THROWBACK:Be Be & Ce Ce WINANS - Heaven
In 1982 the duo took a job performing with the PTL Singers in Charlotte, North Carolina. With PTL, BeBe and CeCe were able to hone their stage skills, and also to gain national exposure through frequent television appearances and tours. They scored their first radio hit, a cover version of the pop song "Up Where We Belong," while still performing with PTL. As their audience grew, BeBe and CeCe began receiving calls from churches all over the country, and soon they were being noticed by record companies as well.
The duo signed with the Christian label Sparrow--which up to then did not have a single black artist on its roster--and produced its debut album, BeBe & CeCe Winans, in 1987. When executives at Sparrow heard the results, they were convinced that the recording had commercial potential beyond the Christian market. They took the recording to Capitol Records, and Capitol agreed to assist with distribution. The album was a hit with mainstream and gospel audiences alike. With several family members singing background parts, the recording sold well on both the R&B and Inspirational charts, and it earned the duo several Grammy nominations and a handful of Dove awards for Christian music. Two singles, "I.O.U. Me" and "For Always" received loads of radio airplay.
The pair's follow-up album, Heaven, released in 1988, faired even better. Heaven became the first gospel recording since Aretha Franklin's Amazing Grace (1972) to reach the top ten on Billboard's R&B charts and to go gold (100,000 copies sold). The album featured a guest performance by superstar and close friend Whitney Houston. For Heaven BeBe and CeCe received four Grammy Awards, an NAACP Image Award, scads of other honors, and a level of mainstream acclaim that had probably never before been lavished on a performing entity working so clearly within the Gospel idiom.

WHITNEY HOUSTON 08/09/1963-02/11/2012
GREATEST LOVE OF ALL
Whitney Elizabeth Houston (August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012) was an American singer, actress, producer and model. Whitney Houston is the most celebrated & awarded female act of all time, according to Guinness World Records, and her list of awards include 2 Emmy Awards, 6 Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, 22 American Music Awards, among a total of over 415 career awards as of 2010. Houston was also one of the world's best-selling music artists, having sold over 170 million albums and singles worldwide.
Inspired by several prominent soul singers in her family, including mother Cissy Houston and cousins Dionne Warwick and the late Dee Dee Warwick, as well as her godmother, Aretha Franklin, Houston began singing with New Jersey church's junior gospel choir at age 11.After she began performing alongside her mother in night clubs in the New York City area, she was discovered by Arista Records label head Clive Davis. As of 2011,Whitney Houston has released seven studio albums and three movie soundtrack albums, all of which have diamond, multi-platinum, platinum, or gold certification.
I HAVE NOTHING
Whitney Houston is the only artist to chart seven consecutive No. 1 Billboard Hot 100hits ("Saving All My Love for You", "How Will I Know", "Greatest Love of All", "I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)", "Didn't We Almost Have It All", "So Emotional", and "Where Do Broken Hearts Go"). Houston is the second artist behind Elton John and the only female artist to have two number-one Top Billboard 200 Album awards (formerly "Top Pop Album") on the Billboard magazine year-end charts. Houston's 1985 debut album, Whitney Houston, became the best-selling debut album by a female act at the time of its release. The album was also named Rolling Stone's best album of 1986, and was ranked at number 254 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time. Her second studio album, Whitney (1987), became the first album by a female artist to debut at number one on the Billboard 200 albums chart. Whitney's crossover appeal on the popular music charts as well as her prominence on MTV, starting with her video for "How Will I Know", influenced several African-American female artists to follow in her footsteps.
I'M EVERY WOMAN
Whitney Houston's first acting role was as the star of the feature film The Bodyguard(1992). The movie's original soundtrack won the 1994 Grammy Award for Album of the Year. Its lead single, "I Will Always Love You", became the best-selling single by a female artist in music history. With this album, Houston became the first act(solo or group, male or female) to sell more than a million copies of an album within a single week period. The album also makes her the only female act in the top 10 list of the best-selling albums of all time, at number four. Houston continued to star in movies and contribute to their adjoining soundtracks, including the films Waiting to Exhale (1995) and The Preacher's Wife (1996). The Preacher's Wife soundtrack would go on to become the best-selling gospel album in history. Three years after the release of her fourth studio album, My Love Is Your Love (1998), she renewed her recording contract with Arista Records. She released her fifth studio album, Just Whitney, in 2002, and the Christmas-themed One Wish: The Holiday Album in 2003. Amid widespread media coverage of personal and professional turmoil, Houston ended her 14-year marriage to singer Bobby Brown in 2006. In 2009, Houston released her seventh studio album, I Look to You.

Check it out, tell us what you think.
THROWBACK: MISSY ELLIOT "I'M REALLY HOT"
In the early 1990s, Missy formed R&B group,Fayze (later renamed Sista), with friends LaShawn Shellman, Chonita Coleman, and Radiah Scott. She recruited her neighborhood friend Timothy Mosley as the group's producer and began making demo tracks. In 1991, Fayze caught the attention of Jodeci member and producer DeVante Swing by performing Jodeci songs acappella for him backstage after one of his group's concerts. In short order, Fayze moved to New York City and signed to Elektra Records through DeVante's Swing Mob imprint, also renaming the group Sista. Elliott took Mosley — whom DeVante re-christened Timbaland — and their friend Melvin "Magoo" Barcliff along with her.
Missy Elliot - I'm Really Hot
All 20-plus members of the Swing Mob,with future stars such as Ginuwine, Playa, and Tweet lived in a one two-story house in New York and were often at work on material both for Jodeci and their own projects. While Elliott wrote and rapped on Raven-Symoné's 1993 debut single, "That's What Little Girls Are Made Of", she also contributed songwriting duties, credited and uncredited, to the final two Jodeci albums Diary of a Mad Band (1993) and The Show, The After Party, The Hotel (1995). Timbaland and DeVante jointly produced a Sista album, entitled 4 All the Sistas Around da World and completed in 1994. Though videos were released for the original and remix versions of the single "Brand New", the album was shelved and never released. One of the group's tracks, "It's Alright" featuring Craig Mack, did however make the cut on the soundtrack of the 1995 motion picture Dangerous Minds. But by the end of 1995, Swing Mob had folded and many of its members dispersed; Elliott, Timbaland, Magoo, Ginuwine, and Playa remained together and collaborated on each others' records for the rest of the decade.

NEW MUSIC:BRANDY & MONICA "IT ALL BELONGS TO ME"
"The Boys Is Mine" which was produced by Rodney Jerkins was released in 1998 and became an instant sensation. Back then, singers Brandy and Monica battled it out in song (and in a memorable music video) for the love of the same man.
When the song “The Boy Is Mine” was first released it was a song that many people fell in love with and burned up the charts. That all including the song, the success of it and even the so called “riff” between the two all took place roughly about 14 years ago. Can you believe that those young girls are now all grown up?
Well 14 years later or just fast forward to 2012 and Brandy and Monica have new record label homes which is with the new restructured RCA label. The 2 will also drop their new cd’s this year.
The new single “It All Belongs to Me” which was produced by Rico Love . Do you think the ladies can capture the success of this of the hit “The Boy Is Mine” ? Will fans love the song the way they loved the previous ? We will find out and the wait is over. Here it is….
