Whitney Houston |
When Whitney Houston arrived on the scene as a fresh-faced ing(nue
in 1985, few could have predicted the level of superstardom
she'd achieve or how fast she'd do it. Certainly the voice was
there--supple, soulful, and when called upon, explosive. But
the material on her debut album--and those that followed it,
for that matter--was bland pop pap that mostly wasted her gift.
Still there were numerous hits on Whitney Houston, including
a trio of ballads: "You Give Good Love," "Saving All My Love
for You," and the extraordinarily vapid "Greatest Love of All."
The up-tempo "How Will I Know" was a mere trifle, perhaps, but
it's one of her most winning performances. And that video. That
dress. 'Nuff said.
