Her mother Cissy Houston is a gospel singer(福音歌手). Her father served in the military and was in the entertainment business. As a teenager, Whitney Houston performed as a back-up singer for Chaka Khan, Lou Rawls and other artists. But she also had a successful modeling career by the time she was twenty. In 1983, Clive Davis, the head of Arista records, heard Whitney Houston singing in New York City. He offered her a recording agreement soon after. For the next two years, Whitney Houston worked on her first record album. “Whitney Houston” was released in 1985. Slowly but surely, it became a huge hit. It stayed in the number one position on Billboard magazines Top Two Hundred Albums chart for fourteen weeks. The album “Whitney Houston” had seven number one hit singles. It remains the biggest-selling first album by any artist. In 1992 she starred in The Bodyguard, which was a big hit, making more than four hundred million dollars in ticket sales worldwide. But the films popularity did not even come close to the success of the album that went with it. Forty-four million copies have been sold. Among the singles is I Will Always Love You, a song written and recorded earlier by Dolly Parton. Whitney Houstons version sold many more copies. In 1992, Whitney Houston married singer Bobby Brown, of the band New Edition. In the late 1990s, Whitney Houstons professional behavior began to come under question. She began to cancel shows and was late for important events. Her appearance changed; she lost weight and looked unhealthy. Her voice was also suffering.

But one big obstacle lay in her way. To be good enough to play in a band, Brenda had to practise a lot, but she lived next-door to a lot of old people. Many of them are sick. She knew that the sound of beating drums would really get on their nerves. So, she had tried playing in the strangest places: a basement, a kitchen, and even in a shower. But there was always someone it would annoy. One day, while watching a science documentary on TV, she heard that sound cannot travel in space, because theres no air. At that moment, Brenda Bongos decided to become a sort of musical astronaut. With the help of a lot of time, books and work, Brenda built a space bubble. This was a big glass ball connected to a machine which sucked out all the air inside. All that would be left inside was a drum kit(成套設(shè)備)and a chair. Brenda got into the space suit she had made, entered the bubble, turned on the machine, and played those drums like a wild child. It wasnt long before Brenda Bongos came very famous. Many people came to see her play in her space bubble. Shortly afterwards she came out of the bubble and started giving concerts. Her fame spread so much that the government suggested that she be part of a unique space journey. Finally, Brenda was a real musical astronaut, and had gone far beyond her first ambition of playing drums in a band. Years later, when asked how she had achieved all these, she thought for a moment, and said, “If those old people next-door hadnt mattered so much to me, I wouldnt have found a solution, and none of these would have ever happened. ”(317W)5.
