Whitney Houston (1963–2012) was a Grammy Award-winning singer and actress who was one of the best-selling musical performers of the 1980s and ’90s. Her debut album, Whitney Houston (1985), yielded three number-one singles in the United States: “Greatest Love of All,” which became her signature song; “Saving All My Love for You”; and “How Will I Know.” Known as “the Voice,” Houston was widely admired for her remarkable vocal ability and exceptional emotive power, which became the standard of excellence by which all other female pop singers were judged in her lifetime. Her notable films include The Bodyguard (1992) and Waiting to Exhale (1995).
