioned before, the dub version of The Queen of the Night is excellent.

I will always love "All the man that I need", it is just an example of a true singer. Whatever happens in her life is her business. What will always stand is her enormous artistry.

I hope everyone is aware that "All the Man I Need" was done FIRST by Linda Clifford. And done BETTER: more soul, less histrionics.

[guille]

I always though it was Sister Sledge who did it first.

I was always disappointed by Whitney Houston. Considering the output of her mother, Cissy, and her aunt, Thelma - excellent records like "Think It Over" / "Don't Leave Me This Way" - I never think that Whitney came anywhere near to realising her potential.

OK - she was very successful from a commercial point of view, but from a soul / funk / disco point of view? - disappointing.

Sorry, folks ...

Hey J_P,

Don't apologize. A lot of people agree with you, and I'm one. When Whitney released "You Give Good Love", I was like, this lady has got it! Then, Arista turned her into a commercially slick, polished, soulless, MOR balladeer. "I Will Always Love You"... puh-leeze, I'm still gagging.
