Growing up, Whitney Houston attended the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, NJ. She wore the white choir robe shown in this photo while performing in the youth choir in the 1970s, becoming one of the choir’s brightest stars. Whitney wore the black and red jacket, also shown here, on the Greatest Love Of All World Tour in 1986. Her first world tour as a headliner, she performed in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia.
