In June 1988, Whitney performed at Freedomfest, a concert for then-imprisoned Nelson Mandela held at Wembley Stadium in London. She opened her set with “Didn’t We Almost Have It All” from her second album, Whitney, which is celebrating its 35th anniversary this month! Whitney later paid tribute to President Mandela with a performance at the White House Rose Garden in 1994, and performed three concerts in South Africa later that year.
