Ahead of the highly anticipated release of I Wanna Dance With Somebody in movie theatres on December 26 via TriStar Pictures, the film’s corresponding soundtrack is available to stream and download from today with a physical CD and vinyl release to follow soon.
I WANNA DANCE WITH SOMEBODY (THE MOVIE: WHITNEY NEW, CLASSIC AND REIMAGINED) is packed with 35 electrifying tracks. Among them is Houston’s rare live recording of ‘Don’t Cry For Me’ – the riveting song that was originally recorded by BeBe and CeCe Winans for their 1988 album, HEAVEN. While on The Bodyguard World Tour, Houston flew back to the U.S. for the AIDS Project Los Angeles (APLA) benefit concert, offering a vocal performance that would ultimately become iconic.

“The song ‘Don’t Cry For Me’, originally sung live by Whitney Houston, is truly a surprise discovery,” said Clive Davis. “The lyrics amazingly integrate into Whitney’s life story and her peerless voice penetrates your heart with its message. A must listen after two minutes of the end credits!”
Houston first burst into mainstream with her self-titled debut album, WHITNEY HOUSTON. The album, which spurred three #1 Billboard Hot 100 singles – ‘Saving All My Love for You’, ‘How Will I Know’, and ‘Greatest Love of All’, spent 14 weeks at #1 on Billboard Top 200, and sold more than twenty-five million copies globally.
The star’s second studio album, WHITNEY, followed in 1987. It yielded four #1 singles, including ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me)’, ‘Didn’t We Almost Have It All’, ‘So Emotional’, and ‘Where Do Broken Hearts Go’. Both albums went on to become RIAA certified diamond (WHITNEY HOUSTON 13x Platinum and WHITNEY 10x Platinum), making Houston the first Black recording artist to earn the triple diamond achievement.

Pat Houston on the song, “Everything is about timing and I’m more than elated about this amazing song being released at this moment in time. Whitney was always her best spokesperson and this song ‘Don’t Cry For Me’is a testament to her life and her connection to all of her fans. She delivers that signature Voice with a heartfelt message and the arrangement compliments everything that Whitney’s Team hoped for!”
