WHITNEY HOUSTON & CE CE WINANS: "Ce Ce's Place," 1998

Ce Ce Winans / Whitney Houston Interview, Odyssey Channel, 1998.

This interview almost didn't happen. Whitney was in town for the Dove Awards (and another duet with Ce Ce) but had no plans to appear on CeCe's Place At the last minute, CeCe's brother Be Be pulled out of his appearance, and the producers politely pulled strings to get Whitney to do this favor for CeCe -- and us. Security was tight and I didn't see Whitney until she walked on the set for our interview and this performance. Bobby Brown, on the other hand, walked around freely and made his presence very obvious (you can see him stand and applaud right within the camera frame at the end of the song segment clip, linked below). The interview and performance were featured on "Entertainment Tonight" a short while later on the strength of news that Whitney had announced a film collaboration with Will Smith. (This deal never actually reached beyond its initial stages.)

A bit of TV history...right there on a little Nashville sound stage.
