Merry Christmas to all who are celebrating. I hope your holiday is a happy one however you are spending it. Enjoy!

Many thanks for being here for this festive music series. And now for our final song.

Today’s version was featured on the soundtrack to the 1996 movie, “The Preacher’s Wife” and was recorded with the Georgia Mass Choir. It was performed by the woman who exploded on the music scene forty years ago when her debut album was released in 1985. From the first note, Whitney Houston was a megastar.
