Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born into a musical family on 9 August 1963, in Newark, New Jersey, the daughter of gospel star Cissy Houston (née Emily Lee Drinkard) and John Russell Houston, Jr., and cousin of singing star Dionne Warwick.
She began singing in the choir at her church, The New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, as a young child and by the age of 15 was singing backing vocals professionally with her mother on Chaka Khan's 1978 hit, 'I'm Every Woman'. She went on to provide backing vocals for Lou Rawls, Jermaine Jackson and her own mother and worked briefly as a model, appearing on the cover of 'Seventeen' magazine in 1981.
She began working as a featured vocalist for the New York-based funk band Material and it was the quality of her vocal work with them that attracted the attention of the major record labels, including Arista with whom she signed in 1983 and where she stayed for the rest of her career.
Her debut album, 'Whitney Houston', was released in 1985 and became the biggest-selling album by a debut artist. Several hit singles, including 'Saving All My Love For You', 'How Will I Know', 'You Give Good Love', and 'The Greatest Love of All', were released from the album, setting her up for a Beatles-beating seven consecutive US number ones. The album itself sold 3 million copies in its first year in the US and went on to sell 25 million worldwide, winning her the first of her six Grammies.
The 1987 follow-up album, 'Whitney', which included the hits 'Where Do Broken Hearts Go' and 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody', built on her success but it was the 1992 film The Bodyguard (1992) that sealed her place as one of the best-selling artists of all time. While the movie itself and her performance in it were not highly praised, the soundtrack album and her cover of the Dolly Parton song 'I Will Always Love You' topped the singles and albums charts for months and sold 44 million copies around the world.
That same year she married ex-New Edition singer Bobby Brown with whom she had her only child, their daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown in March 1993. It was about this time that her much documented drug use began and by 1996 she was a daily user.
Her 1998 album, 'My Love Is Your Love' was well reviewed but the drug abuse began to affect her reputation and press reports at the time said that she was becoming difficult to work with, if she turned up at all. She was dropped from a performance at The 72nd Annual Academy Awards (2000) because she was "out of it" at rehearsals. Her weight fluctuated wildly - she was so thin at a 'Michael Jackson' tribute in 2001 that rumors circulated the next day that she had died - and her voice began to fail her. She was twice admitted to rehab and declared herself drug-free in 2010 but returned to rehab in May 2011.
Her 2009 comeback album 'I Look To You' was positively received and sold well, but promotional performances were still marred by her weakened voice. Her final acting performance was in Sparkle (2012) (a remake of the 1976 movie, Sparkle (1976)), released after her death.
Houston reportedly appeared "disheveled" and "erratic" in the days before her death. On February 9, 2012, Houston visited singers Brandy and Monica, together with Clive Davis, at their rehearsals for Davis's pre-Grammy Awards party at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. That same day, she made her last public performance when she joined Kelly Price on stage in Hollywood, California, and sang "Jesus Loves Me".
Two days later, on February 11, Houston was found unconscious in Suite 434 at the Beverly Hilton, submerged in the bathtub. Beverly Hills paramedics arrived about 3:30 pm, found Houston unresponsive, and performed CPR. Houston was pronounced dead at 3:55 pm PST. The cause of death was not immediately known; local police said there were "no obvious signs of criminal intent".
Houston was buried on February 19, 2012, in Fairview Cemetery, in Westfield, New Jersey, next to her father, John Russell Houston, who had died in 2003.
On March 22, 2012, the Los Angeles County Coroner's Office reported that Houston's death was caused by drowning and the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use". The office said the amount of cocaine found in Houston's body indicated that she used the substance shortly before her death. Toxicology results revealed additional drugs in her system: diphenhydramine (Benadryl), alprazolam (Xanax), cannabis, and cyclobenzaprine (Flexeril). The manner of death was listed as an "accident". - Zábava
Some celebrity deaths just hit harder. This was one of them. Rip Whitney ❤️ Thank you Scott 👏🏻👍🏻
Right?? I agree Lisa . This was a tough one. And thank you for always being so generous to me and my channel. ❤️❤️
@@SCOTTONTAPE Always. You are very welcome. It’s a pleasure to support the channel 😘
Same thing with Anna Mae Bullock. Its the soundtrack of multiple generation childhoods
So true cause she had true talent not like now I grew up with Whitney Houston it's sad how she ended up hope Yr at peace 🙏
I saw Whitney in concert twice, once before Thee Body Guard, and once after The Body Guard. Both concerts were incredible!!! The second time, she was fresh off making the movie. 😊😊😊
She looked and sounded perfect, of course. She must have done 6 costume changes and looked more beautiful with each change! You couldn't help but fall in love all over again with her voice when she sang "I Will Always Love You". She was simply stunning that night and pitch perfect. It's sad she's gone.....a legend in time....perfection to listen too.....and sadly now an angel we will all miss! ❤❤❤❤
It’s crazy that they were hugely seeked out in life and now they are just other tombstones among a lot of other people. This shows that no matter what you do in life we all pass away and are just a memory . I thought she would have a huge finale resting spot.
This is so true. I was thinking the same thing. 😢
The great equalizer the finish line blah blah blah that's how it is that's why during our lives we must have self-acceptance, confidence in others and contribute to others whenever we can.
Exactly my thoughts every time i see such videos...
She and her daughter were industry sacrifices
@@knope2023 Whitney by choice and her daughter was just born into it
The fact that Her & her daughter both died the exact same way by drowning in a bathtub is chilling still to me .
Und reichlich komisch. Das kann kein Zufall sein. Bin mir irgendwie auch nicht sicher das so passiert ist. Hab schon immer das Gefühl es wurde nachgeholfen
She was definitely “The Voice”.
May she,her daughter,
Bobbi Kristina,and her father John
continue to rest in eternal peace.
Hey Jaylen, from one Turner to another, I thought your comment was perfect!
@@tracyturner-browne4012😊Xu
🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I've had the honor to see Whitney Houston in concert twice, both times at the CNE grandstand. The first time I had 16th row floors and I swear that you could hear her so clearly like she was right beside you, I was in complete awe and honestly when I think back on it I still am. Her voice was perfection, there will never be another Whitney Houston.
Awww THAT VOICE OF HERS WAS JUST THAT AMAZING AND BEAUTIFUL😍😍😍💅😍💅💅
I'm in her very first video, 'You Give Good Love'. It was shot in a restaurant on 13st in Manhattan the director/camera person Lisa Rinzler was a friend of mine and talked me into it. Whitney wasn't famous yet, in fact the only reason I showed up was because they were saying 'Cissy Houston's daughter'. I definitely knew who her mother was. In addition to everything else they were gonna pay me. The call was at 6am on a Sunday morning and we shot until well after midnight. During the long day everyone made friends. Robyn Crawford was there. No one was famous...
Wow that’s crazy !!
I was there as part of the press. We had arrived early around the 2pm hour in preparation for the Clive Davis Pre-Grammy Gala. A rumor had started to circulate throughout the main lobby that that someone was in distress up on the 4th Floor. They soon said it was Whiney Houston. Then tons of cops showed up and ordered all press (which had now packed the place) not to leave the lobby. The paramedics arrived but they never left with Whitney. Afterwards, the crime scene wagon showed up. After they left around 5:30 pm, the limos started to arrive with the gala guests. They left Whitney in that room overnight and took her body out the next morning. A lot of people, (friends and fans alike), were highly pissed that the party (red carpet arrival and all) went on without a hitch. They were eating, drinking, performing and partying their asses off in the ballroom while Whitney laid lifeless 4 floors above. The conspiracy theorists chalked it up to being a sacrifice ritual. Then Nikki Manaj in her Grammy. performance the next night levitated above the stage to simulate 4 stories above the party below. Just saying! I enjoy your videos, Scott.
She had the voice of an angel. Sadly, drugs took her too soon. She sang the National Anthem and did it perfectly. She has left us with her music. That I am forever grateful for. Thank you Scott. 🕊️❤️🙏
I ALWAYS SAY HER VOICE WASS SO ANGELIC 👼 SO BEAUTIFUL😞🌺🌺🌺💐💐💐
Drugs didn’t take her out. There was a man staying at the hotel who said that he heard loud voices and then a crash. She wasn’t alone in her room. Edited to add that the medical examiner said that she had no water in her lungs to have drowned in the bathtub face down.
@@Harley08 , I'm a medical examiner and she had used cocaine within hours of her death. Her autopsy says she died of cardio myopathy due to drug intoxication. I'm not on here to argue. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I'm just stating what the autopsy showed. Happy weekend 😊
@@leesashriber5097 You haven’t listened to her Aunt’s video. Have a good weekend.
She was murdered not drugs
The grave isn’t what I expected. Blessings on her soul.
No…I was expecting something spectacular. I’m a little sad that she didn’t have a little mausoleum, with beautiful gates, or something.
If you ask me I think her family are bunch grifters and heartless. The fact that they have sold everything about her for money. Meanwhile they couldn't even do Whitney justice by hiving her a headstone that she deserved. She was just their ATM machine and nothing else. Ughnljlj
@@Leira6267 Maybe. I can't see in peoples Hearts but Her headstone is not what I accpected at all.
She deserves so much more then this! the picture on the grave don't even look like her.
I once had the joy to work with her on a tour across europe, and what can I say? She was an absolute treasure, always looking out for the people who surround her. Even as one of the "smallest lights" of the whole crew, I had the feeling that she cared for me and for everyone.
I always look back to those times and I'll always have a smile on my face! ❤
Thanks for paying your respect to her!
Wow thanks for that story ur very lucky u knew her it's nice to know she was nice to people to and didn't become a diva like alot do
She needed to be dragged into treatment. And not a resort. It baffles me to this day those record execs didn't demand her compliance. No friends, no family, you're going.
@@supercoolyguy The record exec's knew she was worth more dead than alive. They didn't really care about Whitney, the person, only Whitney Houston, the brand.
I've never heard a negative story about Whitney from people who met her.
The amount of hatred she received after her death is mind boggling. Obviously I didn't know Whitney personally but her death is an absolute tragedy.
The hatred was due to her tired ass drug habits. It don’t matter how big and talented she was in life, her demise was due to continual coke snorting and ravage drug binges, fans and all else got bored of that Groundhog day shit and lost all respect they once had for her.
How is it a tragedy if she would have stayed away from drugs she would be here alive today , haven’t you noticed all the celebrities die in there fourties and fifties because off drugs yet the authorities always say it was accidental
Because (off) drugs. I don’t get it?
@@pb3382she meant because of drugs
If you have never been addicted to drugs or alcohol you have no way of knowing what it's like to try to stop so don't assume anything until you have walked in an addicts shoes!
I was in denial about her death until I saw the funeral. Not so fun fact: Whitney’s body was not in the coroner vehicle, Tyler Perry got a helicopter to fly her body out because of the chaos. RIP my Nippy💜
I remember when she passed in February of 2012. 2012 was a very rough year for my family. My dad had just been diagnosed with aml leukemia on 1/3/12, and he lost his brave battle on 3/19/12.
I have always been a huge fan of Whitney Houston’s. There will never be another voice like hers!
I've always considered Whitney Houston and Celine Dion as the best singers of all time. I grew up constantly watching the Cinderella movie with Brandi and Whitney Houston, and Whitney captivated me every time with her voice. She and her daughter both should still be here. Thank you for doing this.
Whitney to me is the best female singer of all time, she could belt that voice out to where the audience felt it, she was one of a kind
@@vicvega3614 yes
Celina Dion?? Don’t think so
@@MrMystri Lol It's okay. My opinion is mine and isn't requiring you to claim it.
I really think the world stopped for just a moment when she passed. This was really such a heartbreaking lose. I grew up to her music. She was so beautiful and that Voice!! No words can describe her beautiful voice. RIP Whitney 🕊🕊🕊🕊👑👑👑⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥🔥🔥🔥🎶🎵🎶🎵🕯🕯🕯🕯
I’ll never forget the day this happened. I think many of us know exactly where we were. Such a sad story. The demons that many carry are relentless. Thank you Scott once again for a wonderful video and done so respectfully. You are the best !
Much love and let’s all pray Whitney and her daughter are in paradise.
February 11th, my bday. I sat in the hotel we were at for my bday and cried. Strange how a stranger can make a huge impact on your life
💔This had taught me one thing. That no matter the talent, no matter the person, that substance abuse and mental illness effects us all. ALL OF US😢
You’re right, was not expecting such a modest burial site from such a great and celebrated entertainer, and that’s ok. R.I.P. Whitney.
Maybe someone didn’t want to spend the money. Because this is Whitney Houston…. And I wish she had a little gated mausoleum, with beautiful marble and pillars, and carved arches!
@@pommiebears Whitney died with over 20million in her bank account. The least her family could have done is give her a decent headstone. Since they spent decades depending on her financially. They fact that they are living on her money, it pisses me off.
Fairview is a beautiful, peaceful cemetery with many arboretums and native landscaping. Agree she should have more of a shrine as The Voice who gave us so many gifts by sharing her incredible talent with us. The community deeply respects her privacy and the family's as Whitney and Bobbi Kristina deserve ever lasting peace.
I saw Whitney Houston at the CajunDome in Lafayette,LA in 1994. Awesome concert! She had such an amazing voice and a great performer. I still enjoy watching The Bodyguard. ❤️
I’ve always been surprised by how understated her grave is… I feel like she deserves something a little grander to celebrate how big of a star and personality she was.
Yes I thought the same 😢
In the end though, just like Frank Sinatra and others, I think Whitney was a humble Christian and knew we are all basically on the same destination-
@@greeneyedsoutherngirl6468or…someone didn’t want to spend the money. I mean, it’s Whitney Houston! She should have a little mausoleum with pretty gates, or something.
She’s deceased wtf ok she was a star when she was living but once u pass away all that isnt much of a big deal anymore her family went the traditional way and there is nothing wrong wit that a big shrine isnt always necessary
I remember the day she passed, I was in my very first apartment with a broom in my hand and my husband told me she had died. We turned on the TV. Had to sit down, felt like the air was knocked out of me when I heard it. She was a big deal for so many of us growing up! RIP Nippy and Bobbi Kris.
She was , and still is , the voice . Such a talent that was lost way to soon . RIP ladies . 😢 Thank you Scott . Well done .
The voice of an angel left us the day she died. I absolutely loved her just like the rest of the world. She was one of a kind and will forever go unmatched. So many might have saved her if they only knew. A beautiful person with another sad and tragic end. She will live forever here though through the stunning voice she left behind. What a wonderful tribute to a lady who was so well deserving of it. RIP forever more ❤💐
She was an exceptional talent: voice, grace, beauty....It was a tragic loss, indeed! You always wonder what could have been, but, heaven needed her more!
Thank you for always sharing these videos. Your presentation, consideration, and thoughtfulness DO NOT go unnoticed!
My grandmother died on the same day as Whitney. Whitney was the voice of my childhood. Thank you Scott
My favorite singer of all time. I remember I was standing at a subway station in NYC when I heard the news. Time stood still for me. She passed the day after my birthday. She was truly unparalleled, iconic, legendary and one of one. May she and her daughter be at peace. Thanks for this tribute video Scott.❤
I cried that entire week.. My all time favorite female singer.
She was the cutest thing ever and so much class. It was sad to watch her downward spiral once she got into drugs. I love that you chose to, as we all should, remember her how she chose to live and not how the drugs later held her hostage and kept her from behaving like her true self.
Will await your cover of I will always love you 😊
I’m singing it right now! 😊😊❤️❤️
Rip Whitney Houston ,she had a beautiful voice and her daughter Bobbi Kristina in 2015 .she was definitely iconic . thank you Scott for sharing this video 📸 with all us . much appreciated
Before the internet & CZcams, as a teenager who adored Whitney, when her live version of Didn’t We Almost Have It All came on VH1, I recorded it on a VCR tape & memorized that rendition. Now I can view, sing and enjoy it anytime I like thanks to CZcams. It was soul crushing when she passed. The greatest voice of all time! Soar with the angels Nippy. 🤍🕊 Tyler Henry did a reading for Bobby Brown & Whitney came through & touched on her COD. I watched a Documentary where it was her Aunt, I believe with her that night and had only left for 30 minutes to get her a cupcake with sprinkles that she had been craving right as she was about to take her bath. When she returned, the hotel room was flooded from the bath water.
I'm glad you made it back home Scott in the USA
Hi Scott I always injoy your videos ❤ Whitney Houston had a absolutely beautiful voice I will always be a fan I will always love you will always be one of my favorite songs she a absolutely amazing singer and she is truly missed Rip Whitney Houston 🙏😭
Scott, this video means a lot to me. Thank you for doing it. One time, a bit after she died, I was in New Jersey visiting some friends and made it a priority to visit her grave. I have been to cemeteries around the world and have NEVER been chased out of one before. I had some flowers. I wasn't sure the exact area she was in at the time so I was looking for her. All I wanted to do was pay my respects to her and there were black security cars following me around. It was very devastating for me since she was such an influence for me. Also devastating that I was chased out of a place I was respecting.
I’m sorry you did not get to visit Whitney
@@SCOTTONTAPE after watching your video, I'm glad you understand how sad I was.
I can remember exactly where I was and the news announcement, as if it were yesterday. It is still heartbreaking. 🕊 I get the logistics and financial aspects, but still found it creepy that the Clive Davis' party was 'business as usual.' Thank you for posting, Scott.
Thank you for your hard work. Its really appreciated ❤️✌️🏴
What a voice she had really a fantastic singer
Such a shame she passed away young
Thanks Scott another fab video❤
RIP Whitney Houston
Voice of an angel. May she rest peacefully.
Thanks for sharing! As a Whitney Houston fan I greatly appreciate you! Whitney's music is the soundtrack of my life! When I hear hear music even today. I say sing it Whit! Sang it girl! She's the best female vocalists to ever step in front of a microphone & she gave us her all! We were blessed to witness her beauty & talent! May she rest in peace! 🙏 ❤ 🎶 🎤 🌟
Oh Lord, teach us to number our days so we may gain a heart of wisdom. RIP beautiful Whitney ❤
I miss her voice so much. RIP Whitney.
Scott you should a video on the grave of takeoff from the migos
I will always remember you, And Tina
I still believe she was murdered along with her daughter ....there is just way to much evidence that suggests this.
Brilliant video.
Whitney you will always be missed.🎉
I agree 💯
Sacrificed she was indeed
Ich schließe mich da an. Bin der selben Meinung
We were graced by the voice of an Angel, for a short time. May she and her daughter Rest In Peace 🩶
So when the night falls
My lonely heart calls .....
R.I.P *LEGEND*
Scott, thanks for this video tribute. I've visited Whitney's grave frequently, even before there was a headstone in place (it took more than a year for one to be installed). As has been mentioned, security was awful and harassing during that time, but they've slowly backed off. You can always locate the row by knowing that it's about 2/3 of the way down that lane and there is a forked tree at the end of the row (against the fence). Also, I often noticed one or two traffic cones in that road marking the row.
Simple grave for a super star. One of the top 5 greatest of all time imo
She was and still is the greatest singer of all time…The Voice aka Nippy aka Whitney Houston…my she and and her angelic voice rest in peace 🙏🏿🙏🏿
Lovely vid...She did come from a talented family w/limbs that stretch back to Elvis and Gospel Giants as well as other huge stars in the family......Cissy Houston.....Dionne and the other Warwicks.....Thanx for this fitting tribute.
WHAT A VOICE...AND HER DAUGHTER WAS A NICE PERSON,I WAS LUCKY TO KNOW HER...REST IN PEACE MOTHER AND DAUGHTER🙏
Thanks to Dolly for writing your favored Whitney song. She was absolutely beautiful with a voice that cannot be compared. 💕
One of my favorite songs
Thank you, Scott. Beautiful as always. Provides a somber reminder that some of us don’t recover. May she and her daughter rest in paradise.
I cried like a baby when I heard of her passing thankyou for this I still cry over her today God Bless you sweet soul Whitney ❤💗🙏♥💕💓❤ 🙏🙏🙏🙏
“HOUSTON WE HAVE …touching vlog by Scott” 👏
I felt it in my bones...Scott has newest video uploaded. YES!!

Good Evening Scott 🙋🏽. I've seen this over and over again ‼️ and everytime IT STILL break's my heart ❤️. Especially the way she and her daughter both left here WAS and is very tragic. Thank You Scott 🙋🏽
You have blessed us with another masterpiece.Thank you so much for paying respect to a musical icon.Such a tragic mother daughter story.😪
I was in a hotel room in Florida when I heard about her passing all over the news on every station.
Hearing about her passing hit me hard because I listened to her music and her beautiful voice in my teenage years in the 1980’s
I’ll never forget her voice.
I didn’t realize that Whitney Houston is buried in Westfield New Jersey which is only about 45 minutes Southwest from where I live. Beautiful grave stone. May both Whitney and Bobby Kristina rest in eternal peace.
Thanks for such a beautiful video ,Scott . Whitney was an absolutely amazing singer . She may be gone but she has left us with such beautiful music .
Keep up the great work Scott
keep up with the good work scott and thank you fopr keeping us entertained
We Will Always Love You Whitney
Thanks for sharing Scott. Love Whitney Houston. Rest in Peace to Whitney and Bobby Kristina 🙏🙏❤❤🕊🕊
💛💥⚡⚡⚡ always amazing work Scott keep up the good work
This one hit hard!! I grew up on her music
I remember being in my bathroom taking a bath and my partner came home and told me that Whitney Houston had died it just broke my heart and still does I'm a huge fan I listen to her still and I copy some her vocals when I sing the voice a true icon
