Best Answer

Lucy discovered her joy of performing on stage at age twelve, began acting training at age fifteen, and did part time stage work and modeling by age seventeen. After a two-year illness interrupted her life, she went back to being a struggling actress - model. After many years of "working her way up the ranks" she co-starred in a major MGM musical.

The entertainment business was in her blood at a very young age, and she spent very little time in any other profession.

At the age of 11, Houston started performing as a soloist in the junior gospel choir at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, where she also learned to play the piano. Her first solo performance in the church was "Guide Me, O Thou Great Jehovah". When Houston was a teenager, she attended Mount Saint Dominic Academy, a Catholic girls' high school in Caldwell, New Jersey, where she met her best friend Robyn Crawford, whom she described as the "sister she never had". While Houston was still in school, her mother continued to teach her how to sing.Houston was also exposed to the music of Chaka Khan, Gladys Knight, and Roberta Flack, most of whom would have an influence on her as a singer and performer.
