Sept. 1, 2009 — -- Whitney Houston performed today in Central Park for a concert to air Wednesday on "Good Morning America."

Houston delighted a crowd of devoted fans who waited for hours at Central Park's Rumsey Playfield ... and waited seven years for her comeback album, "I Look to You."

She performed four songs: "Million Dollar Bill" and "I Look to You" from her new album, as well as classics "My Love Is Your Love" and "I'm Every Woman."

Watch the Whitney Houston concert event tomorrow on "GMA" at 7 a.m. ET and CLICK HERE for full coverage of her legendary career!

The most honored female artist of all time, Whitney Houston is the only artist ever to have seven consecutive multiplatinum albums, beating out even the Beatles.

Legendary music producer Clive Davis remembers Houston as that young girl who first gave us her remarkable sound, made famous in songs like "The Greatest Love of All" and "I Will Always Love You."

Just the name Whitney Houston brings to mind that voice: the musical range, the enormous range of emotion, and a kind of power that can make a perfect arrow out of just one note.

"The time that I first saw her singing in her mother's act in a club called Sweet Waters right here in Manhattan ... it was such a stunning impact," Davis told "Good Morning America" anchor Diane Sawyer earlier this year. "To hear this young girl breathe such fire into this song. I mean, it really sent the proverbial tingles up my spine."
