Whitney Elizabeth Houston (born on August 9, 1963), is a Grammy Award winning American R&B/Pop Diva, actress, film producer, and former fashion model. Houston is one of the most successful and influential singers of all time. Her body of work includes ballads, dance-pop, urban contemporary soul, and gospel. She is well known for her vocal power, control, range and coloratura soprano voice. Whitney is one of the most successful and influential artists of all time. She is also one of the top selling female artist of all time. Houston was one of a handful of black artists to receive heavy rotation on MTV in the 1980s. She became the first artist to have seven consecutive U.S. number-one singles. She holds the record for having seven consecutive Billboard Hot 100 number one hits. Houston has branched out into acting and eventually became a businesswoman, setting up production and recording studios while continuing to record music.

In the 2000s, Houston's personal life became the subject of controversy because of her marriage to R&B recording artist Bobby Brown, allegations of drug abuse (especially after repeated cancellations of public appearances), and erratic behaviour. Her record sales during this period were modest. Houston has since undergone a successful intense rehabilitation process and is currently recording an album that will be released in Autumn of 2007.
