One of the most successful and lauded female vocalists of all time honed her powerful and soulful voice in the company of a powerful family of Motown and Gospel music royalty. Born to sing, Whitney Houston received mentorship in the shadows of her talented relatives before exploding onto the music scene to become a music legend in her own right. However, though Houston’s voice had the power to reach angelic heights, her own personal life was plagued with martial difficulty and deep-seeded demons. The man who became known for his chameleon-like disappearance into a host of nuanced and creative characters was actually an extremely genial, kind, and gentle man in reality. Though his life was cut tragically short, actor Philip Seymour Hoffman left his indelible mark on the celluloid of film history forever. Starting off in a string of independent films as a struggling actor, Hoffman would later become recognized as one of the great pioneers of his craft – a man whose eccentric roles remain some of the most beloved in film.

Book excerpt: Whitney Houston, the revolutionary pop icon who changed the face of the entertainment industry and paved the way to many black singers and musicians in the 1990s and early 2000s. Before Whitney, there was not any black woman singer allowed on MTV. She was one of the first black women to receive air-time on MTV. Whitney was the first woman to receive three number one hits in one album. She was certainly the first African-American woman to be on the cover of Seventeen magazine. In her entire career, Whitney Houston has won 6 Grammy Awards, 22 American Music Awards, 2 Emmy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 415 career awards. She was really an extraordinary talent. It was not always nice and beautiful for her, especially when it comes to personal life. What she considered "true love" in her marriage with Bobby Brown led to be her worst nightmare in 10 short years. Some speculated what caused Whitney's death was one of her addictions developed while she was with the Hip Hop artist Bobby Brown, and this would not have happened to her if she was not with Bobby. Whitney Houston herself exposed some of the intimidations she experienced from Bobby, causing more emotional turmoil and anger. Any type of abuse she had from Bobby Brown was more of an emotional one. She admitted on Oprah that she was not physically abused by him, but she was consistently abused emotionally and psychologically. This painted a different picture and shed more light on Whitney Houston's private life. If you want to learn more about Whitney Houston, this biography is FOR YOU. Let Whitney Houston rest in peace, a true talent the world has ever known. Grab your copy now!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: She still wondered, "Am I good enough? Am I pretty enough? Will they like me?" It was the burden that made her great and the part that caused her to stumble in the end. If you could hear me, no I would tell you, you weren't just good enough, you were great. -- Kevin Costner We all read the same stories and found ourselves believing the rumors. The stories of drug use and drunken nights out, her problems with money and marriage, and even those about how much Kevin Costner despised working with her on the film, The Bodyguard, because of her diva-like ways. But quotes like the one above, along with everything else Kevin Costner shared about his friendship with Whitney Houston, can't help but make you wonder just how misunderstood she really was. This book takes you full circle through Whitney Houston's life, starting with her first solo in her mother's choir at the New Hope Baptist Church in New Jersey to her funeral in that very same church. Every page will give you more and more insight into the tragic superstar, leaving you with an understanding of just how incredible she was, even when the tabloids were declaring otherwise.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Her's was a skyrocket of a life, a tale of beauty, soaring talent, and the risks of stardom. Whitney Houston was born to sing: Her mom, Cissy Houston, is a noted gospel singer; Dionne Warwick was her cousin, soul great Aretha Franklin her aunt. And she was beautiful: Before she ever had a big radio hit, a teenage Whitney was booking modeling gigs in major magazines. Legendary talent guru Clive Davis heard her sing in a club and signed her at 19; her first album, Whitney Houston, spawned three No. 1 hits and made her a staple on MTV. Seven years later, The Bodyguard made her a movie star. But at the height of an almost-unprecedented arc, something went wrong. Marriage to singer Bobby Brown coincided with a slip from the pinnacle; soon Houston was missing shows, behaving erratically and, eventually, admitting to drug problems. A comeback had started to gain traction-until, the night before the 2012 Grammy Awards, the 48-year-old star was found dead, of unspecified causes, in her Beverly Hills hotel room. Packed with photos and insight, People: Remembering Whitney Houston looks back on wonder, and drama, of a remarkable life.
