The Estate of Whitney Houston will honour the late diva this year in celebration of what would have been her 60th birthday.
In a post on social media via her official channels, representatives confirmed plans to mark the milestone over the coming months alongside an accompanying graphic.
“Celebrating Whitney’s legacy and her 60th birthday in 2023,” they penned. “Stay tuned for more to come!”
Whitney shot to fame in the mid-eighties with the release of her self-titled debut album in 1985, topping the charts worldwide and landing five Grammy nominations – including Best Pop Vocal Performance, Female, for Saving All My Love for You.
It also delivered hits such as How Will I Know and Greatest Love of All, while follow-up ‘Whitney’ (1987) launched her career to new heights, with the global smashes I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me) and So Emotional.
Heading into the nineties, her third album ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’ (1990) became another hit for the superstar, and in 1992 her appearance in ‘The Bodyguard’ took her back to the top of the charts with her cover of Dolly Parton’s I Will Always Love You.
Four years later, a cover of The Four Tops’ I Believe in You and Me from ‘The Preacher’s Wife’ soundtrack was another hit, while follow-up album ‘My Love Is Your Love’ (1998) became a global sensation, with the hit Mariah Carey collaboration When You Believe and the epic It’s Not Right But It’s OK.
Last year, the Estate confirmed ‘Whitney’, ‘Whitney Houston’, ‘I’m Your Baby Tonight’, ’The Preacher’s Wife’, and ‘My Love Is Your Love’ will be reissued on vinyl in 2023.
It comes following the release of the hit biopic ‘I Wanna Dance With Somebody’, starring Naomi Ackie in the leading role.
