<p>The Hollywood reporters <a href="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/earshot/whitney-houstons-duet-jordin-sparks-celebrate-sparkle-327199">writes</a> that the song, Houston&#8217;s last known recorded hit before her death in February, &#8220;is an upbeat track almost reminiscent of the early day, 1980&#8242;s Houston pop numbers that first made her a star.&#8221;</p>
<blockquote><p>“Thought we’ve been going through changes, just tryin’ to make it from day to day, tonight don’t you worry about a thing, just cash your cares away,” Houston sings in <em>Celebrate</em>.</p></blockquote>
<p>According to MSNBC, R. Kelly produced the pop track for the film <em>Sparkle</em>, which hits theaters on August 17 and sees Whitney playing mother to three singing teenage sisters from Harlem who form Motown group that suddenly rises to fame in the 1960s.</p>
<p>Sparks, 22, plays one of Houston&#8217;s daughters in the movie.</p>
<p>Check out the trailer for <em>Sparkle</em> below:<br />

<p>Earlier this year, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/package/article/0,,20569493_20573336,00.html">Sparks reminisced</a> what it was like working with Houston on the film.</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;The first day she got [to the set] she&#8217;s scolding me, and I&#8217;m thinking this is the best day ever,&#8221; Sparks told the crowd at the Essence Black Women in Hollywood luncheon at the Beverly Hills Hotel back in February. &#8220;She went from being this unreachable supernova pop star to my costar, friend and someone who was like a mentor to me. It was a gift and an honor to play opposite Whitney Houston in the film.&#8221;</p></blockquote>
