惠特妮·休斯顿(Whitney Houston),美国已故著名女歌手,国际乐坛流行天后、好莱坞巨星。她以强而有力的嗓音、一字多转音的感染力与宽广的音域,所被誉为美国第一嗓。Whitney是首张专辑销量最高的女歌手和单张专辑销量最高的女歌手。她也是Billboard音乐排行榜唯一一位连续缔造7首冠军单曲的女歌手。根据吉尼斯世界纪录,Whitney是获奖最多的女歌手(获奖490次)。美国时间2012年2月11日在比弗利希尔顿酒店被宣布死亡,死因是药物过量引致心脏病发滑入浴缸溺水而亡,终年48岁。
Whitney Houston追寻母亲福音歌手Cissy和表姐Dionne Warwick的脚步,11岁时就开始加入福音唱诗班,开始了她跨越80和90年代的歌唱事业。在福音音乐的训练和熏染下,Whitney十几岁时就已经 帮Chaka Khan等歌手伴唱,1981年时,Whitney开始了她模特儿的生涯,曾上过《Glamour》、《Seventeen》等知名杂志封面,之后 Whitney的好歌喉被Atista唱片看中延揽于旗下,Whitney于1984年时,和Teddy Pendergrass合唱Hold Me,单曲的成功,为Whitney在歌坛的起步有了一个很好的开始。过Whitney Houston的第一张同名专辑《Whitney Houston》,直到隔年1985年时才发行,不仅全球狂卖1300万张,蝉联Billboard专辑榜14周冠军,多首畅销单曲如You Give Good LoveSaving All My Love For You更是大家耳熟能详的Whitney代表作,Whitney可说是一踏入歌坛就奠定了她屹立不摇的天后地位。但因为她在1984年的第一首单曲 "Hold Me" 的关系,所以无法角逐 1986 年格莱美奖的“最佳新人奖”。许多人对此为她感到不公平。 但无论如何,她还是靠着 "Saving All My Love for You"一曲拿到了格莱美奖的“最佳流行女歌手”。在那场颁奖典礼上,惠特妮演出了她的得奖歌曲,而这场演出也让她得到她的第一项也是唯一的艾美奖“综 艺/音乐节目最佳个人表演奖 (Outstanding Individual Performance in a Variety or Music Program) ”。惠特妮并得到两项美国音乐奖 (American Music Award) ,分别是 "Saving All My Love" 得到“最佳心灵/ R&B 录像带奖 (Favorite Soul/ R&B Video')”和 "You Give Good Love"得到“最佳灵魂/ R&B单曲奖(Favorite Soul/ R&B Single')”,和一项MTV音乐录像带大奖 (MTV Video Music Awards) 的“最佳年度女歌手音乐录像带奖(Best Female Video of the Year')”,由"How Will I Know"一曲拿下。根据USA Today网站,惠特妮进入乐坛被选为是25年来最值得纪念的25件事之一。

A few stolen moments is all that we share
You've got your family, and they need you there
Though I've tried to resist, being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you
It's not very easy, living all alone
My friends try and tell me, find a man of my own
But each time I try, I just break down and cry
Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you
You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said be patient, just wait a little longer
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready, just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling when you walk through that door
For tonight is the night, for feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
No other woman, is gonna love you more
Cause tonight is the night, that I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yeah I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love for you
For you, for you
