Houston, whose career peaked in the 1980s and 90s, suffered from drug abuse and her career declined dramatically following years of success.

She will be heralded by some as one of the greatest voices of all time, and will be recorded as one of the world's bestselling solo artists of all time.

Some of her best known hits include: "How Will I Know," "Saving All My Love for You" and "I Will Always Love You."

Houston won a number of Grammy awards including best album and record of the year, and became recognized for her role in "The Bodyguard," starring Kevin Costner.
