On August 9th, 1963, Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born in Newark, New Jersey. She is the daughter of Emily "Cissy" Houston, a Grammy-winning gospel singer, and John R. Houston, who oversaw his daughter's production company.

She came from a long line of singers and performers, so she was no stranger to the entertainment business. Along with her godmother Darlene Love, her cousins Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick, and her mother's vocal group, the "Sweet Inspirations," who sang backup for Aretha Franklin, are all well-known vocalists.

She learnt to play the piano when she was eleven years old and started singing as a soloist in the gospel choir at her church. She studied singing at a Catholic school and occasionally performed in nightclubs with her mother, who taught her.

 

Whitney Houston Career

 

She sang background vocals on the Michael Zager Band record "Life's a Party" in 1977, and on Chaka Khan's single "I'm Every Woman" the following year. Her mother declined the offer so that she could continue high school despite being given the chance to sign with a recording business.

She began modeling at the age of seventeen and appeared in various magazines, including "Seventeen," where she made history by becoming the first African American to appear on the cover. In addition, she started acting, making appearances in episodes of TV shows like "Gimme a Break," as she worked on honing her voice abilities.

She joined 'Arista Records' in 1983. The following couple of years were spent by President Clive Davis assembling producers and lyricists to combine her gospel-like sound with modern songs.

Her debut album, "Whitney Houston," which was released in 1985, eventually surpassed it in terms of sales. She toured Europe and the United States to packed houses and won various awards.

Hits soared to the top of the Billboard charts in the late 1980s. She produced four number-one singles from one album, setting a record for the most consecutive number-one singles by a woman. She sang the national anthem at the "Super Bowl" in 1991 while considering an acting career and the main part in "The Bodyguard."

She married the singer Bobby Brown in 1992 after meeting him a few years before. She took the part in "The Bodyguard," and for the majority of the filming, she was carrying her daughter Bobbi Kristina.

The movie made $390 million at the box office, and Whitney Houston's cover of Dolly Parton's "I Will Always Love You" from the soundtrack became one of the all-time longest-running number one singles.

She had reached the zenith of her career by 1993. Later, she appeared in and produced a number of successful films, including "Waiting to Exhale" (1995), "The Preacher's Wife" (1996), and "Sparkle" (2012).

 

Whitney Houston Personal Legacy & Life

 

Bobby Brown and Whitney started dating after meeting each other at an awards show. Eventually, after three years of courtship, the pair exchanged vows on July 18, 1992.

However, she and Bobby Brown got divorced in 2007. She was granted custody of Bobbi Kristina.

She battled alcohol and drug problems for a very long time. She attended rehab twice and enrolled in an outpatient course in 2011.

She provided support to a number of children's charities. Her efforts and legacy are carried on through the "Whitney Foundation for Children."

The National Birth Defect Center's "Hearing and Language Disorder Clinic" was renamed the "Whitney Houston Hearing and Language Disorder Clinic" by Boston.

On February 11th, 2012, she was found unresponsive in her suite's bathtub at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. "Accidental drowning" was given as the death's cause.
