Now I have nothing against the Isley Brother's version because that's my favorite too, but I love the way Whitney sung this song though!!! This instrumental, does something to me, like every one else said "SING IT WHITNEY!!!!"
Omg... I was 15 when her debut album came out and who back then didn't want to be Ms.Whitney Houston or sing like her? I will always love these songs from that era and reminisce about the fun times.
Whitney Houston's vocals were so beautiful in her prime that just the angelic vocals alone propose a more than substantial argument for her legacy in the realm of R&B (top 10 personally). There was simply not a song she couldn't sing... what a gift for one to possess. There will never be another WHITNEY HOUSTON.
@Elegance469 .. you are right, it was not a stand alone single, but on the B side of SO Emotional. I owned a copy of the 12" and it had the extended remix... it starts with the beautiful back ground vocal uuh uuh. (1:50 on this version) and ended with a killer sax solo by kenny G.....
This is my first time seeing this, it is really Great! I also love this song. i like the beautiful picture. ThankYou for making her look real Good. She is one of my favorite singers in the world. I am actually crying***listening to this song and what she is going through at the present time. I know she will come around. THANKYOU!!!
Had a Horrible and frustrating day today and I must say....I'm a singer and I have never NEVER heard this version sung by Whitney.....and I'm in awe and my frustration has completely melted away. I'm in complete relaxation mode and I'm just in heaven listening to this angel's voice.....sang it Whitney...SANG it.
She bring a smooth jazzy feeling to this song..a great compliment to the Isley Brothers version. if they were honoring the Isley's, she would have been my choice to do this song.
@josephmanners I agree dude as singers just dont sing like this today & this version of the song can't be bettered as Whitney Houston's style of singing it is second to none!
este es la mejor cansion q se pueda escuchar , te hace pensar en momentos de feisidad y desear compartirlo con alguien especial , gracias witney por brindar un sentimiento tan especial en mi..
My personal favorite Whitney's Non-single track of the 80's - really stunning lyrics and music is brilliant. This track should have been released as a single. I miss old good the 80's, i miss old Whitney, I miss old Madonna, i miss old Tina Turner, Cher, Belinda Carlisle, Sandra etc
'For the Love of You' represents real music of the 80's
This is also one of my fave Whitney Houston tunes, but it WAS released as a single... a vinyl 7" single, a remixed extended 12" single, as well as on a CD Single containing the remix.
I guess Clive at Arista did have second thoughts about releasing this song as a single though. On the cover of the US 12", the title read FOR THE LOVE OF YOU, but after the covers were printed, they covered up the title with a sticker that read DIDN'T WE ALMOST HAVE IT ALL..
@irina1296 I love Whitney and yes, she HAD the voice of an angel but the isley brothers released this originally in the 70s and I must say, much as I like the original and this cover, the best version of this song has to be the Angie Stone version - her duo with Candy dulfer really shows the class of the melody and words and brings a shiver to your skin.
@irina1296 Arista planned on releasing "For The Love Of You" as the second single from Whitney. Instead, they chose "Didn't We Almost Have It All" at the last minute. I think it was an excellent choice, being the 5th of 7 consecutive #1 singles from Whitney Houston. I also think that "Didn't We Almost Have It All" is the most vocally challenging songs from the Whitney album.
To say that I'm the biggest Whitney fan would surely start a fight among us Whitney fanatics, but ... I AM! I absolutely adore her voice, she is wonderful and although I'm totally captivated by this tune The Isley Brothers are due their credit.
VERY sensual delivery! I love it. Whitney always does a great job on remakes is this of the Im your Bay Tonight album? This is my first time hearing this song from her.
Thanks for the response. .. I was once walking along the white sugary sand of one of the most beautiful beaches of Mombasa, Kenya, listening to this beautiful song... just pure love.. thank you, thank you!
Wow. Hot, steamy and sexy. Fond memories of 1988.
