Song Writing Team
Thompson was able to devote more of her attention to music, one of her greatest abilities, during her engagement with Foster. The English major had always been a poet and had previously worked as a lyricist on a number of well-known projects. She reached new heights in her songwriting career with Foster.
The duo worked together on other songs, such as Whitney Houston’s rendition of “I Have Nothing” in The Bodyguard, which was nominated for an Academy Award. But even though Thompson and Foster got along well in the studio, things were not as perfect as they seemed.
