Product Description
As big a hit as it was -- and it was a multi-platinum blockbuster, spinning off several chart-toppers -- it's not easy to think of Whitney Houston's 1985 debut as the dawning of a new era, but it was. Arriving in the thick of MTV, when the slick sounds of yacht-soul were fading, Whitney Houston is the foundation of diva-pop, straddling clean, cheery R&B and big ballads designed with the adult contemporary audience in mind. Houston's background lay in the former -- actually, it was even riskier, encompassing a stint with the experimental Bill Laswell outfit Material -- and her benefactor Clive Davis knew all about selling records to the masses. Appealing as this album is, Davis may never have imagined how Whitney Houston would shift tastes, pushing toward skyscraping ballads where the singer's affectations, not the songs, were paramount -- a move that later led to hollow records, but on Whitney Houston the songs were as important as the immaculate productions. ...See Full Description

| Her First,& Still Best Work To Date. This is the album that started it all! And it is still a joy to listen to. Her other LP's like,"I'm Your Baby Tonight",& "My Love Is Your Love" are quite decient albums but this collection of songs,from a great collection of writers & producers,is STILL "The Greatest Love Of All" By a reviewer (Stockton,CA) |
| Great album Whitney Hosutons debut was a big hit in 1985, and remains the 100 best selling albums in the world. With beautiful ballads like "Saving All My Love For You" and "You Give Good Love" and "Greatest Love of All" And who could forget her first catchy pop hit "How Will I Know" All great songs from the greatest pop star EVER!!

| Beautiful album I listened to this cd since I was 8 years old. 21 years later, I still listened to this album. As far as I love her second album, "Whitney", this is cd is better than all her new materials of the millenium. Because this album is great, it brings me back to my childhood memories. My favorite songs are with her duet with Jermaine Jackson on "Take Good Care of my Heart" and "Nobody Loves Me Like You Do". Also, her duet with Teddy Pendegrass on "Hold Me". Last, my ultimate favorite song is "All At Once". There are no words to describe how beautifully melismatic her voice sounds in every song she sung. It's just beautiful.

| Excellent Debut Album This album is great. It is especially great because Whitney is new talent. New talent making an album like this is very acceptional. Whitney is a very good singer and recording artist in her right. This album will be cherished as the greatest album of the 1986s. A great album from a great artist. Whitney better get this one for their collection. By jejr9 (Irvine) |
