“When you believe”: Celebrating Whitney Houston with her most inspiring quotes
The most awarded female act of all time, Whitney Houston was a force to be reckoned with: a powerful figure in music, with a voice like none other and an otherworldly presence.
Seemingly destined to be a star, as the daughter of gospel star Cissy Houston, cousin of singing star Dionne Warwick and goddaughter of soul legend Aretha Franklin, she started to sing in a church choir and by 15 was performing backing vocals for Chaka Khan’s ‘I’m Ever Woman’.
Working her way to top, Whitney was as motivated and talented as they come, scoring three number 1 singles with her debut album at just 22 years old. Whitney Houston became an icon, and a musical legend. Celebrating her life on what would be her 55th birthday, we have picked the most momentous and empowered quotes: with words as notable as her sound, we remember the good years and the joyful moments.
