Elizabeth is the middle name of Whitney Houston [b. August 9, 1963]. Houston got off to an early, solid start in her singing career. She's the daughter of award winning soul and gospel singer Emily Cissy Drinkard Houston [b. September 9, 1933]. She's the first cousin of Delia Mae Warwick [September 25, 1945-October 18, 2008] and Dionne Warwick [b. December 12, 1940]. She's the goddaughter of the acknowledged 'Queen of Soul', Arethra Louise Franklin [b. March 25, 1942].
But Houston's career as a record breaking mezzo soprano is due to her own talent. For example, her debut album 'Whitney Houston' quickly became the best selling debut album by a female artist as of 1985. In 1987, her second album, 'Whitney', broke another record. In that year, she became the first female artist to have her album debut at number 1 on the Billboard 200 albums chart. And these are just two examples of Houston's successful careers in singing, modeling, and acting.
