The Clark Center in Arroyo Grande is bringing Whitney Houston’s musical legacy to life on Sunday, October 26 in a critically-acclaimed live tribute show described as “mind-blowingly spot on.”
The Greatest Love of All features the breathtaking vocals of Belinda Davids, a chart-topping artist in her home country of South Africa who was selected from nearly 15,000 considered globally for this marquee role.
The two-hour production is a heartfelt journey through Houston’s greatest hits including “I Will Always Love You,” “I Wanna Dance With Somebody,” “I Have Nothing,” “Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” and more.
With the accompaniment of a live band, backing vocalists and choreographed dancers, plus state-of-the-art sound, lighting, visual and theatrical effects, the show is crafted to capture the essence of one of the world’s most revered singers.
Davids started life in the small coastal town of Port Elizabeth, South Africa, where her musical family of seven children spent much of its time in church, singing and surrounded by gospel music. She began performing professionally at age 14 and became adept at many genres, but her true love has always been R&B. Blessed with a four-octave vocal range, she has never had vocal training.
In 2018, Belinda debuted a special orchestral concert series of The Greatest Love of All in the UK and sang accompanied by The National Philharmonic Concert Orchestra in some of the continent’s most iconic venues. Since 2023 she’s been back on the road touring internationally.
