105.7 KOKZ is your home for Classic American Top 40 countdowns every weekend! This Sunday morning at 8, Casey Kasem will feature the top hits from July 13th, 1985, you’ll hear this song on the show, from Whitney Houston with “You Give Good Love”.

The song was her very first hit from her “Whitney Houston” debut album. The song was a huge hit, reaching #3 on the pop charts and becoming the first of 30 top 40 hits, including 11 number one songs, including her legendary performance of “I Will Always Love You” that sold over 20 million copies worldwide.

Sadly her life spiraled into drug and alcohol abuse and she passed away at the age of 48 in 2012. A tragic end to the life of one of the world’s finest vocalists. Take a look and listen to then 21 year old Whitney with “You Give Good Love” today’s Forgotten 45.
