00:00:00.120 --> 00:00:01.950
- Whitney Houston's voice is perfect.

2
00:00:01.950 --> 00:00:03.090
Everyone knows that,

3
00:00:03.090 --> 00:00:05.340
Her booming vocals impressed
all who heard them,

4
00:00:05.340 --> 00:00:07.987
and they stood front and
center on her 1992 track,

5
00:00:07.987 --> 00:00:08.994
"I'm Every Woman."

6
00:00:08.994 --> 00:00:11.934
♪ I'm every woman ♪

7
00:00:11.934 --> 00:00:15.116
♪ It's all in me ♪

8
00:00:15.116 --> 00:00:17.571
♪ Anything you want done baby ♪

9
00:00:17.571 --> 00:00:19.119
♪ I do it naturally ♪

10
00:00:19.119 --> 00:00:20.194
- This song pays homage

11
00:00:20.194 --> 00:00:22.890
to Chaka Khan's debut solo
single of the same name.

12
00:00:22.890 --> 00:00:25.020
Houston, who was a
backup vocalist for Khan

13
00:00:25.020 --> 00:00:26.730
on her 1980 album, "Naughty,"

14
00:00:26.730 --> 00:00:28.680
created her own unique
version of the record

15
00:00:28.680 --> 00:00:30.300
for the wildly popular soundtrack

16
00:00:30.300 --> 00:00:32.610
for the 1992 film, "The Bodyguard."

17
00:00:32.610 --> 00:00:34.500
Khan returns the favor for Houston,

18
00:00:34.500 --> 00:00:37.140
singing backup vocals for her
on this version of the track

19
00:00:37.140 --> 00:00:39.300
and even making an appearance
in the music video.

20
00:00:39.300 --> 00:00:41.880
While the track is one of
Houston's best dance anthems,

21
00:00:41.880 --> 00:00:43.980
it also serves as a reminder to women

22
00:00:43.980 --> 00:00:46.628
that they can be anyone they want to be.

23
00:00:46.628 --> 00:00:49.588
♪ I can cast a spell ♪

24
00:00:49.588 --> 00:00:51.641
♪ Secrets you can tell ♪

25
00:00:51.641 --> 00:00:53.354
♪ Mix a special brew ♪

26
00:00:53.354 --> 00:00:55.620
