WHITNEY HOUSTON Has Returned

16:50 Posted In , , , , Edit This 0 Comments »

Thank God a great singer as Whitney Houston has returned! In her new album she has a slightly changed voice: more mature and rough imprinted by the harsh times in her troubled last 8 years...
There are songs in the album that tell the story of her trial in a moving way: the one that gives the title for her album "I Look to You" has also a video, and it brings back the classy style describing her in the past. Simple means elegant, touching, honest, especially this time... It's still the Whitney Houston we looked up to in her successful artistic past, with a taste of bitterness overcome with the help of divine guidance. Indeed she seems confident and radiant, giving us reasons to consider her a winner, in spite of her long career break along with a few bad chosen songs that were not representing her as an artistic personality of high class... The song may not get to be a hit, but the message in the lyrics is very well expressed and it's the confession she needs to make to the viewers in the beginning of her new road...

It's so moving to spell the title above and realize how it's all about the same 5 letters "E" "L" "V" "I" "S"...Today we honor the king of rock& roll for all that he has been as an artistic personality and as a special human being.
A special tribute to Elvis can point out the musical style in which he had excelled in, ever since he was a child: that is gospel. I was impressed by a gospel medley added to a collage of great photos of ELVIS PRESLEY that show him how he truly sang: full of energy, soul, dedication, always looking for perfection with the joy in his heart on the privilege to express himself freely.(I'd like to congratulate Jackiej61too for the lovely ELVIS page design and emotional videos!).




Elvis Presley Gospel Medley-1968 Comeback Special

Elvis performed this production number in his NBC 1968 Special, which was filmed on June 28, 1968, and aired on December 3, 1968. The songs contained are Sometimes I Feel Like a Motherless Child (lead sung by Darlene Love), Where Could I Go But to the Lord, Up Above My Head, and Saved. The vocal and instrumental tracks were recorded June 20 or 21, 1968. Elvis lip-synched the number, and no audience was present during the filming. This medley is available on Memories The 68 Comeback Special

(Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
Sometimes I feel like a motherless child
A long, long way from home
A long way from home)

(Words & music by J. B. Coats)

Living below in this old sinful world
Hardly a comfort can afford
Striving alone to face temptation so
Now won't you tell me?
Where could I go but to the Lord

Where could I go oh where could I go
Seeking a refuge for my soul
Oh Lord, Im Needing a friend to save me in the end
Now Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord
Now Won't you tell me
Where could I go but to the Lord

(Words & music by Brown)

Up above my head there is music in the air
Up above my head there is music in the air
Up above my head there is music in the air, oh yeah!
And I really do believe, I really do believe
I really do believe there's a heaven somewhere

There's a heaven somewhere

(Words & music by Leiber - Stoller)

I wanna soothe my heart, I wanna ease my mind
I wanna move my shoes and see what I can find
I wanna stand up tall and open up my eyes
I wanna reach out my hand until I touch the skies
I was a poor lost lamb in a deep dark hole
But now I've found that light thats I'm gonna save my soul
I used to drink, I used to smoke
I used to smoke, drink and dance the hoochy-coo
I used to smoke and drink, smoke and drink and dance the hoochy-coo
Oh oh yeh! And now I'm standing on thus corner praying for me and you
Ah ah ah

I-I-I That's why I'm saved I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
You know I'm saved I'm saved
Well I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum

I used to cuss, I used to fuss
I used to fuss, cuss, boogie all night long
I used to cuss and fuss, cuss and fuss,
Cuss and fuss and boogie all night long, ah ah ah
And now I'm standing on this corner, I know right from wrong

I-I-I That's why I'm saved I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
You know I'm saved I'm saved
Well now I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum

I used to lie, I used to cheat
I used to lie, cheat, step on people's feet
I used to lie and cheat, lie and cheat and step on people's feet
Well now I'm steppin' on to glory salvation in my beat

Because I'm saved, I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout a kingdom come
Im saved I'm saved
Well I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum
Ah ah ah ah ah ah ah
Oh oh oh ah ah ah oh oh oh

I'm in that soul saving army beating on that big bass drum

Oh oh yeah!

Because I'm saved, I'm saved
People let me tell you 'bout kingdom come
You know I'm saved I'm saved
Well now I can preach until you're deaf and dumb
I'm saved, I'm saved I'm saved

I said Im saved
I said Im saved
Yeah Im saved
Wow wow wow
Yaw
