Soul diva Whitney Houston has made a surprise comeback at a performance by her good friend Cece Winans.

Whitney has had a tough few years with her troubled private life - including two spells in rehab - making more headlines than her music.

But she put all that behind her with a barnstorming performance of her and Cece's hit, Count On Me, from the Waiting to Exhale soundtrack.

The lucky audience at the Always Sisters Conference in Nashville, Tennessee, were treated to vintage Whitney, looking and sounding good.

At the peak of her popularity her cover of Dolly Parton's I Will Always Love You topped the UK charts for 10 weeks in a row.

She has been through a divorce and seen her last two albums flop but hopefully Whitney will soon be making headlines again for all the right reasons.
