The 40 Best Whitney Houston Songs
Today, February 18, when Whitney Houston is laid to rest, many will remember her for her successes—millions of albums sold, a record seven straight No. 1 singles, the first female artist to debut on the charts at No. 1. Others will remember her for her troubles—her drug abuse, her rocky marriage to Bobby Brown. But we'll always remember her for her music, and above all her one-of-a-kind, undeniable voice, which turned mere songs into cultural benchmarks. She may have left us too soon, but her music isn't going anywhere. Read on as BET.com counts down Whitney Houston's best 40 songs, each a landmark to her once-in-a-generation talent and spirit. —Alex Gale
