Legendary Whitney Houston's last movie project, "Sparkle" will be release in August of this year.
Her soulful rendition of "His Eye is on the Sparrow" will be the last chance to see her perform new music. Her performance was filmed for a scene in the upcoming movie "Sparkle," in which Houston stars as the mother of a family of girls who form a singing group and struggle with fame and addiction.
Houston's untimely death last February 11 in the bathroom of her room at the Beverly Hilton Hotel thwarted any chance for the singer to rebound her career from years of damage to her voice and reputation caused by drug abuse and erratic behavior.
Houston's performance for the said film, brought tears to the eyes of those on the "Sparkle" set.
The film's executive producer, Howard Rosenman, said the film will show audiences a "Whitney that people have never seen, Whitney that people have never heard."
The film is a remake of a 1976 film written by Joel Schumaker and Rosenman. Jordin Sparks,who rose to fame after winning the sixth season of "American Idol." also stars in this movie
Whitney Houston apparently felt comfortable returning to those roots in recent months. In addition to her work in "Sparkle," she sang "Yes, Jesus Loves Me" for an audience in Hollywood two days before her death. It was her final performance.
