From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

"I Believe in You and Me" is a ballad written by Sandy Linzer and David Wolfert. The song was first recorded and released by the R&B group The Four Tops in 1983. Later in 1996, R&B/pop singer Whitney Houston recorded it for her film The Preacher's Wife and released it as a single.

Song information

The song was written by Linzer and Wolfert in 1982, and the Four Tops released it as a single in 1983 (although the song is, in essence, a solo recording by lead vocalist Levi Stubbs). While it failed to crack the US Top 40, it became a moderate R&B hit for the group on the US R&B chart, peaking at #40 on the Hot Soul Singles chart in early 1983. Fourteen years later, Whitney Houston's cover of the song peaked at number four on the main US Hot 100 singles chart. The song is the biggest hit from The Preacher's Wife soundtrack album, which is the best selling gospel album in history.
