Whitney Elizabeth Houston(August 9, 1963 –
February 11, 2012) was an American singer and actress. Nicknamed "The
Voice", she is one of the
bestselling music artists of all time, with
over 200 million records sold worldwide. In 2023, Rolling Stone ranked her second on their list of the greatest singers of all time.
Houston influenced many singers in popular music,
and was known for her powerful, soulful vocals and vocal improvisation skills. She
is the only artist to have had seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, from
"Saving All My Love for You"
in 1985 to "Where Do
Broken Hearts Go" in 1988. Houston also
enhanced her popularity upon entering the
movie industry. Throughout her career and
posthumously, she has received numerous accolades,
including two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 16 Billboard Music
Awards, and 28 Guinness
World Records. Houston has also been inducted
into the Grammy,
Rhythm and
Blues Music, and Rock and Roll halls of fame.
Houston began singing in church as a child
and became a background vocalist while in high school. She was one of the first
black women to appear on the cover of Seventeen after becoming a teen model in 1981. With the guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis,
Houston signed to the label at age 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney
Houston(1985) and Whitney(1987),
both peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and are among the best-selling
albums of all time. Houston's third studio album, I'm Your Baby
Tonight(1990), yielded two Billboard Hot 100
number-one singles: "I'm Your Baby
Tonight" and "All the Man
That I Need".
Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody is
a 2022 American biographical musical drama film directed by Kasi Lemmons,
from a screenplay by Anthony McCarten, based
on the life and career of American singer and actress Whitney Houston. The
film stars Naomi Ackie as Houston with
Stanley Tucci, Ashton Sanders, Tamara Tunie, Nafessa Williams, and Clarke Peters in supporting roles.
An authorized biopic on Houston's life was
announced in early 2020, with Ackie cast in the lead role that December, and
the rest of the cast signing on later the next year. Produced on a $45 million
budget, filming took place in Massachusetts and New Jersey from August to
December 2021.
Each day I live
I want to be
A day to give
The best of me
I'm only one
But not alone
My finest day
Is yet unknown
I broke my heart
Fought every gain
To taste the sweet
I face the pain
I rise and fall
Yet through it all
This much remains
I want one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
I've lived to be
The very best
I want it all
No time for less
I've laid the plans
Now lay the chance
Here in my hands
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will feel
I will feel eternity
You're a winner for a lifetime
If you seize that one moment in time
Make it shine
Give me one moment in time
When I'm more than I thought I could be
When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away
And the answers are all up to me
Give me one moment in time
When I'm racing with destiny
Then in that one moment of time
I will be
I will be
I will be free
I will be
I will be free.
