１９８０年代初　美國歌壇靈魂樂天后艾瑞莎富蘭克林（Aretha Franklin）成功東山再起

但８０年代末　她的事業再度走下坡

１９８９年５月　４４歲的她推出［Through The Storm］大碟

雖然同名歌曲打入美國Billboard單曲榜＃１６　專輯卻升到＃５５便下滑　至今只賣出２３萬張　商業成績不佳

 

１９８９年７月　艾瑞莎富蘭克林發行大碟第三單曲〔It Isnt , It Wasnt , It Aint Gonna Be／現在不是,以前不是, 未來也不是〕

邀來教女──２６歲的黑人天后惠妮休斯頓（Whitney Houston）頓合唱

這首節奏明快強勁的New Jack Swing／流行靈魂舞曲由創作名家黛安華倫（Diane Warren）＆Albert Hammond合寫

常跟兩名歌姬合作的Narada Michael Walden製作

不過單曲版則由Teddy Riely&Gene Griffin混音再發行

儘管惠妮聲勢如日中天, 但仍提不起單曲買氣

〔It Isnt , It Wasnt , It Aint Gonna Be〕只升到美國Billboard單曲榜＃４１（附榜成績較佳：黑人榜＃５, 舞曲播放榜＃１８）　加拿大＃４３

１１月在英國以第三主打發行，拿到單曲榜＃２９──這還是［Through The Storm］數首單曲在當地名次最高的一首

由於成績不理想, 導致兩大歌姬的合作常被忽略, 連精選輯也很少收錄,成為遺珠之一,儘管歌曲是首流靈魂佳作
