The 40 Best Whitney Houston Songs

Happy Birthday, Whitney! We miss you.

Whitney
Shining Star - Throughout her career, Whitney has refreshed her style and shown that just like her music, she can look great and current in any decade. In the late '90s, she adopted a sleek bob, which she showed off with a green leather dress when she performed "It’s Not Right But It's OK" at the 1999 Brit Awards. She also wore the sassy look, complete with a black choker and one leather glove, in the music video for the song.(Photo: PA Photos /Landov 1999)
Hat Trick - Most artists could retire after seven consecutive number-one hits, but Whitney beat herself at her own game when she scored three simultaneous chart toppers in 1992: "I Will Always Love You," from the Bodyguard soundtrack, "I Have Nothing" and "I'm Every Woman."(Photo: Ebet Roberts/Redferns)On her daughter Bobbi Kristina: - "I know that I could really kill for my daughter. I know because I'm living for her, so I'm fierce when it comes down to it." (Photo: Dave Benett/Getty Images)

The 40 Best Whitney Houston Songs  - In a perfect world Whitney Houston would still be singing these songs, but as we celebrate the legendary singer’s 59th birthday (August 9) we’re able to also look back at the music she left behind for us. Whitney’s songs are touchstones for other artists who aspire to just be a little close to her coveted vocal status, for those karaoke aficionados who can’t wait to sing along, or for the fans of memorable films Whitney’s vocals soundtracked.— Jon Reyes & BET Staff (Photo: Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images)
