Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born on August 9, 1963 in East-Orange, New Jersey. Her mother used to be a successful gospel singer. As a child, Whitney was a member of a church choir and when she reached her teen years she became a photo model. In 1983, Houston signed a contract with Arista Records. Hold ME was one of her first singles and took little time to enter Top 50. This motivated the young performer to spend the whole of the following year in the studio preparing the debut full-length record. Named after the singer, the album arrived in March 1984 and within less than a year reached the top of the American charts. It could hardly be possible without the support provided by such beautiful singles as You Give Good Love, and Saving All My Love For You.

I remember seeing her for the first time on TV and I said, 'that woman is gonna be HUGE one day'! It seems just like yesterday that I got this on audio tape and listened to it constantly because, at 11 years old, I was amazed at the clarity and range of Whitney's voice. After having bought Houston's sophomore album again (this time around on CD), I'm still amazed at her voice and the fact that, unlike the current sorry crop of so-called.

Whitney Houston won her first Grammy in 1987 with the composition Saving All My Love For You. The same year she released the single I Wanna Dance With Somebody (Who Loves Me) to conquer the charts in the US as well as in the UK. These songs helped the singer set a new record as her second long player, Whitney (1987), became the first record by a female performer to debut from the first position in the US charts. The only single from this album that failed to reach the top was Love Will Save The Day, which, however, did not spoil the general impression from Houston’s unsurpassed breakthrough. The subsequent studio work, I’m Your Baby Tonight, released in 1990 had moderate results in comparison with the predecessors, yet its third position in the charts would be a dream to an overwhelming majority of other performers.

1990 also appeared the year of Whitney Houston’s debut in cinematography as she played a big part in The Bodyguard. She recorded four songs as soundtrack to this motion picture, including the legendary I Will Always Love You that remained a leader in the States for as long as fourteen weeks. Whitney spent the largest part of the nineties acting in films none of which reached the peak once possessed by The Bodyguard. In 1998, she delivered another studio album, My Love Is Your Love, featuring her collaborations with several celebrities. Despite the warm welcome of the single When You Believe, the whole record’s sales were far from the expectations.

In 2002, the singer took another effort to win back the title of the world’s best pop-performer with a very impressive album called Just Whitney. It received the platinum certificate in a number of European countries. In a year, Houston prepared a collection of remakes united under the title One Wish: The Holiday Album. Still, it was clear that Whitney was unable to gain the shape she was in during the eighties. The mass media speculated much on the reasons of Whitney’s loss of her well-known skills. The most widespread suggestion was her marriage with Bobbi Brown. She became his wife in 1992 refusing to listen to her family and friends who tried to keep her away from a life with an alcoholic and abuser. Whitney’s tolerance lasted for fifteen years until they divorced in 2007. Seven years after the release of her previous album, the singer issued her new studio work in the autumn of 2009. The record is called I Look To You. In 2010 the record Whitney Houston (The Deluxe Anniversary Edition), devoted to the anniversary of the singer’s debut album release was issued. That record includes not only the songs from her album of 1985, but also many bonus tracks and remixes.

I Look to You

Whitney Houston's sixth record I Look To You is a kind of returning to roots and exceeds the best expectations pretending to be one of the year's best pop releases. It offers both danceable compositions with disco elements and soulful ballads

Lives

We music fans are a highly opinionated bunch. There’s not much we agree on.

But if you’re a fan of this site, I bet we can come to this consensus: Whitney Houston is one of the greatest vocalists of all time.

It’s not up for debate.

From the early ’80s to her untimely death in 2012, Nippy was the measuring stick for vocal ability – and trust me, she set the bar so high that very few could see it, let alone reach it.

Let’s honor her incomparable legacy by revisiting her solo LPs, ranking them from bottom to top. This list will exclude her soundtrack efforts (sorry y’all, no Bodyguard or Preacher’s Wife) and we’ll also skip her holiday albums and compilations.

She was the voice of a generation. Witness her in her glory.

6. I Look to You (2009)

Soul In Stereo rating: 3 stars out of 5 (read our review here)

Edd said: Sigh. I Look to You was Whitney’s final album and the seams were definitely starting to show. While this did SOUND like a Whitney album – she avoided the temptation to betray her core sound for current trends – there’s a distinct weariness in her vocals. Between that, and the lack of memorable songs, this is the one blemish on Whitney’s resume.

Forgotten Favorites: “Million Dollar Bill,” “Like I Never Left,” “Nothin But Love”

5. Just Whitney (2002)

Soul In Stereo rating: 4 stars out of 5

Edd said: To compile these rankings, I went back and relistened to each of Whitney’s albums. It’s only fair. And I’m so glad that I did because it forced me to revisit Just Whitney, an album that I unfairly dismissed back in 2002. And sure, while it’s nowhere near as good as her more well-known releases, it’s a pretty great piece of business. Time had yet to take their toll on Whitney’s vocals and though there’s a lack of bonafide hits to be found, nearly every song is expertly produced and performed. If you missed this one in ’02, give it another shot today.

Forgotten Favorites: “One of Those Days,” “My Love,” “Unashamed”

4. Whitney (1987)

Soul In Stereo rating: 4 stars out of 5

Edd said: Fighting off the dreaded Sophomore Jinx is often the first big test of an artist’s young career. Whitney passed that test. Loaded with pop hits aplenty, Whitney catapulted her to international stardom. While some of the album cuts occasionally miss the mark, there are certainly way more hits here than misses. This is the album that cemented Whitney’s fame.

Forgotten Favorites: “Where You Are,” “You’re Still My Man,” “Just the Lonely Talking Again”

3. I’m Your Baby Tonight (1990)

Soul In Stereo rating: 4 stars out of 5

Edd said: It’s funny to hear arguments in 2017 about which artist are and are not TRUE R&B singers. You young’ns might not believe this but back in the late 80s, even the mighty Whitney Houston was accused of being “too pop.” On her third LP, though, Whitney gained more creative control, balancing out her earlier glossy pop sound with more traditional R&B and funk elements. The result was one of the most diverse albums of her career.

Forgotten Favorites: “Anymore,” “I Belong to You,” “We Didn’t Know”

2. My Love Is Your Love (1998)

Soul In Stereo rating: 4.5 stars out of 5

Edd said: Whitney spent most of the mid-90s collaborating on a trio of memorable soundtracks (The Bodyguard, Waiting to Exhale and The Preacher’s Wife, if you’re keeping score) but her return to the world of solo LPs in 1998 proved to be one of her best outings EVER. As great as her previous albums were, there was often an air of inconsistency about them. Not here. My Love Is Your Love is as air-tight as it gets, blending radio-friendly fare with daring production and hearty ballads. If there was any concern that personal problems would take a toll on her career, this album crushed those doubts.

Forgotten Favorites: “I Learned from the Best,” “If I Told You That,” “I Bow Out”
