Whitney
Elizabeth Houston (born August 9, 1963) is an American pop and
R&B singer, actress, film producer, record producer,
songwriter, and former fashion model. Her crossover success opened
doors for other African Americans, particularly women, to find
success in pop music. She has frequently been referred to as
"The Voice". She is known mainly for her "powerful,
penetrating pop-gospel voice." After Houston married former
R&B singer Bobby Brown at the height of her career, rumors of
drug and spousal abuse started to affect her career. This led to a
decline in her public image and her album sales dropped during the
2000s. Her personal troubles and erratic behavior would be talked
about more than any of her music, regularly appearing in the
tabloid press. Houston underwent two drug rehab programs in 2005

divorced Brown and gained custody of their only daughter. She has
since been working on her 7th studio album with music mogul and
close friend and mentor Clive Davis, who confirmed that the album
will be released in November 2008 ... more |
