Who Broke Whitney's Heart?
- A Deep Dive into the Songwriting Credits*
So, you’re wondering who penned that heart-wrenching masterpiece, Where Do Broken Hearts Go? Let’s dive into the murky waters of songwriting credits, shall we?
The Masterminds Behind the Melody
Now, you might think Whitney Houston, with her god-given vocals, whipped up this ballad in a moment of heartbreak. Wrong! While her voice gave the song its soul-stirring power, the actual architects of this emotional rollercoaster were two guys named Frank Wildhorn and Chuck Jackson.
I know, right? Who would’ve guessed? It’s like finding out that the guy who invented the wheel was actually a short, balding accountant. But there you have it. These two put their heads together and created a song that would become an anthem for the heartbroken worldwide.
A Little Bit of Songwriting Trivia
Did you know that Frank Wildhorn originally wrote 90% of the song in just 40 minutes? Talk about a burst of inspiration! He must have had a really bad breakup or something. And Chuck Jackson came in and added his magic touch to finish it off.
Whitney herself wasn't a huge fan of the song at first. Can you imagine? One of the greatest vocalists of all time turning down a potential hit? But Clive Davis, the music mogul with a golden ear, convinced her to record it, and the rest is history.
So, Where Do Broken Hearts REALLY Go?
While the song asks a poignant question, it doesn't actually provide an answer. But if you're looking for a place to send your broken heart, I suggest trying these options:
- To the moon: It's far away and no one will find it.
- To your ex: Let them carry the weight of your heartbreak. (Just kidding, don't do that.)
