	Actors - Saving All My Love for You

"Saving All My Love for You" is the second single from Whitney Houston's self-titled first album. The single was released in August 1985. It was written by Michael Masser and Gerry Goffin, and originally recorded by Marilyn McCoo and Billy Davis, Jr. The song features Houston patiently waiting for her sugardaddy to return from his trip to visit another woman, unable to wait for him to return.

Chart information

Davis's decision not to record the song would have been a major mistake in Houston's career. Released in August 1985, "Saving All My Love for You" rode all the way to number one of the Billboard Hot 100 in late October 1985, becoming Houston's first number one in the United States, and eventually spent fifteen weeks in the top forty. The song also reached number one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles and Tracks chart, and the Adult Contemporary Charts.

Internationally, the single was received well in most areas, most notably becoming Houston's first number one in the United Kingdom. The single also managed to reach number five in Switzerland, eighteen in Germany, and twenty in Australia.

"Saving All My Love for You" won the 1986 Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and the American Music Award for Favorite R&B/Soul Video.

Music video

The music video was directed by Stuart Orme, and is a sexy, sophisticated video, featuring Houston waiting for her sugardaddy to return, singing her troubles away.
