Along with Arsenio Hall , Donnie Simpson helped to promote R&B, Soul as well as Hop Hop music in the 80's and 90's.

I absolutely love Whitney Houston, there is not another soul alive that can still measure up to her talent. This is the year I had my oldest daughter & I named after Whitney. RIP Whitney - may God be with Bobbi K.

I believe there could be other artists such as Whitney. Jennifer Hudson killed it on Dream Girls, but Whitney had something so special. Your right, she is incomparable.

@MrChicago891 I know, I don't get why it's left off all the compilations. True, it wasn't as "instant" a song in terms of hooks. (It might be harder today for such a simply beautiful song to be a radio hit.) But it did in fact scale the top of the pop and R&B charts.

Its beautiful and Whitney sang it better than anyone could with all her talent and passion (I love her). But I can see why it didn't make it, for example, on the wonderful "Greatest Hits" DVD (2000) that I own. I love that dvd. (May she RIP)

Lol, I’m late but thought I’d answer anyways 🙂But earlier in the interview, he asked her who would she like to do a song with, and she mentioned Michael, however, Michael hadn’t reached out to her or called her on doing a song with together even though they had talked about it. So basically Donnie was making a joke and comparing her wanting to do a movie with Robert to her also waiting by the phone for Michael to call to do a song together.
