Whitney Houston the album came out in 1985 and was produced by Artista Records, Inc.

Now, it may be a little bit uncool to admit this but I love Whitney Houston. Ever since, I wanna Dance with Somebody(which is not on this album) I have loved her. I was lucky enough to find a husband who loved her just as much as me, a little confession he came to on our first date so I definitely knew I was onto a winner. As a big fan he has all her albums and so I have listened to them all now countless times.

Whitney Houston was born on August 9th, 1963 and is an extremely successful recording artist and actress. She comes from a very successful family and upbringing, her aunt is Dionne Warwick and her godmother is Aretha Franklin. Music was in the blood and she starting singing gospel music in her local church at aged 11. She is famed for her strong, powerful voice and can hit notes that most people don't even know exist! That's what I love about her, her wonderful songs and beautiful voice. According to an article I read, Whitney is one of the worlds best selling music artists, having sold over 140 million albums worldwide and is ranked as the fourth best-selling female artist in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America with 54 million certified albums.

It has been unfortunate to watch her battle with drugs over the years and I partly think some of this is because of Bobby Brown but who knows. All we can hope is that she realises she has an amazing god given talent and to not throw that gift away forever. Apparently she does have an upcoming album so that is worth waiting for I hope.

This album, Whitney Houston was her debut album and like I've said above, was released in 1985. It became the best selling debut album by a female artist. Some say it's her best album as it has sold over 25 million copies worldwide. It has some absolute classic songs on it too which I think add to it's appeal. The cover features a beautiful photograph of her on the front in a lovely cream, draped on shoulder dress and her hair tied back. She looks very young which of course she was.

The tracks are as follows:

1. You Give Good Love
2. Thinking About You
3. Someone for Me
4. Saving All My Love For You
5. Nobody Loves Me Like You Do (Duet with Jermaine Jackson)
6. How Will I Know
7. All At Once
8. Take Good Care of My Heart ( Duet with Jermaine Jackson)
9. Greatest Love of All
10. Hold Me (Duet with Teddy Pendergrass)
