“Celebrate” may have been Whitney Houston‘s last recorded song, but the movie “Sparkle” will bring us plenty more precious gems from the fallen icon.

Whitney–who plays the mother of three daughters in “Sparkle”— sings “His Eye Is On The Sparrow” and the rendition will bring a tear to your eye. Her voice wasn’t fully back at the time of her death but during the filming of the remake, she was fully sober and working towards a full recovery.
