Whitney signed with Arista in 1983 and released her self-titled debut album two years later. The New York Times called her first effort, “an impressive, musically conservative showcase for an exceptional vocal talent.” She continued to garner similar accolades for subsequent albums, while her fast-growing fan base catapulted her into the realm of world-class entertainer. She crossed over into acting, starring in the Hollywood blockbusters “The Bodyguard,” “Waiting To Exhale,” and “The Preacher’s Wife.”
