"I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)" is the first single from Whitney Houston's second studio album Whitney. It was produced by Narada Michael Walden, and written by George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam of the band Boy Meets Girl, who had previously written the number-one Whitney Houston hit "How Will I Know". The original arrangement was more of a country tune but was transformed to make it a dance song by Walden.
The music won two awards:
1988: Grammy Award for "Best Female Pop Vocal Performance"
1988: American Music Award for "Favorite Pop/Rock Single"
The song also won "Best Music Video" at the First Annual Garden State (New Jersey) Music Awards. In 1988, Whitney Houston opened the night of the 30th Annual Grammy Awards singing "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)". (in Wikipedia)
