Added flair from artists like Kenny G, Lisa Stansfield, and Joe Cocker provide a rich, diverse listening experience. The album's legacy is not just in its sales—it's shaped the musical landscape, snagging three Grammy Awards, including Album of the Year and Record of the Year, and cementing Houston as a global icon. This soundtrack continues to inspire and moves hearts, a true testament to its enduring power. - Tatiana
