NEW YORK – Arista Records is rereleasing Whitney Houston's soaring version of "The Star-Spangled Banner," which became a unifying song for Americans during the Gulf War, in response to last week's terrorists attacks in New York, Washington and Pennsylvania.
Houston performed the song at Super Bowl XXV on Jan. 27, 1991, when the United States was at war with Iraq. Her rendition brought many to tears.
The single already is on the radio, and Arista hopes to have it in record stores by next week, spokeswoman Laura Swanson said.
