Whitney Houston’s voice defined a generation. Even after her death, her talent remains unmatched. But her incredible success hid a deeply private pain. From a mother who coveted her success to a father who subsisted off it, Whitney was burdened by the responsibility to take care of her family from a young age. The pressure to be all things to all people led her down a dark path of violence, drug addiction and abuse. But despite her tragic end, Whitney will always be remembered as the crossover hitmaker who lit up the charts, and changed the music industry forever.
