When God created Whitney he definitely broke the mold. There will never be another Whitney Houston. Never Ever. Now Whitney, you can rest in eternal peace. Thank you sharing your talent and voice with us.
My mom heard Whitney Houston sing in a church with her mother when Whitney was still a teenager. After the performance, my mom went up to her and said, "Ms. Houston, you are so beautiful, and have the best voice I've ever heard in my life. You're going to be a big star." She said Whitney was soft-spoken and responded, "Why, thank you so much."

I first heard this song on the radio KUTE 101.9 (Los Angeles) back in 1983 and felt a chill run up and down my spine. I still feel the same chills listening to it today (41 years later). Unbelievable talent.
From south of Spain....

Listen to the calrity in her voice. She was just a rare instrument when you total up all the qualities her voice possessed. I can't think of another singer who had all of these.....clarity,pronounciation,diction,inflections,timber,power,tone....she had it all in one voice. Very rare.
@@tinadion9205 misss Whitney Houston as 4 ver!!! She was the " only one ""real icon of a proud talend about music industry from south of Spain really LOVE it her music as really so much ..wit so peacefully N contagious voice ,,,so..miss Whitney Houston 4everrrr rip greetings from south of Spain
I saw her open for Luther Vandross in Houston. I was blown away. I'm not sure if she sang this song... My favorite Whitney song is "Someone For Me" . I will forever remember that voice. Her inflection.. Contagious. My Heart. I am devestated by Her passing.
I have XM radio, they play Whitney but I think there should be a Whitney Houston radio channel. Simply........Just Whitney! Because there are rare gems like this one that aren't being played on the radio. I love you Whitney. Peace
+Sam Pottorff I'm pretty sure Pandora has an all radio channel dedicated for Whitney Houston. Same for Michael Jackson and many other artists of the 80's.
Love this so much I think she was very young when she sang this at 16 and fell in love like any 16 year old , she and the others sang so well I love this so much.
This appeared on the "Paul Jabara and Friends" album that came out in 1982. It heralded the appearance of a new star. All the djs were buzzing about this cut. Her voice is even purer than on "Saving All My Love" and that's saying something! She was truly The Voice of the last 25 years of the 20th century. The moment I heard this in 1982, I knew she'd become a star.
I was in New York in 1983 and was given this album by one of the Weather Girls, who had a song on the album. It was the first time I heard "the voice". I was certain she'd be a star.
If u dont cry while listening tha song, you are not a Nippian..... Gosh.. wat an angel we saw and listened.. thank u for all Nippy... Rest in heaven...
@ 5:01 I love that final vocalization of " Eternal Love" that she seemingly forces so gracefully from her throat only to follow up in the next bridge with a flawless falsetto. Whitney sung this like the goddess she always was.
@@divaslive6953 I know right what a way to usher in your career as a vocalist. Whitneys rise wasn’t coincidence it was preordained. Who else has such legendary backing vocalists on their first solo recording at 16 might i add.
R.I.P. Ms Houston. True early fans in Washington D. C. (and probably elsewhere) remember this magnificent song being played in clubs BEFORE her ARISTA debut! After a long, sweaty night of full on clubbing this way the song that sent many a club goer on the merry way! They hungered for more, so, by the time that debut was released, she had a VERY LOYAL fan base already standing by! The rest was history! I was there, and have been a VERY BIG FAN ever since!!!
@@jasminelucas743 I was thinking about how Whitney allowed Robin into her life and shared private intimacy and included her in projects and production deals in the 90s And SHE decides to write a book while this woman's mother is still alive her and Bobby really need to sit there broke selfish asses down cuz they truly didn't love this woman and cherish her privacy.
@@moeperk3792 ill have to disagree, robyn had every right to tell her truth everybody went and told theirs. Never did Robyn ever have a negative word to say about whitney. Her book uplifted whitney and kept the sincerity of their relationship without tarnishing whitney’s name
Im in love with this song. I remember hearing this song on one of those "midnight love" radio stations and I had to find it. And when my fiance' and I was wondering if I was going to marry him (long story) he sung this to me on a video. Well we got married soon after that.
She is so greatly missed...she had that special magic that singers today are very much lacking. Just the sound of Whitney's voice makes me feel good....what a most special gift she had.
What a song! I can't believe I've never found it before. And she's really 16? Now I can't wait to find a live version. What absolutely beyond words talent and musicality and sheer beauty
OMG, I wish with all MY HEART that Whitney and Michael Jackson had recorded and released at least ONE COLLABORATION during their careers. How did she end up recording so many DUETS with his older brother, Jermaine but NONE with Mike? I just don't understand that!
Yeah I thought she had a relationship with Jeremaine that's why she recorded songs in her first album with him. Maybe they just didn't think about it??
Brother Michael was a perfectionist, even though so was Nippy thing is, Nippy never recorded or sang anything the same thing twice and MJJ who was a metronomic (most probably not a real word) in his particular OCD form of musicianship couldn't deal with that. Everyone's idea of perfection is so different. They probably did record as they were friends but just never released the track or tracks. IJS Also record label execs usually make the last decisions plus the reps usually like the most popular opinion to generate more sales and a Whitney/Michael situationship might have changed views which = sales.
Whitney had a well balanced voice. Cissy trained the hell out of that pristine gift. You can tell she was heavily influenced by her mom her approach is theatrical and fierce.
100% Whitney like her mother where very dramatic singers.. but in a good way. I believe it's because they truely understood the song and sang it as a story. Which is why they sing with many peaks and Valleys
@@ogkush1916 Agree, but small correction in my opinion. They didn't just "understand the song and sang it as a story"; they understood MUSIC. If you understand music, then you can sing. And if you happen to have a God given talent like Whitney Houston had on top of understanding music, then you become "Whitney Houston". It's just as simple as that to me.
Now that I've heard this ballad for the first time this morning, I love it already and I think it's a beautiful love song!!! Whitney sounds like she feels every lyric in this song. It's almost as if she were actually literally speaking to the one she loves. Simply put, it's a lovely love song!!! Thank you, Whitney, for touching my heart once again.
Whitney, Whitney we will miss you so very much. You were sent to give us the gift of your beautiful, beautiful voice for just a little while. RIP beautiful songbird and know that your presence on this earth touched us all in a very special way. Gone, but never forgotten.
From south of Spain her voice was so PEACEFULLY N SO CLEVA ANGELIC N HEAVENLY TOO MUCH HEAVENLY REAL PROUD OF A REAL TALEND OF MUSIC SHE WAS KINDA SWEET PEACEFULLY WIT SWEET CARAMEL MUSIC LOVE HER MUSIC AS SO MUCH LIVIN ON SOUTH OF SPAIN MISS WHITNEY ELIZABETH HOUSTON RIP❤FOREVERRRRRRRRR
I thought that I had all of Whitney's songs until I came across this beautiful song. Wow is all that I can say. Her voice is/was like no other. RIP my beautiful songbird.
She also sang on her mother Cissy's disco-era songs. In "Think It Over," Cissy's first dance hit, on a good system, you can hear Whitney's voice "doubling" her mother's, particularly on the high notes in the break of the song. She's on several of the cuts (and credited: I have the albums, having been a dj at that time (1978).
Genius: I respectfully feel different about your preference. I heard this recording back in 1983 when I was a dj, and this came out on the album "Paul Jabara and Friends" which featured the Weather Girls (aka Two Tons 'O Fun, when they backed Sylvester) among others. This was the standout cut among all of us djs. This was recorded prior to her first album, of course, and she subsequently said that she recorded this when she was 16. A stunningly mature performance for 16.
@monizareba U sure u been listening since the beginning???? If so you would have known she had an album prior to this latest one. Screw the media and fake fans who want 2 talk about her drug addiction. @ the end of the day she is still the greatest singer in the world and you and nobody will ever change my view point!!!
Life is not fair man it is so sad how people disregard people and just attack them when they think they are weak or lonely , but God loves you so much dear Whitney it makes so sad and I miss her , she was so beautiful and her vocals were so blessed by God.
+Chris Houston You also have to understand she was 16 when she recorded this song, and it was released when she was 19. Her upper register at this point would still be in a very high place.
this is a super good song an she sounds good on this slow jam why haven't this been played on the radio before it should been a hit rip whitney houston
Oh man..tears came to my eyes upon hearing this. I had the Paul Jabara album which featured a then unknown Whitney, 2 Tons of fun, and Leata Galloway among others...Whitney sounded so fresh and innocent and the arrangement with strings was so elegantly done. Thank you for posting this gem!
Eternal Love MON AMOUR ✩☾✩☾✩☾✩☾✩☾✩ Something's wrong I don't understand The way I feel I don't know where I am There's some mistake What am I doing here Away from you Where I belong It isn't fair She's keeping us apart And in return I'm left with just my broken heart I close my eyes I feel you close to me Back in your arms Where I belong Eternal Love that's all that I have to give It's only for you and me You're all that I've got Just say you love me And that no one else Can ever make you feel the same Something's wrong I don't understand I've never felt this way For any other man My only dream My one reality My pledge to you Eternal Love All that I give you is All that I have Oh baby take me in your arms Just say you love me And that no one else Can ever make you feel the same No one loves you like I love you No one loves you like I do It's just not fair You can't keep me away Cause I won't give up I've got to get you back today My only dream My one reality My pledge to you Eternal Love ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-UDwyRr-tNok.html
i will love you eternally. i have listened to this song most of all of yours this week. i pray for you as you are laid to rest. nippey, whitney, angel.
Stephanie Mills sang this song with such emotion passion and A voice so strong. Whitney sung it low no power. At 16 a soft girl voice. I love you Whitney may You 🌷R. I. P🌷 Stephanie Mills is my girl. I love her voice.
smooth persuader Phyllis definitely could have sung it. I think she did. I saw both these women sing in person and felt in awe of both of them. A few others who I think could sing this really well are Bobby DeBarge, El DeBarge and Bunny DeBarge. God. Broke the mold. May those who have gone before us RIP.....
There will be another in her era we said the same for B Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald, Minnie Riperton, Aretha Franklin, It rarely we get to heard one spill their soul on the wax like these ladies. But in the end they all fragile, though they appear strong. Art is one thing. But does art imitate life or does life imitate art.
@@klion3924 Same. Her voice had already changed by the 90’s, and so it would’ve been a different experience, though. I can’t imagine “Eternal Love” by a deeper-sounding Whitney. Plus, her delivery would’ve been different. In the 90’s she started chopping up lines instead of singing them straight through…kinda like talk-singing.
This song was underrated - Cissy did a Sterling job training her daughter. Thank you for the Legacy of this beautiful music Whitney - you ate dearly missed
to Whitney, we love you, your an absolute legend to the uploader, i dont know where you got this song from but thank you for uploading it absolutely amazing !!
+Virdinell Heynr Love this! Oh yes I can definitely hear Deniece Williams and in some areas the great Patti Austin. Miss Whitney sooo much......just isn't fair she left us so soon. Would love to have seen her age and make that comeback we all wanted for her!!
This song gives me chills and to no she had this much conviction at the age of 16 years old...yes God took His time molding this Special Life...Beauty, Brains a Golden Heart and the Voice....
