Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9,1963—February 11,2012) was an American singer,actress,producer and a former model.Often referred to as the “Queen of Pop” or simply “the Voice”,Houston was the most awarded female act of all time,according to Guinness World Records,and her list of awards included 2 Emmy Awards,6 Grammy Awards,30 Billboard Music Awards,22 American Music Awards,among a total of 415 career awards as of 2010.Houston was also one of the world’s best-selling music artists,having sold over 170 million albums and singles worldwide.

Born in what was then a middle-income neighborhood in New Jersey,Houston began singing in a junior gospel choir at age 11.After she began performing alongside her mother in night-clubs in New York City,she was discovered by Arista Records’ head Clive Davis,who had an impact on her as a singer and performer.

Houston was the only artist to chart seven consecutive (连续的)No.1 Billboard Hot 100 hits.She was the second artist behind Elton John and the only female artist to have two number-one Billboard 200 Album awards on the Billboard magazine year-end charts.How Will I Know enthralled her fans and audience and even several African-American female artists to copy her and follow in her footsteps.

Houston’ s first acting role was as the star of the feature film The Bodyguard(1992).The film’ s original soundtrack won the 1994 Grammy Award for Album of the Year.Its lead single I Will Always Love You became the best-selling single by a female artist in music history.Three years after the release of her fourth studio album My Love Is Your Love (1998),she renewed her recording contract with Arista Records.She released her fifth studio album Just Whitney in 2002,and the Christmas-themed One Wish:The Holiday Album in 2003.In 2009,Houston released her seventh and final studio album I Look to You.
