I Will Always Love You Whitney Houston!


Award-winning "I Will Always Love You" singer Whitney Houston died, she was 48. The timing of her death, the eve of the Grammys, the biggest music event of the year, makes the horrible news even more tragic.

Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American recording artist, actress, producer, and model

She was one of the most celebrated female singers of all time, with hits including I Will Always Love You and Saving All My Love For You, Run To You, I Have Nothing,

Whitney Houston's sound was superb and distinct. She was the perfect melding of the styles of her mother, gospel singer Cissy Houston; cousin, 1960s pop singer Dionne Warwick and godmother, queen of soul Aretha Franklin.

Houston's self-titled debut album topped the charts and was certified diamond. Her career was impenetrable throughout the release of several follow up albums, 1987's "Whitney," 1990's "I'm Your Baby Tonight," and 1992's "The Bodyguard" soundtrack.

She was a model who appeared in "Glamour" and "Cosmopolitan" magazines.

Houston's first film role was in The Bodyguard, released in 1992 and co-starring Kevin Costner. Houston played Rachel Marron, a star who is stalked by a crazed fan and hires a bodyguard to protect her. This is one of  beautiful movies I love and most memorable movie moments.

Whitney Houston's "Greatest Love Of All", from her first album,  was the pop ballad blockbuster of the U.S. pop charts 25 years ago.

Her awards include two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 22 American Music Awards, among a total of 415 career awards in her lifetime. Houston was also one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums, singles and videos worldwide.

I Will Always Love You is the best selling single by a female artist of all time

I will always continue to listen to the wonderful songs of Whitney Houston. To you Whitney, I will always love you.

Somebody (Who Loves Me)" (1987). Houston became one of the few black female artists 
whose music videos received heavy rotation on MTV and other music video channels.
