“I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)” was released in 1987 as the first single from Houston’s second studio album, Whitney. The song became one of her most beloved hits and remains a reminder of the voice, presence, and joy that made her one of the greatest entertainers of all time.
For generations of fans, Whitney was more than a voice. She was power, elegance, softness, and joy all at once. From the stage to the screen, she gave the world moments that still feel timeless.
