Today, we honour Esther Brown, Woody Strode and their contributions to the 1956 movie ‘The Ten Commandments‘, a movie designed to tell the story of Moses, the Prince of Egypt.

Woody was an elite athlete and WW2 soldier and found fame in Hollywood after the producer Walter Mirisch saw him wrestling and asked him to play in the 1951 movie ‘The Lion Hunters.’ 

He was then cast in the aforementioned ‘Commandments’ five years later and performed alongside Ms. Brown.

Ready to revisit their magic.

Kygo, with the support and permission of and from her relatives, used Whitney Houston’s voice to build a track named ‘Higher Love.’

The track’s vocal was recorded by Houston in 1990 as a cover of the Steve Winwood track of the same name and was supposed to appear on her third album ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’ but was pulled because Clive Davis felt…

 we didn’t want her being a cover artist at that time.

Now, years after her death and 29 years after the cover was recorded, Kygo has worked his magic with it and released it to support his discography and inject some much-needed positivity  into a dark world.
