Whitney Houston‘s last known recording before her death, the R. Kelly-produced Sparkle song “Celebrate”, is getting the music video treatment. In the clip, the joyful duet with Jordin Sparks is played during a house party, and even Whitney is able to join in: Houston’s scenes from the movie musical are projected on a screen while her Sparkle co-stars celebrate the pop icon’s memory. 

“What we wanted to do was make sure that this was a fun, happy video and just kind of dedicating it to her,” Jordin told Entertainment Tonight about the tune. “What better song to leave for people to hear than a song that is so upbeat and just so happy and so encouraging?”

Sparkle, a remake of the 1976 movie musical, hits theaters August 17.
