Happy March! As promised, GBN is happy to announce the name of the winner of our “Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody” DVD Blu-Ray and bundle pack giveaway, courtesy of Sony Pictures Home Entertainment.

Congratulations to Glenn McHarg! Glenn, we will be contacting you shortly via email to arrange delivery of your free bundle pack directly from Sony.

Directed by Kasi Lemmons (Harriet, Eve’s Bayou, Candyman) and written by Academy Award® nominee Anthony McCarten (Best Adapted Screenplay, The Two Popes, 2019), produced by legendary music executive Clive Davis and starring BAFTA Award® winner Naomi Ackie, the film  — which is currently available on all digital platforms as well as DVD/Blu-Ray — is a no-holds-barred portrait of the complex and multifaceted woman behind The Voice.

From New Jersey choir girl to one of the best-selling and most awarded recording artists of all time, audiences are taken on a journey through Whitney Houston’s trailblazing life and career, with show-stopping performances and a soundtrack of the icon’s most beloved hits as you’ve never heard them before.

Thank you so much to all who entered the giveaway. GBN is always in the sharing spirit, so keep an eye out for other giveaway announcements in the near future.
