Dem Vinyl Boyz are back and this time we talk about one of the top women artists of all time, ranking at number seven for all time most record sales for a female artist with over 200 million sales, Whitney Houston. Houston influenced many singers in popular music and was known for her powerful, soulful vocals and vocal improvisation skills. She is the only artist to have had seven consecutive number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100, from “Saving All My Love for You” in 1985 to “Where Do Broken Hearts Go” in 1988. Her recordings and films generated both great success and controversy. She received numerous accolades throughout her career and posthumously, including two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 16 Billboard Music Awards, and 28 Guinness World Records, as well as induction into the Grammy, Rhythm and Blues Music, and Rock and Roll halls of fame.

Dem Vinyl boys take a trip through Whitney’s exhilarating and tragic life inside the music industry and her own personal life. They also take a look at some of her all time classics and her first studio album “Whitney Houston”. The Vinyl Boys talk about the somewhat recent Whitney Houston documentary called “Whitney” which takes a deep dive into her family life and struggles with addiction during her career.
