I love this duo. Without them we would not have the Iconic how will I know and IWDWS....I love their song wishing for a star to..all feel good songs. Very talented songwriters and still looking great ❤

[@circuslife888]

I often play "Waiting For A Star To Fall" in between "How Will I Know" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)", knowing that WFASTF was written specifically for Whitney. In many ways, that song truly captured her spirit, even the Boy Meet Girl's music video for the song prominently featured the sea; A creation often used by music critics and vocal pedagogues to describe her voice. This is an amazing interview with George Merril and Shannon Rubicam, ex-lovers who were the songwriters of all the above-mentioned classics, allowing them to tell their fond memories of Whitney and to share how they crafted those timeless songs for young musicians.

Terrible loss, wonderful singer & very unique voice. Never ever be another Whitney Elizabeth Houston. I'm so sorry she is no longer here. Rip Queen ❤⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[@kweenah.dknight]

This is great! Keep up with the songwriter interviews. Such great insight behind the scenes

[@Kidane20]

Thank yall for this interview ❤

[@saiyongdawn7756]

Awesome interview. Thanks George Merrill, Shannon Rubicam, and WH channell. ❤🎉 I think Whitney had said she desired more to sing R&B than Pop. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think she was snubbed for a Grammy on an R&B song but I forget which song right now.🤔

[@obitouchiha7040]

I always love these types of interviews

[@mountainlinx]

I looooove these 2 songwriters!!!! 🥰

[@eribaldosilva5122]

Eu adoro todas músicas.

[@rosespeakstruthlikeitis155]

The inside So real , We enjoy this one on one music documentary, 🥳

[@Thegazelle1000]

“She derived so much joy when she was singing”…yes it’s true. Whitney is the only singer who makes me smile and cry at the same time.😊

[@ricardodomingues9894]

We already know everything about Whitney. What we want is Live Album. Reissue Anniversary Album Whitney. Unreleased album. 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥

[@jamesallenraynes]

I wanted to know what they thought about how the two songs wound up being converged into a medley that was a major part of every major tour Whitney did. The I wanna dance/how will I know medley was a staple and most energetic part of the live performances.

[@arnaldosouza6133]

😍😍😍

[@clamclam3]

Such a charismatic pair! I wonder how songwriters of this caliber aren’t well-known, I’ve never listened to them but they sure seem like something.

[@Sttephy30]

A lot of songwriters are unknown heros of the business. But some become household names like Diane Warren.

[@eribaldosilva5122]

Eu não sei pq que as músicas dela,mim faz muito feliz.

[@ThyegoCabral]

Eribaldo, o brilho de Whitney vai muito além do que apenas técnica, ela cantava com a alma. Algo muito muito especial veio dessas situações: ter nascido em uma comunidade pobre, como mulher negra e cantora gospel desde criança e que seguia os passos da mãe também cantora. Até as músicas dançantes eram como orações, expressivas e cheias de emoção nos arranjos vocais, sem que deixassem de alguma forma de serem também louvores na estética daquela diva tão única

[@GentedeSucessoVIP]

I love them as I love Narada. I think that if there wasn’t the hit song from Dirty Dancing the movie that there was I wanna dance to replace I’ve had

[@gulnarabaeva1558]

Уитни,я тебя люблю ❤🇷🇺🙏
