.............(April 25, 2000) In the midst of her 15th anniversary year as
an Arista recording artist, and in the wake of her sixth Grammy win this year for "It's
Not Right But It's Okay," WHITNEY - THE GREATEST HITS celebrates the
career of the artist whose combined sales in the U.S. are more than 70 million units, and
who has sold more than 110 million records and videos sold worldwide.
..........Highlights include newly-recorded
duets with George Michael, Enrique Iglesias and Deborah Cox, a new song
co-produced by Q-Tip and Raphael Saadiq, rare vintage tracks unavailable for
a decade, impossible-to-find club mixes, and bonus tracks. The multi-tiered release
encompasses Whitney's record-breaking success on the pop and R&B singles front
(on two CDs/two cassettes), as a screen presence since her career began at the label (on
DVD and VHS home-video), and in the clubs as a remixer's delight (on a limited edition
four-record vinyl box-set). The latter is set for an April 25 in-store date, while the
CDs/cassettes and DVD/VHS are due May 16th.
..........WHITNEY - THE GREATEST HITS, a
36-track collection, comprises both the Cool Down CD of all the ballad hits
in their original version and the Throw Down second CD of all the uptempo
signature cuts and sizzling club mixes, both CD's spanning her entire career to date.
Newly-recorded for the occasion are duets with Enrique Iglesias (the Diane Warren
composition, "Could I Have This Kiss Forever") and Arista label-mates
Deborah Cox ("Same Script, Different Cast") and Q-Tip
("Fine"), plus a brand new version of "If I Told You That"
(from My Love Is Your Love) that was reconfigured by producer Rodney Jerkins as a
duet with George Michael, with additional production done by George Michael.
..........Spanning 1985 to 2000, WHITNEY
- THE GREATEST HITS includes hard-to-find rarities (such as "One Moment In
Time," the 1988 Summer Olympics theme; and 1991's Super Bowl XXV version of
"The Star Spangled Banner"); plus a most requested 1986 classic duet with Jermaine
Jackson ("If You Say My Eyes Are Beautiful") that was released only on his
album, never as a single.
..........The innovative programming of the
two CDs (and cassettes) enables the listener to experience the full breadth of Whitney's
career with both volumes. Disc 1 (Cool Down), for example, builds from her
first hits of 1985, "You Give Good Love," "Saving All My Love For
You," and "Greatest Love Of All," all the way to the year 2000
with two great new records featuring Enrique Iglesias and Deborah Cox respectively.
Disc 2 (Throw Down) recaps the uptempo hits from My Love Is Your Love
- with club remixes of "It's Not Right But It's Okay," "My Love Is Your
Love," "Heartbreak Hotel" (featuring Faith Evans & Kelly Price), and
"I Learned From The Best" - then presents remixes of ten more hits from
Whitney's all-time classic repertoire. Disc 2's remixes show off the talents of such
masters as Junior Vasquez, David Morales, Jellybean, Hex Hector, Clivilles and Cole, The
Dronez, Rodney Jerkins and others.
..........The two volumes draw from Whitney's
first three studio albums, Whitney Houston (1985, now certified 13-times
RIAA platinum), Whitney (1987, 9x-platinum), and I'm Your Baby Tonight
(1990, 4x-platinum); then Whitney's three original soundtrack albums, The Bodyguard
(1992, 17x-platinum), Waiting To Exhale (1995, 7x-platinum), and The
Preacher's Wife (1996, 3x-platinum), and her most recent My Love Is Your
Love (1998, 3x-platinum). Whitney's U.S. album sales add up to a sub-total in
excess of 56 million copies. Add to this figure: 13 RIAA gold and 6 platinum singles, the
4-times platinum "I Will Always Love You" single, one gold home video and
two platinum home videos - and the total is well in excess of 70 million units sold in the
U.S. alone. (Please see complete track listings, chart facts and RIAA certifications
attached.)
..........WHITNEY - THE GREATEST HITS
is also the title of Whitney's first DVD and VHS home-video collection. Each version
reprises the lion's share of Whitney's hits in the course of its 21 titles, a combination
of video clips (with such noted directors as Wayne Isham, Peter Israelson, Julian Temple,
Randee St. Nicholas, Brian Grant, and Kevin Bray), and live performance. On
the digital side, the DVD (with Dolby Digital 5.1 Surround Audio) utilizes interactive
technology to provide song lyrics and cutting-edge multi-media content. The main menu
provides links to such rarities as the star's premiere television performance (on
"The Merv Griffin Show" in 1985), appearances on several awards show, a tune
from Disney's Rogers & Hammerstein's Cinderella (1997), interview segments featuring
Whitney and her co-producer, Arista president Clive Davis, and much more.
..........WHITNEY - THE UNRELEASED MIXES
is a special limited-edition four-record vinyl box-set that acknowledges the importance of
her music in clubs around the world. Seven songs, eight mixes, one track on each side of
four 12-inch vinyl discs make this another must-have for fans and club professionals. Once
again, the studio wizardry of master remixers Junior Vasquez, David Morales, Jellybean,
Hex Hector, and C+C Music Factory's Clivilles and Cole brings a new perspective to the
music: "How Will I Know," "Greatest Love Of All," "I'm Every
Woman," "Love Will Save the Day," "I Will Always Love You,"
"So Emotional," and "I'm Your Baby Tonight."
...........As Arista Records celebrates its own
25th anniversary year, the 15th anniversary of its all-time best-selling artist is
commemorated on these three new cross-referenced collections. And to think it all started
on the charts 15 years ago last month, when "You Give Good Love" entered
the Billboard Hot Black Singles chart on March 9, 1985, went to #1 and hit RIAA gold. The
self-titled Whitney Houston album entered the Top 200 (pop) album chart on
March 30th, went to #1 for 14 weeks, and now stands at 13-times platinum.

Cool Down / Throw Down...
[Billboard Online Report]
ARISTA PRESIDENT/CEO Clive Davis surprised attendees at BMG
Entertainment's worldwide meeting April 12 when he presented new tracks from Whitney
Houston's May 16 double-CD greatest-hits collection, "Whitney The Greatest
Hits." The first disc, "Cool Down," will feature
Houston's classic ballads. The second disc, "Throw Down," will be "the
party to end all parties," Davis tells Billboard, and contains remixes of her
uptempo material, as well as uptempo remixes of ballads "I Will Always Love You"
and "Greatest Love Of All."
The four new tracks on the album are "If I Told You That," a duet with George
Michael, which will be the first international single; "Could I Have This Kiss
Forever," a duet with Enrique Iglesias, which will be the first U.S. top 40 and top
40/rhythm-crossover single; "Fine" with Q-Tip, which will be an R&B and
crossover single; and "Same Script, Different Cast," featuring Deborah Cox,
which Houston touted during her appearance at the taping of Arista's 25th
anniversary celebration in Los Angeles on April 10.
