>SIDENOTE: why do most whitney houston songs sound as if they were written by a gay man? i don't know if a guy could cover a whitney houston song without having it sound like he was singing to another dude (not that there's anything wrong with that). my theory is that all of her songs are about pining for the object of your affection, and that's not an emotion that guys typically expresss. so if a man came out and sang "saving all my love for you," he'd sound very, very gay.




"Saving All My Love For You" was actually recorded/released first by Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, around 1978: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=2120707
