Whitney Houston was inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame tonight in a special ceremony that aired on HBO. Also inducted were Notorious BIG, The Doobie Brothers, T Rex, Depeche Mode, Nine Inch Nails, with the Ahmet Ertegun Award going to Irving Azoff and Jon Landau.
Houston’s musical upbringing is one of the most storied in the business, and she seemed destined for greatness. Her mother, soul singer Cissy Houston, and cousin, Dionne Warwick, provided Whitney with expert training from a young age. “When I started singing,” she once said, “it was almost like speaking.”
Houston covered all genres spanning pop, rock, gospel, R&B, funk, soul, and hip-hop. She moved from ballads that showcased her vocal range like “Didn’t We Almost Have It All” to dance tracks like “I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me).”
Check out the tribute video honoring her that played ahead of the acceptance by her mother Cissy Houston and Sister in law Pat Houston.
