A Song for You
A Song for You: My Life with Whitney Houston | Robyn Crawford
5 posts | 7 read | 4 to read
Robyn Crawford and Whitney Houston were inseparable friends and collaborators. This is the poignant inside story of their life together. Whitney Houston is as big a superstar as the music business has ever known. She exploded on the scene in 1985 with her debut album and spent the next two decades dominating the charts and capturing the hearts of fans around the world. One person was there by her side through it all. Since Whitney's death in 2012, that trusted and loyal friend, Robyn Crawford, 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. In A Song for You, Robyn breaks her silence to share the moving and often complicated story of her life and relationship with Whitney. With warmth, candor, and an impressive recall of detail, Robyn gives readers insight into Whitney's life and career. She traces the years from when she and Whitney first met as teenagers in the 1980s to the recording of Whitney's first album and the infinite success that followed. From countless sold-out world tours to her epic rendition of the US national anthem to the set of The Bodyguard, her tempestuous marriage, and the birth of her only child, Robyn was there. Deeply personal and heartfelt, A Song for You is the vital, honest, and previously untold story that provides an understanding of the complex life of Whitney Houston. Finally, the person who knew her best sets the record straight.

I usually avoid these types of memoirs but after watching the documentary 'Can I be Me' it became clear that Robyn (who was previously unknown to me) had not written this memoir to 'sell out' but because she had something valuable to say, and boy, did she!
I really enjoyed this book. It's well written and doesn't go for anyone's throat (even though some people may have deserved it). It was a pleasure to learn about Robyn and her life and journey.

An audio read narrated by the author, which I always prefer. Definitely recommend for anyone who is a Whitney Houston fan. I think it‘s very clear that Robyn cared for Whitney greatly, because it was written with love and respect. Lastly, I usually speed my books up to 1.25, and I probably could have sped it up to 1.5. I share this because if you don‘t normally do that, you may find a the book slow paced if listening to it.
