Whiitney Houston

This new collection gathers together 14 hymns and spirituals recorded by the late Whitney Houston. Most of the songs stem from soundtracks, one of the few places she flexed her muscles within the genre (on 1992's juggernaut The Bodyguard and more notably on 1996's The Preacher's Wife); six of the tracks are previously unreleased, and at least one was recorded in 1981, before Houston signed a deal with Clive Davis' Arista Records. The set also includes a stirring cover of Simon & Garfunkel's "Bridge Over Troubled Water" performed live on VH1 in the mid-'90s alongside gospel icon CeCe Winans. An accompanying documentary of the same name will dive deeper into Whitney's gospel roots, with commentary from host Winans. The special will air on the UPtv and AspireTV networks on March 24 and will also receive a DVD release on an unconfirmed date.
