Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When was Whitney Houston born?

Answer: August 9th, 1963

Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born August 9th, 1963 in Newark, New Jersey. She had one natural brother, Michael, two stepbrothers (Gary and John) and a step sister named Alana. Her mother, Cissy Houston was a gospel singer and her father was a entertainment executive named John Russell Houston, Jr.
2. What magazine did Whitney Houston grace on its front cover in 1981 as the first woman of color?

Answer: Seventeen

Whitney was 18 years old when she graced the cover of "Seventeen" magazine. She only worked briefly as a model, as she really wanted to follow in the steps of her mother as a singer.
3. Whitney Houston sang background for what singer when she was 15 years old?

Answer: Chaka Khan

Whitney sang background for "I'm Every Woman" in 1978 with Chaka Khan. I think this version is great. Later on, Whitney sings the same song on the soundtrack for the film "The Bodyguard" (1992). You can hear her yell out "Chaka Khan" in the song. Very classy, Whitney.
4. Who was a famous cousin of Whitney Houston?

Answer: Dionne Warwick

Dionne Warwick first signed with Specter Records in 1962. She has had a long list of hits like "I'll Never Fall in Love Again" (released in 1969), "You've Lost That Lovin' Feelin'" (1969), "Déjà Vu" (1979) and "That's What Friends Are For" (1985).
5. What was the name of Whitney Houstons' debut album?

Answer: Whitney Houston

In 1985, Whitney released her debut album "Whitney Houston". It had so many good songs on it. It included: "Saving All My Love For You" and "The Greatest Love of All". This album was the biggest selling album by a new artist. This debut album won her a Grammy award.
6. What album included the hit "I Wanna Dance With Somebody"?

Answer: Whitney

Whitney's second album called "Whitney" was released in 1987; it included this great dance hit. This song showed that she had the ability to be very upbeat and current and not just a ballad singer. This is still one of my favorite songs to this day!
7. Who wrote the song "I Will Always Love You" (1973)?

Answer: Dolly Parton

Dolly Parton wrote this song in 1973. It was included on her album "Jolene"(1974). The first time I heard this song was in the movie "The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas" (1982). While Burt Reynolds was talking to Dolly, she started singing this song.
8. Whitney Houston performed the national anthem at what sporting event?

Answer: Super Bowl XXV

During the Persian Gulf War (2 August 1990-28 February 1991), Whitney sang the nation anthem at Super Bowl XXV on January 27th, 1991. Her version reached the Top 20 on the US Hot 100 in 1991.
9. Who was Whitney's co-star in the movie "The Bodyguard" (1992)?

Answer: Kevin Costner

Kevin played Frank Farmer in the 1982 movie "The Bodyguard". He protected Rachel Marron (Whitney). Frank felt guilty for being off duty when President Reagan was shot during his duty as a Secret Service Special Agent.
He was hired to protect her after she (Rachel) received death threats.
10. On what day was the great Whitney Houston found dead?

Answer: February 11th, 2012

Whitney was found dead on February 11th, 2012. She was expected to be at a party later that night at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. For me, it does not matter what the cause of death was. She was a great singer and one who will definitely be missed.
Elvis Presley died n August 17th, 1977.
