New Music New Whitney Houston: 'His Eye is On the Sparrow'
Posted by Rodney Carmichael @Rappin_Rodney on Wed, May 23, 2012 at 11:54 AM
Yesterday, Whitney Houston’s last recording was released (“Celebrate” feat. Jordin Sparks). And today, RCA Records released another single from the movie soundtrack. It's Houston's rendition of the classic gospel staple, "His Eye is On the Sparrow," which she also performs in the movie. It's one of those emotional church testimonials that's hard for young singers to deliver without making a vocal mess of things. But Houston keeps it old-school, backed by screeching organs and a full-blown choir at the climax.
