I must confess, I've checked in on the draft of this post a couple times. Well done, and now I have a morning soundtrack.

Whitney's isolated vocal track from "How Will I Know": https://youtu.be/JZGVUpXQHV4

What a talent. What a loss.

The (then) husband and wife duo who wrote that song sent Whitney's people a follow up, "Waiting for a Star to Fall," which they thought would be perfect for her. When she turned it down they recorded the song themselves and got a #3 hit with it. This is sunny eighties cheese in the best possible way: https://youtu.be/RhxF9Qg5mOU
