Whitney Houston

Pop diva Whitney Houston received her first Grammy before she was 21 years old. Born into a family of "soul aristocracy," (her mother is Cissy Houston, her first cousin is Dionne Warwick, and Aretha Franklin is her godmother), she quickly proved her fame went beyond family connections.

She broke long established music milestones; the first female to have an album number one on the charts and the first artist in music history to score seven consecutive number one hits, supassing records set by the Beatles.

Then, the regal queen of pop married the raunchy R&B bad boy, Bobby Brown. And while she was becoming known for crossing over from music to film star, she was also struggling into a troubled marriage.
