<P> The label , wanting Houston to have a solid urban fanbase first , released `` You Give Good Love '' as the first single . The soulful ballad would top the R&B chart and surprise the label by crossing over and reaching number three on the pop chart while the singer was playing at nightclubs in the United States . The jazzy - pop `` Saving All My Love for You '' was released next and really put her on the map . The single was an even bigger success hitting number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . It would reach number one in the United Kingdom and was successful around the world . With her first number one , Houston began appearing on high - profile talk shows and became the opening act for Jeffrey Osborne and Luther Vandross . Thinking About You was released as the single only to R&B - oriented radio stations . It peaked at number 10 on the Hot Black Singles chart and at number 24 on the Hot Dance / Disco Club Play chart . </P>
