Her debut album, "Whitney Houston," released in 1985, became the best-selling debut album by a female artist at that time. It included hit singles like "Saving All My Love for You" and "How Will I Know."

Her success continued with albums like "Whitney" (1987) and "I'm Your Baby Tonight" (1990), but it was her role in the film "The Bodyguard" (1992) and its soundtrack that cemented her status as a pop icon. The soundtrack featured her rendition of "I Will Always Love You," which became one of the best-selling singles of all time.


Throughout her career, Houston won numerous awards, including multiple Grammy Awards. However, she also struggled with personal issues, including substance abuse, which impacted her career and personal life.
