Qualifying Heat is the 13th album by Thelma Houston. While the back failed to make much impact in the Pop market, the album became a success in both the Urban and Club/Dance music markets. Includes the hits "You Used To Hold Me So Tight", "(I Guess) It Must Be Love" and "I'd Rather Spend The Bad Times With You Than The Good Times With Someone New." This album has yet to be reissued to CD domestically. On August 20, 2007, this album was reissued as an import title including a bonus track titled, "Standing In The Light" (from her 1983 album).
