The story behind
The song Someone for Me, with its duration of 5 minutes and 1 second, is from the self-titled debut album by Whitney Houston. This album, released on February 14, 1985, had a slow start but experienced exponential growth during 1986. This takeoff was largely due to the success of three singles that reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100: Saving All My Love for You, How Will I Know, and Greatest Love of All. The result was an album that became the most successful of Whitney Houston's career, with sales exceeding 30 million copies worldwide.
The production of this work was handled by Jermaine Jackson, while the mixing was done by Bill Bottrell and Michael O’Reilly. Whitney Elizabeth Houston, born in Newark in 1963, was a multifaceted figure who transcended music. Known for her astonishing vocal ability, which earned her the nickname "The Voice," she also ventured into acting, songwriting, production, business, and modeling. Her musical training began in childhood, influenced by figures such as her mother, Cissy Houston, and her cousins Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Warwick, as well as her godmother Aretha Franklin. It was Clive Davis, president of Arista Records, who discovered her talent while she was performing in New York City nightclubs. Throughout her career, Whitney Houston accumulated an impressive number of accolades, including two Emmy Awards and six Grammy Awards, establishing herself as one of the best-selling recording artists in history.
