Whitney Houston - The Greatest Love of All - 1985 • TopPop
Yesterday it was 10 years since Whitney Houston’s untimely death. We commemorate her with this rare video, broadcast in the Netherlands on April 19, 1985 during Whitney’s first promotional visit to the Netherlands. She was 21 at the time.
Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer and actress. She is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, with sales of over 200 million records worldwide. Houston’s vocal performances, as well as her prominence on the MTV and popular music charts, have influenced many African American artists.
Houston began singing in church as a child and became a background vocalist while in high school. She was one of the first black women to appear on the cover of Seventeen magazine after becoming a teen model in 1981. With the guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis, Houston signed to the label at age 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney Houston (1985) and Whitney (1987), both peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and are among the best-selling albums of all time. She is the only artist to have seven consecutive number-one singles on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart, from “Saving All My Love for You“ in 1985 to “Where Do Broken Hearts Go“ in 1988. Houston’s third studio album, I’m Your Baby Tonight (1990), was certified quintuple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and yielded two Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, the title track “I’m Your Baby Tonight“ and “All the Man That I Need“.
Whitney Houston visited the Netherlands in March 1985 just 2 weeks after the USA release of her first album ’Whitney Houston’. This performance in AVRO tv show ’Show van de maand’ with Dutch singer Liesbeth List was broadcast on April 19, 1985 and was her second tv performance worldwide!
