Whitney Houston, like Aretha Franklin, started out in church singing under her mother’s management. She took the entire music industry by storm when she signed with Clive Davis.

During her career, Houston sang with many top stars in different genres of music, helping her become an international star. Houston also became a movie star when she co-starred with Kevin Costner in The Bodyguard.

In 2009, Guinness World Records cited her as the most awarded female act of all time. Houston is one of pop music’s best-selling music artists of all-time, with an estimated 170-200 million records sold worldwide.

She truly is the greatest female singer of all-time and her legacy will undoubtedly live on for decades!
