Whitney Houston is probably best known for her interpretation of the
Dolly Parton classic "I Will Always Love You", the biggest-selling single of all time by a female artist. The Bodyguard soundtrack, on which the song appeared, is one of the top 5 biggest-selling albums of all time and is the biggest-selling motion picture
soundtrack in history. Whitney also worked on music for other motion pictures, like Penny Marshall's Christmas movie "The Preacher's Wife".
Whitney Houston is the only artist ever to have seven consecutive number 1 Billboard hits, surpassing a record previously set by
The Beatles and the
Bee Gees. Guinness World Records lists Whitney as the "most awarded female artist of all time," with 411 awards (as of 2006). Whitney's tragic passing on February 11, 2012 is still deeply felt by her family, friends and millions of fans worldwide, who are committed to keeping her legacy alive.
