Legacy of Linda Clifford

I'm Your Baby Tonight is the third studio album by American singer Whitney Houston. It was released on November 6, 1990, by Arista Records. Released during a time black music critics accused Houston of neglecting her R&B and soul music roots following the release of her pop-heavy eponymous second album, Whitney, three years before, the album signaled a change in Houston's musical direction as she attained creative control for the first time in her career and received an executive producer credit. The record incorporated the then-current popular sound of new jack swing music along with elements of hip-hop, funk and dance, which helped to shift Houston's focus from love ballads and occasional dance songs to creating a "firmer dance record". The album was further credited later as a "turning point" in Houston's career and which helped to cement her legacy in popular music.

The Five Stairsteps, known as "The First Family of Soul" and later "The Invisible Man's Band", were an American Chicago soul group made up of five of Betty and Clarence Burke Sr.'s six children: Alohe Jean, Clarence Jr., James, Dennis, and Kenneth "Keni", and briefly, Cubie. They are best known for the 1970 song "O-o-h Child", listed at number 402 on Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
