[RARE] Whitney - Just The Lonely Talking Again (California, 1987)

[@lovingmemories8902]

Gorgeous feminine bright tone, masterful agility, angelic head voice, thunderous chest voice, amazing improvisational choices, heartfelt...she was THE BEST! No other singer had all of that.

[@byronbrownphoto]

Her live versions are always better. I love how she uses her full voice and isn’t timid.

[@CMF7692]

Yes!! She was a confident sanger! She believed in the glorious gift God gave her. 💝

[@pamkagamida5495]

This is my most favorite Whitney song!!!!! Timeless!

[@chasenip2]

Sadly, it took her death for the world to fully appreciate her. “If you give me some of you, I’ll give you all of me,” Whitney opening for Luther Vandross at his Houston Tx concert in 1985. The woman gave us all of her. The eternal voice.

[@jimtim9190]

100%. All of stages we gave 100% all the time

[@andrese9805]

The whole world always appreciated her, it was the press and the leeches around her the ones who didn’t.😢

[@LatriceR]

She was the best while she was here and she knew and felt it.

[@DaOrigTruthSeeker]

Her vocal projections are out of this world. She had THE MOST ELASTIC voice I have ever heard. Her transitions were seamless.

[@kmaur21]

Yup her vocal transitions are the best and her agility is crazy!

[@marcchesley3731]

Man what you say, I mean I hate when people try to say Mariah has the best transitions they are crazy! This hooka was the VOICE because she mastered melisma, runs, legato,pianisimo, fortisimo, vibrato! She had better runs than a pair of pantyhose and they always fit and were never random. I had heard confident singers but Whitney was the most confident singer that ever graced a mic. She turned the boring ass Star Spangled Banner into a CD and sold 2 million CD off the rip that's talent.

Yesssss! I adore Whitney's voice in those songs! There's a beautiful chapter written by an actor named Roman Castle that made me love Whitney even more. He was friends with Whitney and Robyn Crawford. You should check it out. It's called "On My Way to Hollywood." I've been telling EVERYBODY about this book because it was entertaining on so many levels. I started reading and could NOT stop! 😂

Danny Smith the only one the voice. ..

[@TheRemixstress]

Just amazes me that this huge, powerful voice came out of such a petite person. Whitney's voice still remains the standard by which *EVERY* singer tries to reach. Her vocal inflections, interpretation, diction, power, control, vibrato, timbre & the cherry on top was her tone...Rich, velvety, smooth, honey-like tone that blanketed her voice from top to bottom. *Whitney 'The Vocal Tsunami' Houston*

[@brianbutler-lopez952]

I love this song, She is and always The Greatest Voice in Music History, I really hope she has found the peace that she was searching for, Whitney will always be missed!

WHITNEY WAS THE BEST VOCALIST THE WORLD WITNESSED THUS FAR.

[@cerberusdest]

i heard her in 2010ish, when everyone said her voice was gone, but the quality of her voice still blew anyone i'd ever heard out of the water. Practice and hard work is important, but I really felt on that day that some gifts you're just born with.

[@chasenip2]

I have to agree w/Brian. I was LUCKY enuf to see this woman in concert 12 times; from her GLOA tour up thru 4 dates of the MLIYL tour. To hear her voice in person...there are just no words. I'm sooooo thankful we have YT and these gems to remember her by, but my God...if you've never heard her in person, sad to say, you really haven't "heard" her. I've never been a religious person, nor do I believe in a Christian "god", but I would imagine if there is a God somewhere, he/she had a divine hand in this woman's voice.

[@brianbutler-lopez952]

Chasenip2.. thank you anyone that was lucky enough to see her in concert were very fortunate... I still think about her almost everyday she was like a family member she was so relateable if I live to be 100 I will never forget her

[@dancinonasmoothedge]

[@fool4singing]

I always thought this was such a great song,..super slick. When I bought the album back in '87, this song was listed on the sticker on the cover that said "Contains the Hits." I think they were originally going to release it as a single.

[@malibongwexulu6409]

They wanted to but Clive Davis thought that at that point in her career she should be releasing original material. Then they released Didnt We Almost Have It All instead

[@davidjones3625]

They shoulda released it instead of didn’t we almost have it all or love will save the day

[@sjtalksandlife]

I'm really disappointed that didn't! It has more of an R & B sound.

[@timmy841212]

They were actually gonna put out For the Love of You but then Clive changed his mind cause two of the singles on WH’s debut were covers and he wanted more originals.

Mary B, Yes Whitney is now safe in GOD'S arms, like the great Billie Holiday this thing called life can be tough and some of us don't handle it well,and we self-destruct and we become weary, from the outside to everyone else people think wealth and renown brings happiness but we'll also just human,who knows what pain drive's a person to despair and self-destruction.
