Whitney Houston - I'm Every Woman (C&C House Mix I) 1993

A Classic House Mix... We miss you Nippy!

"I'm Every Woman" is a hit song recorded by Chaka Khan in 1978. It was Chaka Khan's first hit outside of her recordings with funk band Rufus; the song was included on her platinum debut solo album Chaka. Produced by Arif Mardin and written by successful songwriting team Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson, the soul/disco song reached number twenty-one on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, number eleven on the UK Singles Chart and hit number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs. On the disco chart, the single peaked at number thirty.

The track was remixed and re-released in 1989 for Khan's remix album Life is a Dance - The Remix Project; this mix reached number 8 in the UK. Whitney Houston (who sang backup vocals on Khan's 1980 follow-up LP Naughty), would later record the song in 1992 with production by David Cole and Robert Clivillés, and vocals produced by Narada Michael Walden, turning it into a hit for a new generation.

When "I'm Every Woman" was released, Houston's preceding single, "I Will Always Love You", was still at number 1 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 (it remained there for eight more weeks). Houston's version of "I'm Every Woman" would become a bigger hit than the original, peaking at number four on the Billboard Hot 100 in just its seventh and eighth week of release; remaining in the top 40 for nineteen weeks.

As a tribute to Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston proclaims Khan's name towards the end of the song.

Have always LOVED this particular remix. She shows a little of her jazz skills and her ability for dance music as well.

Love this remix!!! How it shifts at around 500 and all the way til the end all the hooks!!

[keashle]

The scatting on this version was so beautiful. This was my favorite version of the remix, and this song kicked ass. C&C worked this sh*t out into a major frenzy. David Cole on the piano, just sick. Great moments, Whitney couldn't be touched. I loved that she recognized Chaka Khan, in the song, Whitney was a class act like that. RIP

[debfan]

She's every DIVA!!! I can not believe she is gone...I still get an ache in my heart but I will forever love her!

[Eagle]

This remix sends chills up my spine! The timeless vibe it has will capture any house/dance era.

[Revan]

Her voice has touched me in so many ways, RIP Whitney

[quescott]

Forever privileged to have shared time and space, on this earth with The Voice.  She taught me the meaning of "vocal acrobatics".   See you in heaven, Whitney!
