As one of the best-selling artists in the history of recorded music, Whitney Houston was no stranger to seeing her wall lined with plaques from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in her lifetime.
The first Black artist to have 3 Diamond albums to her credit (as we reported here), Houston’s timeless catalog is filled with gargantuan hits – many of which are still collecting accolades nearly 10 years after her untimely death.
Case in point? ‘I Will Always Love You,’ Houston’s 1992 remake of the classic 1970’s Dolly Parton hit.
