Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born on August 9th, 1963, in Newark, New Jersey. She is the daughter of Cissy Houston, a successful rhythm and blues backup singer, and cousin of singer Dionne Warwick.
Whitney began singing in a church choir in her hometown, and was singing solo by the age of 11. She sang as a backup singer for Chaka Khan, Lou Rawls, and her mother.
And although Whitney modeled in various magazines and appeared on TV shows such as Give Me A Break, she was destined to sing. And sing she did.
Whitney Houston's first hit was a duet with Teddy Pendergrass in 1984, called "Hold Me." Although Whitney signed a contract with Arista Records in 1983, her self-titled debut album wasn't released until 1985. Nevertheless, it sold over 22 million copies.
That album produced hits such as "You Give Good Love," "Saving All My Love For You," "How Will I Know," and "The Greatest Love of All." Houston cleaned up at several awards shows, and received two Grammys (Favorite Soul/R&B Single for "You Give Good Love" and Favorite Soul/R&B Video for "Saving All My Love For You"), and two Billboard Music Awards (Top New Pop Artist and Top New Black Artist (combined LPs and singles). |
