HomeWhitney Houston

When I think of home
I think of a place where there's
Love overflowing;
I wish I was home

I wish I was back there
With the things I've been knowing
Wind that makes the tall trees bend into leaning
Suddenly the snowflakes that fall

Have a meaning
Sprinling the scene, makes it all clean
Maybe there; s a chance
For me to go back

Now that I have some direction;
It sure would be nice to be back home
Where there's love and affection
And just maybe I can convince time

To slow up
Giving me enough time in my life to grow up;
Time, be my friend, let me start again...
Suddenly my world is gone

And changed its face
But I still know where I'm going;
I have had my mind spun around
In space

And yet I've watched it growing
Oh, if you're listening God
Please don't make it hard
To know if we should believe

The things we see
Tell us, should we run away
Should we try and stay
Or would it be better

Just to let things be?
Living here in this brand-new world
Might be a fantasy;
But it taught me to love

So it's real, real, real to me...
And I've learned that we must look
Inside our hearts to find...

A world full of love
Like yours, like mine
Like Home

Whitney Houston

Known across the pop culture spectrum as the “Queen of Pop” and “The Voice” for her mezzo-soprano octave, Whitney Elizabeth Houston left an indelible impression upon pop culture. She is one of the most successful artists of all time, with more than 200 million albums sold worldwide.

Born August 9, 1963, Houston grew up singing as part of the gospel choir at her local church. She was surrounded by powerful voices in her own family (mother Cissy Houston, cousin Dionne Warwick, godmother Darlene Love, honorary aunt Aretha Franklin). After working as a model and commercial actress in the early 1980s, Whitney was discovered during a New York City nightclub performance, which led to her signing a contract with Clive Davis at Arista Records. Whitney’s first song was a duet in 1984 with Teddy Pendergrass on “Hold Me.”

She released her self-titled début album the following year, which catapulted her into superstardom as the album topped the Billboard 200 for 14 non-consecutive weeks before becoming the top-selling album of 1986, eventually achieving diamond status in the US and selling over 22 million copies worldwide. The singles “Saving All My Love For You,” “How Will I Know,” and “Greatest Love of All” topped the Billboard Hot 100 and achieved platinum status. The music video for “How Will I Know” received heavy rotation on MTV, which was uncommon for Black women at the time. She took home the Best Female Pop Vocal Performance Grammy Award for “Saving” in 1986; her performance at the Grammys of “Saving” later won her an Emmy award. She also won seven American Music Awards between 1986 and 1987.
