Episode 37: Whitney Houston

Her songs are ones you have to sing along to from the beginning to the end. With a voice that had no equal, Whitney Houston climbed the multi-octave range into our hearts.  Just as Micheal Jackson broke across the mainstream barrier with his pop appeal, Whitney was one of the first African American female artists to be heavily featured on MTV and most radio stations; opening doors for other divas to follow in her footsteps. Her mega-success in the mid-1980s and early 1990s has made Whitney one of the world's best-selling female artists of all time; you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't know at least one of her songs. 

Whitney Houston's journey has been one of amazing highs and lows, and as she now turns 47 years old, one can only imagine how she reflects on the time that has passed; the lessons learned and stripes earned.  In honour of the woman who gave us the 'greatest love of all' and made us 'exhale', I've put together two 'Whitney Mixes', the first one containing her upbeat and danceable tracks, the other featuring some of her best known ballads.  We'll always love you Whitney, happy birthday!

Love,
