Fresh eyes on this. Very cool. I assume this was a remix? I don't recall GM on the original.

Not an official remix but they added Michaels vocals and slightly changed the music.

I heard that Michael Jackson was asked to duet on this, but he wasn't available, so Whitney recorded it solo. George was asked to sing on it when it was released as a single.

You can take a black guy to Nashville from right out of the cotton fields with bib overalls, and they will call him R&B. You can take a white guy in a pin-stripe suit who’s never seen a cotton field, and they will call him country. ~ O. B. McClinton

Yea I heard that.. That would have been epic to finally have them two on a song together eek razz Michael wanted to work with her to. I could see Michael singing on this song.

Whitney turned down I Just Can't Stop Loving You. She did 4 duets with Jermaine though.

She didnt turn it down personally, her people did. They didn't want to overwater Whitney's radio play

She was too busy to record it at the time. She didn't turn it down.

Whitney toured like crazy back in the day. Her first major tour was over 120 dates.

That's nothing compared to BB King who toured just about all year for a long time. A lot of old acts did 2 to 6 shows a day, everyday.

I'm not knocking BB King, but for a power belter like Whitney who doesn't lip sync that's a long time.

George is normally an outstanding singer, but this is one of his weakest performances on record. I've warmed to it over the years, but I still prefer the original.

LOVE this and I love the fact that these 2 seem to have regraded each other highly
