Whitney Houston & Kygo's Cover of Steve Winwood's Hit 'Higher Lover' Hit No. 1 | Billboard News

A song nearly 30 years in the making that deftly combines an iconic voice with a contemporary star, Whitney Houston and Kygo’s cover of Steve Winwood’s 1986 No. 1 “Higher Love” recently became the legend’s first posthumous Billboard Hot 100 hit. Produced by the Norwegian DJ utilizing vocals recorded in 1990, it’s part of a larger push by Houston’s sister-in-law and estate executor Pat (with help from music and marketing company Primary Wave) to remind fans why they fell in love with Whitney in the first place.
