Stunned that this hasn't yet had a thread created (or if it has, then the Search function is once again a mess  ). Anyways...been on a late 1990/early 1991 kick over the past few days, and this is easily one of the best songs of that period. Title track and lead-off to her album of the same name. Also her 8th #1 on the Hot 100, 7th at CHR ("Saving..." didn't get there), and first R&B #1 since "Greatest Love of All". Probably one of my favorites from her. I have a vague memory of remembering the hook to this for years, knowing it was her, but not knowing what song it was. It's possible this was one of the handful of songs that I remember hearing way back when (i.e. when it was current), but who knows. That'd be crazy if true, since I was all of 5 years old in late 1990. |

All I hear these days on the radio is that cheap European remix. Blah.
This is one of my favorite Nippy tracks. The video is her best imo.

Love the song (US version) and the video. Loved the Dronez remix too.
One of my favorite Whitney songs.

Whitney and Babyface outdid themselves. Masterpiece. I'm all about the album version, though.

So good. The lead single to only her third album. Her vocal performance on this is fantastic.

The US mix > the UK mix. Also the Dronez remix is fantastic.

One of my favorites from her. Often heard it on the AC stations (Lite FM 93.9 and 100.3) in my market. B96, WGCI, and maybe V103 also played it when it was out.

30 years ago on this week Whitney scored her 8th #1 hit with I'm Your Baby Tonight. It was a more edgier sound for her at the time and in the end it paid off!

Also No.1 on the R & B chart. Whitney's kind of New Jack Swing. She looks gorgeous in its video!

This is possibly my favorite Whitney song ever.
I also might have been listening to it the moment she died - I got inspiration to play the song out of nowhere on a car ride back to my college campus in 2011 and I found out a few hours later on the news that she was gone :'(.

I guess there is a 2022 version of this track that is charting on R&B.
Top 50 on R&B

This is the Whitney song that turned me from a more casual fan to a mega fan.
I love this song.
It’s still one of my favorites by her.
I was obsessed with the “You Gotta You Gotta Way That Your Making Me Feel I Can..etc etc part of the song.
Her voice was on Fire on this track and actually for the whole “I’m Your Baby Tonight” album.
I thought the song was so funky for her.
She performed it on the Arsineo Hall show back in the day and I think because she had a cold she was a bit looser with her dancing.
Cute performance.
