THE problem with Houston was she was too good for her own health and sanity. Such spectacular talent saw Whitney hunted by fans and paparazzi.
This handsome CD & DVD set or double CD set coupled with the best-selling Ultimate Collection of greatest hit singles showcases everything from Ms Houston’s debut on the Merv Griffin Show in 1983 to her final performance on Oprah Winfrey’s Show in 2009.
Although much here could already be found on U-Tube, the 16 chronological selections start with a 19-year-old church-trained fledgling pop star calling destiny, and encompasses selections from the 1987 Brits Awards, Superbowl XXV, Welcome Home Heroes and The Concert for a New South Africa.
But the heartbreak moment is that last performance of what would prove to be the most ironic and haunting ballad of her life, I Didn’t Know My Own Strength.
