You Give Good Love
"You Give Good Love" is the debut solo single by American singer Whitney Houston for her 1985 eponymous debut studio album. The song was written by La Forrest 'La La' Cope and produced by Kashif. Originally offered to Roberta Flack, it was one of the first songs recorded for Houston's debut album.
The song was released on February 22, 1985 as the album's leading single. The release of "You Give Good Love" was originally designed to give Houston a noticeable position and standing within the black music market first, eventually topping the US R&B singles charts on both Billboard and Cashbox.
However, it also made an unexpected crossover pop hit, peaking at number three on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, her first of what would be many Top 10 hits. It was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). The song also was successful in Canada, where it gave Houston her first top ten single there.
In other countries such as the United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand and Japan, its success in those countries were more moderate.
The song won Favorite Soul/R&B Single at the 13th American Music Awards, and was nominated for Best R&B Song and Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 28th Grammy Awards in 1986.
The music video for the song, directed by Michael Lindsay-Hogg, shows Houston performing at a club and a photographer focusing his camera on her.
Houston performed the song on various TV shows and awards ceremonies such as The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, The 1985 R&B Countdown and The 1st Soul Train Music Awards of 1987, as well as on her first three tours and select dates of The Bodyguard World Tour (1993–94) and My Love Is Your Love World Tour (1999).
"You Give Good Love" is also featured on four of Houston's compilation albums, Whitney: The Greatest Hits (2000), Love, Whitney (2001), The Essential Whitney Houston (2011) and I Will Always Love You: The Best of Whitney Houston (2012).
