Whitney Houston is a singer and actress who left her mark on music history, achieving record-breaking sales from the 1980s through the 1990s as one of the most famous female vocalists in the world.

As exemplified by the theme song from her hugely famous debut film The Bodyguard, “I Will Always Love You,” it’s no exaggeration to say that her voice reached even those in Japan who rarely listen to Western music.

Whitney was born into a true musical dynasty—her mother was a member of a renowned gospel group, and the great pop singer Dionne Warwick is her cousin—so perhaps her fate as a prodigious singer was sealed from the start.

While learning gospel through church choirs from a young age, she leveraged her exceptional looks to work as a professional fashion model at 17.

She signed with a label in 1983, and her debut album, Whitney Houston, released in 1985, became a massive hit.

She earned the honor of winning a Grammy at the young age of 21 and embarked on a brilliant career thereafter.

Although Whitney experienced many personal troubles and became the subject of tabloid gossip in her later years, that does not diminish the value of the remarkable works she created.

If “I Will Always Love You” is the only song you know, why not start with a greatest-hits collection and then explore her works from the ’80s and 2000s as well?

The Star Spangled BannerWhitney Houston

Whitney Houston – Star Spangled-Banner

“The Star-Spangled Banner” refers to the national anthem of the United States (known in Japanese as “Seijōki”).

It was created in 1814 during the height of the War of 1812, and in 1931 President Hoover officially adopted it as the U.

S.

national anthem.

Incidentally, it is different from the American march “The Stars and Stripes Forever.”

I Will Always LoveWhitney Houston

I Will Always Love You

Originally released by Dolly Parton on June 6, 1974, the song became a massive hit when Whitney Houston covered it as the theme for the film The Bodyguard.

It conveys an overwhelming, pure love—accepting that a time may come when the person you love no longer needs you, and yet promising to always love them.

Run To YouWhitney Houston

This is a tear-jerking song by Whitney Houston, whose mysteriously refined vocal work and the extraordinary skill of her top-tier producers have yielded music of a truly global standard.

With its memorable melody and sweeping, lyrical verses that resonate deeply, it’s a piece you’ll find yourself wanting to hear in March.

Didn’t We Almost Have It AllWhitney Houston

Japanese title: “Love Advice,” released in 1987.

This hit song by the late Whitney is one you’ll want to try singing at karaoke at least once.

However, all of her songs are quite challenging and suited for advanced singers, so practice is necessary.

For this song, I think the live version in this video is perfect.

The track has been covered by artists such as Robin Thicke.

Everything to youWhitney Houston

It’s a much-talked-about song that was featured in a film by Whitney Houston, the renowned American singer, and it’s one of her signature tracks.

The Japanese title is lovely as well, and although it’s also a love song, its slow ballad style is very soothing, making it a great recommendation for times when you want to relax.
