Description
The New York Times best seller!
After decades of silence, Robyn Crawford, close friend, collaborator, and confidante of Whitney Houston, shares her story.
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 - her best friend, Robyn Crawford.
Since Whitney’s death in 2012, Robyn 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. Now, for the first time ever, Crawford opens up in her memoir, A Song for You.
With warmth, candor, and an impressive recall of detail, Robyn describes the two meeting as teenagers in the 1980s, and how their lives and friendship evolved as Whitney recorded her first album and Robyn pursued her promising Division I basketball career. Together during countless sold-out world tours, behind the scenes as hit after hit was recorded, through Whitney’s marriage and the birth of her daughter, the two navigated often challenging families, great loves, and painful losses, always supporting each other with laughter and friendship.
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.
Ce que les critiques en disent
"As a narrator, Crawford is patient and deliberate, and almost completely without judgment.... She still has a glimmer of New Jersey in her voice, compressing Newark into 'Nawrk,' and her tone hovers between loving and knowing, with only flecks of exasperation." (The New York Times Book Review)

I have to think of me now!
I guess some questions were answered.
Robyn reads her story with truth and conviction you do feel that. The only thing that gets a bit tiresome, is she keeps saying "I have to think of me now" through the whole book. There's her truth Nippys truth and the truth.

I’m glad to Hear Robyn speak her truth.
I always wondered if Robyn would gone through with her side of the story. I don’t believe her to be anything but honest, thoughtful, beautiful soul who had to experience something so rare but yet relatable. I loved hearing about the real Whitney, and the dynamics of this complicated love. Bravo Robyn.

Fascinating and emotionally moving.
Bought this book to learn about Whitney but really became interested in Robyns own story too. It's good to hear the events from her perspective and very touching at times. If you're a big Whitney Houston fan than this is a must.

So Many Emotions
I really appreciate Robyn Crawford sharing a part of her private life with the world. I really feel that her story is the closest to the truth than what was shared by others. Although I don't know any of these individuals personally it angered me when watching "Whitney" the documentary as Whitney's brother Gary described Robyn as a "nobody". Whitney's family's approach, body language and answers when asked about Robyn verses Robyn's approach, body language and answers when asked about Whitney's family reveal much more than Whitney's family are willing to admit to the world or maybe even to themselves. My heart hurts for Whitney because I feel that she couldn't accept herself as she was because her own family wouldn't accept her as she was and that's what truly killed her. Just like Bobby Brown said in the documentary drugs didn't kill her.

Thank you Robyn
Finally, a retelling of Whitney’s legacy that is as honest as it is filled with love. True fans have always loved Robyn, and now we get to fully understand the woman behind the voice and probably the only person on earth that understands the complexity of Whitney Houston, talent, addiction and friendship, that can share their story with honesty and integrity. Thank you, Robyn.
