New York: Whitney Houston's final recording is being released.

The song, Celebrate, is a duet with Jordin Sparks from Houston's last movie, a remake of the film Sparkle.

The song debuted Monday on Ryan Seacrest's website and will be available on iTunes June 5.

Sparks performed a tribute to Houston Sunday night at the Billboard Music Awards, singing I Will Always Love You as Houston's daughter Bobbi Kristina wiped away tears.

Houston's death in February at age 48 came as the singer had been attempting a comeback and had finished filming Sparkle.

She drowned in a bathtub in Beverly Hills, California. Authorities said her death was complicated by cocaine use and heart disease. Sparkle opens in theaters August 17.
