As we count down the days until the release of Whitney Houston’s highly anticipated new album on September 1st, we’d like to invite you to look back on Whitney’s most era-defining videos, which will be showcased right here on www.whitneyhoustoncom-uslegacy.paas-p.smehost.net every week!
First up is “The Greatest Love of All,” one of the signature ballads from Whitney’s 13x Platinum debut album from 1986, Whitney Houston, and its third U.S. #1 single. The song also reached #8 in the UK and became Whitney’s first #1 in Australia, on its way to being nominated for a Grammy Award for ‘Record of the Year’ and a Soul Train Music Award for ‘Single of the Year.’ The music video won an American Music Award for ‘Favorite Soul/R&B Video,’ and was shot at Harlem’s legendary Apollo Theater. It features Whitney’s mother, Cissy Houston, playing herself as she encouraged Whitney’s singing from the time she was a little girl to her blossoming stardom.
