A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston

Product Information

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.

At some points, especially in the later years, it feels like she was grasping at straws (mainly, secondhand stories from Silvia) to continue to tell Whitney’s life story in the years when they had drifted apart.And yes some of the rumors were true, they did have a physical relationship at one time, but it ended long ago. The book is named after a Temptations song the two friends used to listen to at the first apartment they shared.

An intimate look into life of Whitney Houston through the eyes of her best friend and loyal assistant of 20 years. Since Whitney's death in 2012, Robyn has stayed out of the limelight and held the great joys, wild adventures, and hard truths of her life with Whitney close to her heart. I think she slapped my face because she felt that I had done something, and she wanted me to know that I’d earned that slap.That was someone who was suffering from a broken heart and was trying to ask for help and even Robyn herself said Whitney had too much pride. Tror inte heller att Robyn berättar allt, men hela poängen är väl att Whitney aldrig fick ha något privatliv eller sätta egna gränser.

I believe that this book will provide Whitney Houston fans with the knowledge and understanding of maybe the reasons why Whitney chose to use drugs at such a young age and was never able to quit.Robyn did Whitney justice in this book by highlighting the immense highs and the deep lows of being in the shadow of Whitney Houston. This is a searing indictment of the Houston family and the way they exploited and manipulated Whitney, enabled her addiction, drove a wedge between her and the love of her life, and only served themselves. Robyn knew Whitney was struggling with addictions and it seemed that made better headlines then the renowned career she had paving her own way in music. Only Whitney's family and that alone speaks volumes as this "concern" was coming from another place and not Whitney's well-being, but merely as their cash-cow.
