Whitney’s “All At Once” was released as a European single in March 1985. Her performance of this song in 1987 became a historic moment – she was the first artist ever to be asked to perform an encore at Italy’s Sanremo Music Festival. After Whitney sang “All At Once” to a standing ovation, the host declared, “A voice like that comes once in a generation.” The audience shouted for an encore performance, so Whitney sang it twice! #WomensHistoryMonth
Happy Birthday Chaka! 🎉

March 1996: “Count On Me” from the soundtrack to Waiting To Exhale (recorded by best friends Whitney and CeCe Winans) was released as a single. The song was co-written by Whitney, her brother Michael and Babyface — and also produced by Babyface. The song is an ode to friendship – leaning on a friend for support when needed 💜
March 14, 1991: Whitney’s ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight World Tour’ commenced with a “soft opening” of two dates in Japan. The tour continued until October with dates in Asia, North America and Europe.

Whitney and team also reworked some of the songs, giving them new energy with funky arrangements.
