At age 15, Whitney sang backup on Chaka Khan’s “I’m Every Woman,” a tune she later performed on The Bodyguard soundtrack. Her multi-octave vocal range became her signature sound, and led to her discovery by Arista Records’ president Clive Davis.
15岁那年，她为恰克?卡恩的歌曲“I’m Every Woman ”（我是个女孩）伴唱，这首歌后来出现在了电影《保镖》的原声音乐中。她宽广的音域是她的特色，也得益于此，她被艾瑞斯塔唱片公司董事长发掘。
