Lyrics

"I Will Always Love You"

If I should stay
I would only be in your way
So I'll go but I know
I'll think of you every step of the way

And I... will always love you, ooh
I will always love you
You
My darling you
Mmm-mm

Bittersweet memories
That is all I'm taking with me
So good-bye
Please don't cry
We both know I'm not what you, you need

And I...
Will always love you
I...
Will always love you
You, ooh

[Instrumental / Sax solo]

I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of
And I wish you joy and happiness
But above all this I wish you love

And I...
Will always love you
I...
Will always love you
[Repeat]

I, I will always love
You....
You
Darling I love you
I'll always
I'll always
Love
You..
Oooh
Ooohhh

A Brief Biography of

Whitney Houston

We explore the short, unhappy life of the music superstar, Whitney Houston.

 

Her early life

Whitney Houston was born in Newark, New Jersey, August 9, 1963, the third and youngest child of John Russell Houston, Jr., an Army serviceman and entertainment executive, and Cissy Houston. Her mother, along with Whitney's cousin Dionne Warwick and the late Dee Dee Warwick, were all gospel singers. Whitney was raised Baptist, but she was also exposed to the Pentacostal church. After the 1967 Newark riots the family moved to East Orange, New Jersey when she was four years old.

At eleven, Whitney began to follow in her mother's footsteps, performing as a soloist in the junior gospel church choir at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where she also learned to play the piano. Her first solo performance of her life was ”Guide Me, O Though Great Jehovah”.

As a teenager Whitney Houston attended a catholic school, Mount Saint Dominic Academy, after being teased, mistreated and picked on in public school, probably because she was so good looking. While in high school she was exposed to the music of Roberta Flack and Gladys Knight, who she later recalled had a profound impact upon her musically.

Early career

Whitney Houston tagged along in her teernage years while her mother Cissy played the nighclub circuit around New York, and occasionally she would get up on stage with her. According to wikipedia..."at age 14, she became a backup singer on the Michael Zager Band's single 'Life's a Party.' Zager subsequently offered to obtain a recording contract for the young singer, but Cissy declined, wanting her daughter to finish school first. Then, in 1978, at age fifteen, Houston sang background vocals on Chaka Khan's hit single 'I'm Every Woman', a song she would later turn into a larger hit for herself on her monster-selling The Bodyguard songtrack album. She also sang backup on albums by Lou Rawls and Jermaine Jackson. In the early 1980's, Houston started working as a fashion model after a photographer saw her at Carnegie Hall singing with her mother. She appeared as a lead vocalist on a Paul Jabara album, entitled Paul Jabara and Friends, released by Columbia Records in 1983. She appeared in Seventeen and became one of the first women of color to grace the cover of that magazine. She was also featured in layouts in the pages of Glamour, Cosmopolitan, Young Miss, and appeared in a Canada Dry soft drink TV commercial. Her striking looks and girl-next-door charm made her one of the most sought after teen models of the time. While modeling, she continued her burgeoning recording career by working with producers Ben Dover, Bill Laswell and Martin Bisi on an album they were spearheading called One Down, which was credited to the group Material. For that project, Houston contributed the ballad 'Memories'. Robert Christgau of The Village Voice called her contribution 'one of the most gorgeous ballads you've ever heard.”

PERFORMING

Whitney Houston's debut album, Whitney Houston, was released in February, 1985, and immediately it wowed critics and fans alike. Rolling Stone called her "one of the most exciting new voices in years," and The New York Times dubbed the album "an impressive, musically conservative showcase for an exceptional vocal talent." By 1986, a year after its release, Whitney Houston topped the Billboard 200 albums chart where it remained for 14 non-consecutive weeks. On Billboard's 1986 year-end charts, Whitney Houston was No. 1 artist of the year and her album was number 1 album of the year, making her the first female vocalist to achieve that distinction. She was nominated for three Grammy Awards as her album became certified platinum. She won her first Grammy in 1986 for Best Pop Vocal Performance, for the song Saving All My Love For You."

Activism

From wikipedia..."Houston was a supporter of Nelson Mandela and the anti-apatheid movement. During her modeling days, the singer refused to work with any agencies who did business with the then-apartheid South Africa...Houston joined other musicians to perform a set at Wembley Stadium...to celebrate a then-imprisoned Nelson Mandela's 70th birthday. Over 72,000 people attended...and over a billion...tuned out world-wide as the rock concert raised over $1 million for charities while bringing awareness to apartheid. Houston then flew back to the United States for a concert at Madison Square Garden...in August. The show was a benefit concert that raised a quarter of a million dollars for the United Negro College Fund. In the same year, she recorded a song for NBC's coverage of the 1988 Summer Olympics, "One Moment in Time," which became a Top 5 hit in the U. S., while reaching number one in the U. K. and Germany."

Personal life

In the 1980's, Whitney Houston was linked romantically to both Eddie Murphy and football star Randall Cunningham. Then she met R&B singer Bobby Brown at the 1989 Soul Train Music Awards. They were married after three years of courtship, and on July 18, 1992, Whitney gave birth to their only child, a daughter, Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown. Brown was having ongoing problems with the law during this period, and he did some jail time.

By the late nineties, Whitney, who had had a "good girl" image, changed her behavior radically. She began showing up late for interviews and recording dates, and she would cancel concert appearances and interviews at the last minute. She lost weight and rumors began to circulate that she was doing drugs. On January 11, 2000, when her plane landed in Hawaii, airport security searched hers and Brown's luggage and found marijuana. The charges were later dropped, but word leaked out about the search. She was scheduled to perform at the Academy Award ceremonies but she failed to show up for that as well as for the induction of Clive Davis into the Rock and Roll of Fame.

Over subsequent years Houston's voice left her, turning gravelly, probably due to overconsumption of drugs. The cause of her death on Friday, February 10th, where she was found dead, underwater in the bathtub in her suite at the posh Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, California, at age 48, will not be known until the results of her autopsy are made public, but most people assum
