Give me one moment in time whitney houston
I’d just bring her my tracks that were made for her in the right key in the right tempos, everything I knew so well at that time about what would just set her free. We were best friends, it was the best times and I had the best seat in the house. Narada: Recording her was the best thing in the world. Narada Michael Walden Neilson Barnard/Getty Imagesĭavis: The I’m Your Baby Tonight album was a more urban record than Whitney had recorded than her first two albums, mainly produced by L.A. Beautiful! If you hear that original version, that’s what I’m talking about. She went bananas and was so excited, it was like a six-minute-long jam. When I went back to do her vocals on the third album in New York, I surprised her with what I made. When I came back to my studio in San Francisco, I cut it for her and put a big choir on it out here because I knew I wanted to put a gospel tinge on it. He put it down. When she heard Chaka’s voice, she said, “Oh yeah, we can take that and do our own thing to it, Narada.” And that’s what we did, we took it right to church.
Will Jennings, with the genius Steve, wrote the song.
By that time, Whitney’s a big superstar and she loved the song “Higher Love” because Chaka Khan and Steve Winwood already put it out. Narada Michael Walden, longtime Houston producer who worked on the original version: On the first album (1985’s Whitney Houston) I produced “How Will I Know” and then the second album (1987’s Whitney) I produced seven tracks including “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me).” And then I did the Olympic theme song, “One Moment in Time.” Then it was time for the third album (1990’s I’m Your Baby Tonight).
