40 Rare and Stunning Photographs of a Young and Beautiful Whitney Houston From the 1980s

Whitney Houston (1963–2012) was an American singer and actress. She was cited as the most awarded female artist of all time by Guinness World Records and remains one of the best-selling music artists of all time with 200 million records sold worldwide. Houston’s crossover appeal on the popular music charts—as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her video for “How Will I Know”—influenced several African-American women artists who followed in her footsteps.


Houston began singing in church as a child and became a background vocalist while in high school. With the guidance of Arista Records chairman Clive Davis, she signed to the label at the age of 19. Her first two studio albums, Whitney Houston (1985) and Whitney (1987), both reached number one on the Billboard 200 in the United States and became two of the world’s best-selling albums of all time. She became the only artist to have seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, from “Saving All My Love for You” in 1985 to “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” in 1988.

Tall, slender, and with legs that almost matched the wallop of her supercharged voice, music legend Whitney Houston was made for wearing clothes. Below, a gallery of 40 stunning photographs of Houston from her days as a demure pop diva in the 1980s.
