Whitney Elizabeth Houston is a Grammy award winning, R&B singer, actress, film producer, and former model. She is well-known for her powerful vocals, melismatic vocal inflections, and expansive vocal range.

Houston was one of a few black artists to receive heavy rotation on MTV in the 1980s, in the network's early years. She is the only female artist to have two albums in the top 35 best selling albums in the US, and is the only artist to have a record seven consecutive Billboard Hot 100 #1 hit singles. Houston has also won twenty-three American Music Awards, a record for a musical act. Houston is the fourth best-selling female recording artist of all-time in the US, behind Barbra Streisand, Madonna, and Mariah Carey, and she has sold over 170 million records worldwide!!
Houston is considered one of the 100 most fascinating black women of the 20th century according to Ebony magazine.

After marrying R&B singer Bobby Brown, rumors of drug and spousal abuse led to a decline in her album sales and her public image, as she entered into drug rehabilitation twice. After a successful second program in 2006, Houston divorced Bobby Brown and gained custody of their daughter. She has since been working on her 7th studio album with music mogul and close friend Clive Davis.

In September 2007, she signed a new $100 million record contract with Arista Records.
