This is from my 2012 Valentine's Day concert at Fairchild Tropical Gardens, Miami, FL. I decided to sing this song 1-2 weeks before the concert since I hadn't sung a Whitney tune in YEARS! Then we tragically lost her 2 days before this show... Just heartbreaking. I think we all wanted Whitney to just find peace and happiness. Know that WE LOVE YOU, Whitney!
Please enjoy this tribute for Whitney - the sweetest voice ever!
