"She was without question the greatest vocalist in the world," Davis told TODAY's Hoda Kotb during a special visit Tuesday to announce the release of "Whitney Houston Live: Her Greatest Performances," which will be out Nov. 10 as a CD and DVD. "There was no one like her," he added. The release will feature 16 live songs on CD and 19 performances on DVD. Memorable tracks will include "You Give Good Love" in a 1985 "Tonight Show" appearance; "The Star Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XXV in 1991; and "I Will Always Love You" at The Concert for a New South Africa in 1994.
