"Count on Me" is a duet between Pop/R&B singer Whitney Houston and gospel singer CeCe Winans. Released in early 1996, the song became the fourth (second by Houston) single from the soundtrack of the feature film, Waiting to Exhale. It later peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, and was certified Gold. The song is unrelated to the 1978 Jefferson Starship hit ballad of the same name, which also peaked at number eight on the Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart.
