Whitney Thank You's

Letter from Whitney
I cannot believe it has been 25 years since my first album!! Sometimes it seems like only yesterday I was singing in clubs with my mother, and then meeting with Clive Davis to go over songs. I’ll never forget when we recorded “The Greatest Love of All” and how special we thought it was, and how we hoped people would find it inspiring. I can remember the first time I hear my song on the radio!!! And I will never forget the truly special moment of winning the Grammy for “Saving All My Love For You.”
My heart is full of gratitude for the successes I’ve enjoyed over the last 25 years. I give thanks to God and my family every day for the love and strength they provide me.
I could have never done this without the support, encouragement and unconditional love from my fans all over the world.
I love you all!
Peace,
Whitney

“God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can and the wisdom to know the difference…”

To Jermaine Jackson, Thank you for sharing your talents with me. Let’s make hit records, together, at Arista. God bless you and your family. Your friend, Whitney
To Kashif, I enjoyed working with you so much that I know we ought to do it again and again and again. You are great! Love, Whitney

Especially…My mother, Cissy Houston, Mommy, I love you with all my heart. You are how it all began for me and for many others, too. But I had you all to myself and got the best of you. Here’s to you, Mommy! Daddy, Thank you for being my daddy, “This girl’s in love with you.” My brothers, Michael and Gary, Being that I was the only girl, you with think that I had it rough. I did. But I must admit, I wouldn’t have wanted it any other way! Dionne, “D,” you are very special to me. You are and have been a major influence not only in my career but also in my life. I love you! Dee Dee Warwick, I love you, Nippy. And everyone in my Oooh so talented family, I love you! Robyn, What an assistant! I love you and I guess you all need to do is stay in my life, Nip.

Lastly…to anyone I may have missed, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I hope this album will be enjoyed as much as I enjoyed making it.

Love, Whitney
