‘The Greatest Love of All’

/ 08:16 AM February 14, 2012

Gisuwat diay ang lyrics sa “Greatest Love of All” sa usa ka breast cancer patient nga si Linda Creed. Gihimoan kini og tuno o melodiya ni Michael Masser. Ila kining gihimong kantaha para ni jazz guitarist ug vocalist George Benson nga mi-perform niini para sa soundtrack sa pelikula nga “The Greatest” nga kabahin sa kinabuhi ni heavyweight boxing legend Muhammad Ali.

Gamay ra ang nakadungong sa version ni George Benson. Ug ang pipila nga nakadungog sa iyang version malagmit nakalimot na niini. Ang singer nga ma-associate nato sa maong kanta mao man si Whitney Houston.

Ania ang lyrics sa iyang version:

[Verse I]

FEATURED STORIES

I believe the children are our future/ Teach them well and let them lead the way/ Show them all the beauty they possess inside/ Give them a sense of pride to make it easier/ Let the children’s laughter remind us how we used to be/

[Verse II]

Everybody’s searching for a hero/ People need someone to look up to/ I never found anyone to fulfill my needs/ A lonely place to be/ So I learned to depend on me

[Refrain]

I decided long ago, never to walk in anyone’s shadows/ If I fail, if I succeed/ At least I live as I believe/ No matter what they take from me/ They can’t take away my dignity/

[Chorus]

Because the greatest love of all/ Is happening to me/ I found the greatest love of all/ Inside of me/ The greatest love of all/ Is easy to achieve/ Learning to love yourself/ It is the greatest love of all

[Repeat Verse I, Refrain and Chorus]

And if by chance, that special place/ That you’ve been dreaming of/ Leads you to a lonely place/ Find your strength in love

Ambot lang kahag makatupong ba ang “Greatest Love of All” sa “My Way” isip usa sa mga videoke great songs. Hinuon, kun dunay singing contest sa mga bata, ang mga contestant nga taas og range o di ba hinuon tagning lag tingog pakantahon dayon niining maong number.

Pero ang di malalis mao ang influence ni Whitney Houston natong mga Pinoy. Dihay comedian sa TV niadto nga gihinganlan og Whitney Tyson (hinuon may pagka racist kining maong inamaw). Ang kurog-kurog sa ngabil ni Zsazsa Padilla gikaingon nga gikan ni Ms Houston. Kun si Regine Velasquez maoy local alter ego sa mga beautician, sa foreign artists si Whitney maoy ilang gi-idolize.

Pagka 1986, ang tuig nga gikanta ni Whitney Houston ang “Greatest Love of All” sa pre-Grammy gala, mao sab ang tuig nga namatay ang lyricist niani sa edad nga 38 anyos. Pagka petsa dose (onse sa America) karong buwana, nakit-an ang patay nga lawas ni Whitney Houston, 48 anyos, sa Beverly Hilton Hotel sa vesperas sa Grammy Awards. Dinhi ning maong hotel himuon ang mga pre-Grammy gala. Gani sa pre-Grammy party man niadtong 1986 unang mi-perform si Houston para sa iyang mga kauban sa music industry. Karong tuiga, sa maong panagtigom, pipila lang ka oras gikan sa iyang pagpanaw naghimo silag instant tribute alang kaniya. Wala pa masuta ang hinungdan sa iyang kamatayon, apan daghan ang gaduda nga may kalabutan kinis iyang problema sa drugas.
