Whitney: The Greatest Hits

Whitney Houston possessed the kind of vocal wizardry that could transform “The Star Spangled Banner” into a soulful, emotionally transcendent anthem—and here it’s an honest-to-goodness power ballad. This expansive collection offers both breadth and depth: Achingly romantic tunes from The Bodyguard soundtrack (“I Will Always Love You” and “Run to You”) complement snappy remixes of early-career gems (“I Wanna Dance with Somebody”) and deeper cuts such as “One Moment in Time.” It’s the definitive overview of one of pop music’s truly unparalleled talents.
