1.TUPAC-HAIL MARY
2.THE BEATLES-TWIST AND SHOUT
3.KIM CARNES-BETTE DAVIS EYES
4.ELVIS PRESLEY-THAT'S ALL RIGHT MAMA
5.EMINEM-LOSE YOURSELF
6.AND MY FAVORITE,FUNKADELIC-MAGGOT BRAIN

Her daughter said this was her favorite song from her mother Whitney. RIP the two of them
@dahomiee
This song should have been bigger. Seeing how it was the albums title. Gold π 500,000 units sold
@gregcampbell3052

@D1Snr
It's mine also. I'm surprised. Not many people I know like it
@mentak2593
Mine also β€ Whitney can do no wrong musically π
@assaultislove
According to LA Reid's book, LA claims that Whitney sang this song in one take in the studio because she wanted to go the mall before it closed. LA said he and Babyface wrote this song to be as difficult to sing as possible (pitch changes, tempo, etc), and Whitney sang this in one take. I guess she really wanted to get to the mall! She came back later to do the background vocals and ad libs too...No one could touch Whitney in her prime. NO ONE...RIP, Nippy.
