Whitney Houston - Whitney Houston

Whitney Houston is the self-titled debut studio album by American singer Whitney Houston, released by Arista Records on February 14, 1985. The album received a slow commercial response at first, but began to gain popularity in the summer of 1985. It eventually topped the Billboard 200 for 14 weeks in 1986, spawning three number-one singles on the Billboard Hot 100 — "Saving All My Love for You", "How Will I Know", and "Greatest Love of All" (a cover of "The Greatest Love of All", originally recorded in 1977 by George Benson) — making it both the first debut album and the first album by a solo female artist to do so.

On January 26, 2010, the album was reissued as Whitney Houston - The Deluxe Anniversary Edition, an expanded edition with five bonus tracks, including an a cappella version of "How Will I Know", that original 12-inch remixes, a booklet on the history of the original album, and a DVD of live performances and interviews with Whitney Houston and Clive Davis.
