Encyclopedia: Whitney Houston

Whitney Elizabeth Houston (born on August 9, 1963) is a Grammy and Emmy Award winning American R&B/pop singer, actress, former fashion model, record and movie producer. She is well known worldwide for her powerful five-octave soulful coloratura soprano voice,[1] vocal power, range and melismatic skill, often reffered to as "The Voice", or "Queen Of Soulful Pop/R&B". Her personal life later became the subject of controversy because of her marriage to Bobby Brown allegations of drug abuse, especially after repeated cancellations of public appearances and erratic behaviour. Houston has since undergone an intense rehabilitation process and is currently recording a comeback album which will be released at some point in 2007.

Whitney Houston is inarguably one of the of the biggest and most influential pop stars of all time, having sold over 200 million records worldwide. Her accomplishments as a hitmaker are extraordinary; just to scratch the surface, she became the first artist ever to have seven consecutive singles hit number one, and her 1992 Dolly Parton cover "I Will Always Love You" became nothing less than the biggest hit single in rock history. Houston was able to handle big adult contemporary ballads, effervescent, stylish dance-pop, and slick urban contemporary soul with equal dexterity; the result was an across-the-board appeal that was matched by scant few artists of her era, and helped her become one of the first African American artists to find success on MTV in Michael Jackson's wake.
