Whitney Elizabeth Houston, born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1963 and passed away in Los Angeles in 2012, was a multifaceted artist known for her exceptional voice, nicknamed “The Voice”. Her career spanned genres such as R&B, soul, pop, blues, and gospel, in addition to venturing into acting and production. From a young age, her musical training was marked by the influence of figures like her mother, Cissy Houston, and her cousins Dionne Warwick and Dee Dee Warwick, as well as her godmother Aretha Franklin. Her talent was discovered by Clive Davis, president of Arista Records, while she was performing in New York City nightclubs. Her debut album, Whitney Houston, released in 1985, sold 30 million copies, becoming the best-selling album by a female artist in history. The influence of her mother, Cissy Houston, on her musical development is a notable point of connection, especially visible in collaborations like that on the track I Know Him So Well.
