Description: At the time of its release, this was the watershed for soundtracks, selling a kazillion copies. It documents Whitney Houston's character in the Kevin Costner movie, which required Houston to play only herself (although one hopes she wouldn't end up with someone as smarmy as Costner). The album is as much a testament to the production of Babyface who, through the mid-1990s, actually was the mainstream of contemporary hit music. Houston's singing is much better than her acting, and almost every song enjoyed a long tenure at the top of all the charts. Along with "I Will Always Love You" and five other Houston songs, the soundtrack also features Lisa Stansfield, Kenny G with Aaron Neville, and Joe Cocker with Sass Jordan. --

Reviews:
ONE OF THE BEST SOUNDTRACKS
This is one of my favorite soundtracks. All of the songs are winners. Of course, the standout songs are from Whitney. To this day Whitney's ballads hit my very soul. "I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU","I HAVE NOTHING","RUN TO YOU" I think anyone who believes in a lifelong love can relate to these songs. "QUEEN OF THE NIGHT" and a Chaka Khan remake "I'M EVERY WOMAN" are great for the dance floor. "TRUST IN ME" is a great rock song from legend Joe Cocker. "SOMEDAY" from the other diva Lisa Stansfield is a mild dance number (I also recommend Lisa's entire catalog). "EVEN IF MY HEART WOULD BREAK" with Kenny G and Aaron Neville is an adult contemporary sound of Aaron Neville with Kenny on sax. "WHAT'S SO FUNNY.." with Curtis Stigers is a rock dance feel. "LOVELY DAY" by Soul System is a typical Clivilles and Cole club dance sound. "THEME FROM THE BODYGUARD" is an instrumental song with a relaxful sound. Buy this soundtrack. My other favorite soundtrack is "WAITING TO EXHALE" which is a diva extravaganza!!: WHITNEY,CHAKA,PATTI,TLC and more.

Whitney: Simply INCOMPARABLE
This is "a Whitney CD". No doubt about it. Despite Lisa's, Kenny G's efforts...Whitney reigns supreme in this soundtrack.
There will never be a singer as she is.... for me that's crystal clear.
