Whitney Houston was born to John Russell Houston Jr. and Emily ""Cissy"" Drinkard in Newark, New Jersey on August 9, 1963. Her mother was a gospel singer, and also the cousin of Dionne Warwick and goddaughter of Aretha Franklin. As an adolescent, Houston would perform in the junior gospel choir at her church and would occasionally perform on stage with her mom. In 1985, at 22, she released her first debut album, Whitney Houston. A year later, she won her first Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

In 1989, she launched The Whitney Houston Foundation For Children, a nonprofit for such problems as homelessness, children with cancer, and AIDS. In 1992, she married R&B singer Bobby Brown whom she'd met in 1989 and had a daughter in 1993. Every album she released either resulted in a top Billboard 100 hit, a Grammy, or critical acclaim. She also is known for films such as The Bodyguard (1992), Waiting to Exhale (1995), and The Preacher's Wife (1996)."
