Her godmother was Darlene Love [11] and her honorary aunt was Aretha Franklin , [12] [13] whom she met at age eight or nine when her mother took her to a recording studio.

With them, Houston furthered her recording career by working with producers Michael Beinhorn, Bill Laswell and Martin Bisi on an album they were spearheading called One Down , which was credited to the group Material.

For that project, she contributed the ballad " Memories ", a cover of a song by Hugh Hopper of Soft Machine. Robert Christgau of The Village Voice called her contribution "one of the most gorgeous ballads you've ever heard". He convinced Arista's head Clive Davis to make time to see her perform. Davis was impressed and immediately offered a worldwide record deal, which Houston eventually signed after being alternatively sought after by another label.

Houston did not begin work on an album immediately. Some producers passed on the project because of prior commitments. In the UK, the dance-funk song "Someone for Me", which failed to chart, was the first single while " All at Once " was in such European countries as the Netherlands and Belgium, where the song reached the top five on the singles charts, respectively.

Houston ended as the top artist of the year while her debut album topped the Billboard Year-End chart, making her the first woman to earn that distinction. The tour lasted into December, ending in Hawaii. Houston's second album, Whitney , was released in June Many critics complained that the material was too similar to her previous album.

The album's first single, " I Wanna Dance with Somebody Who Loves Me ", was also a massive hit worldwide, peaking at number one on the Billboard Hot and topping the singles chart in 17 countries, including Australia, Germany and the UK.

She sang live, but the microphone was turned off. It was a technical decision, partially based on the noise factor. This is standard procedure at these events. It peaked at No. The free concert took place at Naval Station Norfolk in Norfolk , Virginia in front of 3, servicemen and women.

HBO descrambled the concert so that it was free for everyone to watch. Throughout the s, Houston was romantically linked to musician Jermaine Jackson , [] American football star Randall Cunningham and actor Eddie Murphy.

After a three-year courtship, the two were married on July 18, Houston revealed in a interview with Barbara Walters that she had a miscarriage during the filming of The Bodyguard. With the massive commercial success of her music, film offers poured in, including offers to work with Robert De Niro , Quincy Jones and Spike Lee , but Houston never felt the time was right. Houston played a star who is stalked by a crazed fan and hires a bodyguard played by Kevin Costner to protect her. Houston's mainstream appeal allowed audiences to look past the interracial nature of her character's relationship with Costner's character.

You can't hide that fact. Houston received a Razzie Award nomination for Worst Actress. The Washington Post remarked that Houston was "doing nothing more than playing [herself]", but added that she came out "largely unscathed if that is possible in so cockamamie an undertaking".

The New York Times said: "Ms. Houston has shed the defensive hauteur that made her portrayal of a pop star in 'The Bodyguard' seem so distant.

The film's accompanying soundtrack, Waiting to Exhale: Original Soundtrack Album , was written and produced by Babyface. Though he originally wanted Houston to record the entire album, she declined. Instead, she "wanted it to be an album of women with vocal distinction" and thus gathered several African-American female artists for the soundtrack, to go along with the film's message about strong women.

It also would spend a record eleven weeks at the No. She plays the gospel-singing wife of a pastor Courtney B. The San Francisco Chronicle said Houston "is rather angelic herself, displaying a divine talent for being virtuous and flirtatious at the same time" and she "exudes gentle yet spirited warmth, especially when praising the Lord in her gorgeous singing voice".

Houston recorded and co-produced, with Mervyn Warren , the film's accompanying gospel soundtrack. Houston also duetted with gospel legend Shirley Caesar. The album sold six million copies worldwide and scored hit singles with " I Believe in You and Me " and " Step by Step ", becoming the largest selling gospel album of all time.
