It WAS on “Harold and Maude”. It was wonderful.

Josh Groban does a great job there.

Whitney Houston actually nails it at the SuperBowl 1991. AFN TV used to use this version in their nightly sign off.

Yes, he really does.

Whitney Houston’s is still a goose-bumper after 20 - yikes- 20! years. We have it on a later-issued CD, but still have the original single-release on a cassette tape. The sound on that was sooo great - at the time. Not half-bad now, but hasn’t technology left those days in the dust!

I just watched it on youtube. It is complete with an f-16 fly-by and Whitney, dressed exceptionally appropriately for the occasion. The technology of the time seems to miss nothing; her voice and her interpretation are just perfect.

Haven’t read the thread but I have to say “Still Loving You” by the Scorpions, “Love Ain’t No Stranger” by Whitesnake and “Rock Me” by Great White are good ones.
