Description

This book is an author telling us about herself in attempts to regain the narrative of her life after decades of the media spreading lies about her. The warping effect of denial isn’t easily shrugged off and there is an overwhelming sense, both in the book and in person, of someone running a gamut of internal barriers. These ladies were thick as thieves for 20+ years, but she doesn’t dish on Houston’s worst behaviors, and she doesn’t even bash Bobby Brown very much, which would have been easy to do, because Bobby Brown is an absolute piece of garbage. Whitney was very religious and sang like an angel, yet she smoked cigarettes and weed on a regular basis. There was nothing Crawford could do but plead with her to stop and report her drug use to her mother.

Crawford was there when Houston toured as support for Luther Vandross, sneaking out into the audience after the opening set to catch as much of the headliner as she could before being recognized by fans. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. To those who did this: you are not true “Goodreaders” b/c if you were you would understand that everybody deserves to tell their truth. A Song for You gives an insight into Whitney and Robyn's private friendship, from two young girls to Whitney's rise to fame and downfall into drugs.It was the summer of 1980, and both young women were running youth activities at a community center in their shared hometown of East Orange, New Jersey.

Nevertheless, she never stopped being loyal to Whitney or their connection only speaking out now long after her death. you tried it Sir—- I hollered at Robyn’s recant of Whitney’s description of him and his cheating ways. Together during countless sold-out world tours, behind the scenes as hit after hit was recorded, through Whitney’s marriage and the birth of her daughter, the two navigated often challenging families, great loves, and painful losses, always supporting each other with laughter and friendship.Once, while Crawford was on tour with Houston in London, she went on a date with one of her dancers. I have always been a huge whitney houston fan I connected to her voice many years ago and followed her career to the very end. Interwoven throughout the book is also Robyn's longing to rescue her friend from her self-destructive habits and her dysfunctional family relationships. After a long career in the music industry, Robyn Crawford is now focused on mental and physical wellness and writing. If "they" had let Whitney be open about her relationship with Robyn, then maybe a huge message would have got through and gone some way to stamping out homophobia.

Crawford and Houston were teenagers when they met at a community centre in East Orange, New Jersey, the singer the younger by three years. The saddest part is y’all; Whitney didn’t live to tell her own story but everyone else is YET HERE feeding us their side. It was unclear why more wasn't done to protect Houston's assets and best interests financially and otherwise. Crawford's lap was there for Houston to lay her head in after being told that she needed to get a weave for the tour supporting her debut album, in part because the dignified cover photo looked "too black.More acutely, it is the story of two women who, for the entirety of Houston’s life, concealed the sexual origins of that relationship, amid intense and often prurient speculation. The singer’s management team was small in those days – even in the mid-1980s, when Houston’s first two albums became two of the biggest-selling debuts of all time, with some 40m copies sold worldwide (the eponymous Whitney Houston, with its huge hits How Will I Know and Saving All My Love For You; and its follow-up, Whitney, featuring I Wanna Dance With Somebody, So Emotional and Didn’t We Almost Have It All). The story told by Robyn Crawford in the pages of A Song For You, an account of her decades-long relationship with Whitney Houston is tender, moving and painful to read, the history of a friendship that is also a love story.
