I'm Your Baby Tonight Released November 6, 1990 Recorded November 1989–August 1990 Genre Length 53 :45 Label Producer
I'm Your Baby Tonight is the third studio album by American singer Whitney Houston . It released on November 6, 1990 by Arista Records . The album has been certified quadruple platinum in the US by the RIAA .[7] [8] For the album, Houston had more control with the album and worked with more R&B and urban artists and songwriters such as L.A. Reid and Babyface , as well as singer Luther Vandross , and did a collaboration with Stevie Wonder , as well as working with previous producers Narada Michael Walden and Michael Masser , making the album a more R&B sounding album than a pop and soul sounding album, while adding dance-pop and new jack swing sounds to the album.
