The Bodyguard: Original Soundtrack Album is the first soundtrack album by American singer and actress Whitney Houston, released on November 17, 1992 by Arista Records to promote the film of the same name. It also contains songs by her label mates Lisa Stansfield, Kenny G, The S.O.U.L. S.Y.S.T.E.M. and Curtis Stigers as well as Joe Cocker. The album is credited as a Houston album, since she recorded the majority of the tracks. The Bodyguard was Houston's first box office film. Initially, Houston was reluctant to take on the role but was convinced by co-producer and co-star Kevin Costner to take it, to which she agreed. Arista Records president Clive Davis had apprehensions of Houston's role in the film without much music from the script, convincing Costner and the film's distributor Warner Bros. Pictures to add songs to the film, in which Houston made a deal for back royalties for its music and attained creative control. Houston agreed to record six tracks, five of which were featured in the film. Houston began working on the soundtrack in November 1991, and contacted previous producers of her work, including Babyface, Antonio "L.A."
