Whitney Houston sang All At Once twice at Sanremo music festival in 1986. Her live performance of All At Once got a huge standing ovation and Whitney gave the audience an encore the audience requested.

The song All At Once is written by Jeffrey Osborne & Michael Masser. Michael Masser the music & Jeffrey Osborne the lyrics.

The song is from Whitney Houston’s self-titled debut album and was released as a single in several European countries as well as in Japan in 1985–1986. It was not released as a single in North America, but did receive steady radio airplay on Pop and R&B/Soul stations there. It is a ballad about a love who leaves without warning and the heartbreak that is felt afterwards.

Houston performed the song at the 1987 American Music Awards as well as Italy's Sanremo Music Festival. Houston is the first and, so far, only singer to get an encore. Whitney also performed the song in Japan and Europe during her Greatest Love Tour in 1986.
