I’M YOUR BABY TONIGHT: The Whitney Houston Songbook

This high-voltage tribute concert features gifted vocalist/entertainer Stacie Calkins, accompanied by a live 7-piece band and 3 backing vocalists performing songs that were recorded and/or performed by superstar Whitney Houston during her all-too-brief career, including her mega-hits “Saving All My Love For You”, “I’m Every Woman”, “All At Once”, “Didn’t We Almost Have It All”, “I Wanna Dance With Somebody”, “How Will I Know”, “You Give Good Love”, “I Have Nothing”, “The Greatest Love Of All”, “I Believe In You And Me”, “Queen Of The Night”, “It’s Not Right, But It’s Okay”, “So Emotional”, “Miracle”, “Where Do Broken Hearts Go”, “I Learned From The Best”, “It Isn’t, It Wasn’t, It Ain’t Never Gonna Be”, “Love Will Save The Day” and “One Moment In Time”. Whitney Houston made a meteoric rise to superstardom in 1985 with her self-titled debut album, which became the best selling album of the year. The daughter of singer Cissy Houston, cousin of singer Dionne Warwick, god-daughter of singer Darlene Love and honorary niece of legendary singer Aretha Franklin, Whitney’s vocal prowess was fueled and inspired on all sides. Her recordings and vocal stylings inspired an entire generation of young female vocalists. Having sold more than 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide, Houston is cited by the Guiness World Records as the most awarded female act of all time, with two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, 22 American Music Awards among 415 career awards racked up by 2010. Her second album, Whitney, became the first album by a female artist to debut at No. 1. She is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 hits – her recording of “I Will Always Love You” remains the best-selling single by a female artist in music history and the soundtrack for her film “The Preachers’ Wife” in the best-selling gospel recording of all time. Ms. Calkins, an accomplished entertainer in her own right, brings the excitement of a Whitney Houston concert to life with astounding ease, electrifying her audiences in every performance.
