MEMORABLE SOUNDTRACK

“The bodyguard” - Whitney Houston (1992)
Whitney Houston’s voice has been the inspiration for most of the artists we have now...and in this album she showed what she can do...
Incredible vocals in all the songs and eventhough there are other singers, the album sold 42 million copies up to date for Whitney Houston...
It’s the biggest selling soundtrack of all times...take a look and see why...
Get some tissues first....

I will always love you

BEFORE & AFTER

Toni Braxton
This singer appeared with a very naive image and a tender soul voice which captured us since the beginning with songs like “Breathe again” and “Another sad love song”...after a few years...the girl had grown...and entered to the group of sexy singers...just like that...
“Unbreak my heart” was the higher note in her career and a big record in the world...in this videos she showed more than usual...but the change came with her album “The Heat”...there...she definitely showed an evolution and a trial to change her smooth image for a more agressive one...let’s take a look...

Another sad love song (1993)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S7s-PMj6K00
Breathe Again (1993)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JL3wGjZtGWI

Unbreak my heart (1996)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eO4T6D_MjjI

He wasn’t man enough for me (2000)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8H6rQ_EBnHE
Spanish guitar (2000)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFhQM7R4yjM


MEMORABLE COLLABORATIONS

Number one in more than 25 countries in the world and top five song in the year end charts in 1993 and 1994. soundtrack of “The three Musketeers” an incredible song which showed us pure talent...3 great voices and a nice message too...
