A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston

Product Information

Then I read about Robyn and I read quotes from Cissy - and I saw film footage of Cissy and it all fell into place. In 1988, when Crawford suggested to Cissy that the singer needed help for her drug addiction, she was given short shrift. Houston became mega-famous when she signed with Arista Records: with a string of number one hit records and sold out concert tours world wide-- her relationship with Crawford was constantly scrutinized by the press. Robyn talks about Whitney in a loving way, but also discuss both of their struggles with drug use and Whitney’s self-esteem issues (which we already knew).

But then the more people came into it, and the bigger she got – you know, she’s not black enough, they’re always together, what’s going on there, she’s not dating anyone – all of that got bigger and bigger, and she rose.

I can’t imagine how brave it was to put it all in words, but I’m confident it is going to bring her the peace she deserves. It is a distorting effect of fame that minor episodes can assume a much larger prominence than they deserve. On that day in 1983 when 19-year-old Houston visited Crawford and gave her a Bible, the two women inscribed the book with lines testifying to their feelings for each other. Since Whitney's death in 2012, Robyn has stayed out of the limelight and held the great joys, wild adventures, and hard truths of her life with Whitney close to her heart.

I decided to read this book after all the doom and gloom going on in the world, I needed a book that had some humanity, love and a warm hug and that's exactly what I got with this book.

You can tell she really loved her friend and had her best interest at heart even in writing the book. I always brought my Whitney cassette tape with me while I patiently waited my turn to be able to listen to it.Tacksam över att hon ändå skriver om deras relation och hur hon tog sig vidare och unnar henne alla hikes i hela världen med hennes fru och barn och hoppas de alltid får bo i historiska hus och vara tillsammans. There were Houston's first solo recordings, with the already-seasoned singer nailing the lead to "How Will I Know" in one take.
