惠妮休斯頓(Whitney Huston)是我非常喜愛的女歌手,雖然她後來一些脫序的行為讓她光環漸褪,甚至因為吸毒而英年早逝,但其特別的嗓音所唱出的那些經典歌曲,依然無人能取代。
Could I Have This Kiss Forever由拉丁情歌王子安立奎(Enrique Iglesias)與惠妮所合唱,收錄在安立奎於1999年發行的「Enrique」專輯中。
Could I Have This Kiss Forever當年拿下了歐洲百大單曲榜(European Hot 100 Singles)冠軍,在歐洲多個國家流行榜都進入前10名。Billboard百大單曲榜最高名次則為52名。
或許是因為收錄在安立奎的專輯中(後來也有收錄在惠妮的精選輯中),這首歌曲的知名度似乎沒有惠妮其他歌曲高,但是不管是演唱的技巧或是歌曲本身的質感,都不輸惠妮所有的成名曲。
