I am just getting into Whitney's music (as in i'm getting into her albums).

She is known for those big famous ballads, but what lesser-known ones do you like?

my favourite was a single in the us and canada. however, people probably don't remember it unless they have `i`m your baby tonight` album. the song is called `miracle` and it was one of her best ballads in my opinion.

Run To You is surprisingly less well known. I think it is a great song.

I know it was released as a single but I think that All the man I need is so under rated.

Agreed. But I borderline hate the studio version. I only listen to the live versions on youtube lol

I love all at once and for the love of you. My faves.

One of my favourites Try It On My Own. I was about 13/14 when that came out and it was exactly what I needed to hear at that time.

All her songs were amazing. And she always knew what to do to make them special. God, she was good

I thought All the Man I Need and Run to You were pretty well known! I've always loved the both of them... that's probably why haha I thought that though ha.

'Hold Me' - beautiful duet with the amazing Teddy Pendergrass on her debut album.

All At Once from the very first album. It wasn't released as a single but was released to radio (in 1987)as a 'track' which meant it got a lot of airplay at the time. It was very popular and I am not sure why they didn't officially release it (although it had been a b-side).

For the Love of You from the second is a really great ballad as well, although slightly more up tempo.

I have been listening to the first two albums again in a long time and they are very high quality.

Its all very sad really

I'm surprised she didn't release 'I Didn't Know My Own Strength'

She probably could have released all of the songs from I Look To You album.

I reckon I Look To You the single, if promoted properly could have been a big hit.

Nothin But Love
Call You Tonight (Probably one of her best songs)
Like I Never left Featuring Akon
Salute

and echoeing what someone else said I Didnt Know My Own Strength.

I'm surprised no one has mentioned I Look To You. It's one of my favourite Whitney songs.

Agreed. All At Once is my favourite Whitney track.
