Which singer did Whitney Houston duet with on the 1998 song 'When You Believe'?

Whitney Houston dueted with Mariah Carey on the 1998 song “When You Believe.” The song was created for DreamWorks’ animated film The Prince of Egypt, where it appeared during the end credits in a pop version recorded by Houston and Carey.

Written by Stephen Schwartz, with additional contributions from Kenneth “Babyface” Edmonds, the song connected the film’s biblical story with a contemporary inspirational ballad. Houston and Carey were two of the biggest vocal stars of the 1990s, making their collaboration a major event in pop music.

The single was released on October 28, 1998, and was associated with both singers’ projects: Houston’s album My Love Is Your Love and Carey’s compilation album #1’s. It later won the Academy Award for Best Original Song at the 71st Academy Awards in 1999.

A common mix-up is assuming the entire film version is sung by Houston and Carey. In the film itself, the narrative version features other performers, while the famous commercial single is the Houston-Carey duet.
