Gaither Music Group, Arista/Legacy Recordings and�The Estate of Whitney E. Houston Unveil ‘He Can Use Me,’ a Never-Before-Released Single�from the Highly Anticipated Whitney Houston Gospel Album
Today, the indomitable voice of�Whitney Houston�lives on with the release of “He Can Use Me,” the powerful new single from�I Go to the Rock: The Gospel Music of Whitney Houston,�the long-awaited new gospel album from the legendary singer.�
“He Can Use Me” is a stunning early gospel recording by a then 17-year-old Whitney. This 1981 recording reveals how even at an early age, she could sing with emotional conviction, vocal power, range, and dexterity � all hallmarks of what she would bring to her later recordings. The song is the second release from I Go to the Rock: The Gospel Music of Whitney Houston, following the premiere earlier this month of “Testimony,” another gospel recording by Whitney.
The new song is one of six never-before-released tracks featured on the album, which is set for release on�March 24, 2023,�and will be accompanied by a documentary TV special and DVD.
The album will be available on CD through Gaither Music Group and on all digital streaming platforms via Arista/Legacy Recordings�(in cooperation with The Estate of Whitney E. Houston)�and�may be pre-ordered now.
Hosted by acclaimed Grammy Award-winning gospel singer CeCe Winans and produced by Barry Jennings, the documentary follows Whitney’s gospel journey from her first-ever performance in front of an audience to her many breathtaking appearances performing gospel songs to recording the soundtrack to the 1996 film�The Preacher’s Wife, which became the best-selling gospel album of all time.
The documentary TV special,�I Go to the Rock: The Gospel Music of Whitney Houston�will air on multiple TV networks, premiering�Friday, March 24, at�8 p.m. ET�on both UPtv and AspireTV.
