Whitney Houston
Known for her breathtaking voice and hit songs, Houston enjoyed a successful career spanning several decades, selling over 200 million records, including albums, singles and videos worldwide.
With seven albums to her name, Houston broke several records and, undoubtedly, was an inspiration to up and coming female and coloured musicians during her prime.
Some of her notable feats include being the first musician to receive the most Billboard awards in one night when she took home 11 in 1993, as well as, being the first female artiste to have two certified 10× platinum albums with her debut eponymous album and The Bodyguard Soundtrack.
