Davis signed Houston to his record label and combined her unique sound with gospel and soul music to produce pop hits. Some critics thought Houston had “sold out.”

David Bowie calling out MTV on its lack of diversity 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 will always be my hero
I still can't believe a mainstream channel in the 80s could be that openly racist.
Whitney was known and will forever be known as the greatest female artist of all time……
She was destroyed by the leaches They are no good for us. They make the money while we die young and in drugs
🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌺🌹🌹🌹🎶🎵💕💞🎤❤️❤️❤️💓💖♥️💝❣️💞
Why couldn't you show her the respect of not having a party after she died?
Many thanks to David Bowie vocalising for the people of colour.
Then Micheal Jackson made it happen and Whitney.
R. I. P to three amazing artists Whitney David and Micheal ❤️🙏❤️
Thank you to David Bowie. Otherwise, we won’t discover and hear talented artist like MJ, Whitney and others.
Thank you David Bowie for calling them out.
Thank you David Bowie for calling MTV out.
It's so sad to see such a beautiful person with such a unforgettable talent come such a tragic end. I cried.
Guatemala loves Whitney!!
I will never forget where I was and what I was doing the first time I heard Whitney Houston…. She touched my soul
Why is the man in the hat holding a candle 🙂
MJ made MTV and opened doors for black artists.
Whitney certified female artists on MTV and everywhere else that matters.
Gosh these two artists did an amazing job.
She was so good. Love her!
Rumor has it that Narada is STILL holding that damn candle.
Whitney looks like Dionne Warwick in the thumb nail.
It's a shame they're hiding Whitney and Michael Jackson's true contributions in the music industry. The author Roman Castle blows the whistle regarding the corruption in the music arena in his book "On My Way to Hollywood." I highly recommend it to anyone who loves a page-turner. There's also a bonus chapter dedicated to Whitney. It is ALL THAT! frfr
Out of the whole 10:07 of watching this, the one thing that stood out to me above everything else was that piercing look of disbelief when David Bowie
ask the producer of MTV "why are there no black artists on MTV" He stated that middle white America wasn't ready for that, then Mr Bowie gave him that Iconic Look of disbelief and disappointment which was very telling. I didn't realize MTV was flat out racist like that..we're talking about the 80's not the 50's. Hats off to the Legendary Davie Bowie for calling him out on that racist BS!!!
The piano score is kinda intrusive 🙆🏾♀️.
And…this reminds me of the "Whitney Houston: Can I Be Me?" documentary 🤔
Why are females speaking?
Michael: "Can you sing that high?"
Whitney: "Hold my vocal chords."
If Clive Davis were alive today, he’d be sitting next to Harvey Weinstein.
brilliant on how they orchestrated her amazing career her voice was a treasure to so many of us.
Bowie a real one for that 👁️🙏👁️always ahead of his time &…. A beautiful soul 💙👀rip u see his face, his words & tone polite but his eyes say everything in that interview ❣️❣️✨
Biggest LIE ever.. he didn’t discover Whitney..
I feel bad for Bobby brown . All they did was love each other
I wish I could find that huge cardboard cut out of the second Whitney Houston album that I saw at Sound Warehouse. It had her albums and cassettes in the cardboard I recall.
Blessing blessedlove
Wow that look on David Bowie’s face says “not buying it mate”😆
4EVER & EVER THE MOST IMPORTANT SINGER OF THE WHOLE WORLD 🌎‼️
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ask Elektra Records if Clive discovered Whitney…. Lies lies lies.. the only reason she went to Arista and DISCOVERED Clive is because Dionne and Aretha was already there and Cissy and John thought it would be safe…. All these bioflops are money grab.. milking her fans… shame
He NEVER DISCOVERED WHITNEY…. LIES
Did u see that look Bowie gave him respect
She should have never became famous because just maybe things would have been better. Maybe fame is not for everyone. Idk. Maybe I'm wrong.
David Bowie was with the shyts.
She killed herself what a shame. She was hook on drugs.
I wish we had actually footage from the clubs because they have them . Why not show us instead of just telling us ? Ugh
