“Find your strength in love,” Whitney Houston sings near the end of a new live album, “The Concert for a New South Africa (Durban).” She spends a full minute delivering those five syllables.

The song is “Greatest Love of All.” At the start of the final line, Houston darts from note to note. On the word “strength,” her amazing alto blooms, climbs and adds vibrato. When she reaches the word “love,” she playfully skips through several notes and lets the last one linger, the power of its beauty matching the message.
