Throwback Thursday: Whitney Houston & CeCe Winans – “Count on Me”
On today — yes, ON today — we’re going gospel. Well…gospel-lite.
“Count on Me” is a duet between Whitney Houston’s and gospel legend CeCe Winans, and while the song is certainly inspirational, it isn’t explicitly religious. However, anything with a Winans on it has to be classified as gospel. It’s the law.
Taken from the iconic Waiting to Exhale soundtrack, “Count on Me” is a song about friendship, faith and love, and Whitney and CeCe sang the hell out of it. It holds the distinction of being one of only a handful of songs written by Whitney — Babyface, who wrote all but one song on the soundtrack, and Whitney’s brother, Michael, are also credited as songwriters.
“Count on Me” peaked at No. 8 on the Billboard Hot 100 and remains CeCe Winans’ highest-charting single.
