This week’s classic From The Vault comes courtesy of the legendary Whitney Houston. While the renown vocalist has delivered many a notable performance, one of the most potent has to be her live showing at the 21st Annual World Music Awards in 1994.

A rousing showcase of a voice that can only be described as a gift from God.
