After decades of speculation, Robyn Crawford, a close friend, business collaborator and confidante of Whitney Houston, tells her side of the story.
After a long career in the music industry, Robyn Crawford is now focused on writing. She lives in New Jersey with her wife, Audible executive Lisa Hintelmann, and their children.
“Crawford’s stunning memoir A Song for You, is much more
complicated. She pays homage to her best friend with fond, funny,
sometimes-tragic anecdotes, from their initial romantic connection
as camp counselors in New Jersey to blow-ups with Bobby Brown and
Houston’s mother, Cissy, years later. Crawford writes with pathos,
clarity, and tenderness while tracing the tragedies that rocked her
family and the Houstons."
—Pitchfork, The Best Music Books of 2019
"A superb teaching novel-like book, about love that protects but
does not possess. We may think we're not ready for this, but we
are....I so admire the dignity of this woman. And her beauty."
—Alice Walker on AliceWalkersGarden.com
“A generous, loving book that has more insight on Houston’s
career—the ride, the fall—than any other single source that I’ve
encountered...A Song for You is unequivocally worth the
wait...Crawford has provided a crucial public service in her
lovely, loving book.”
—Jezebel
“The vital, honest, and previously untold story that provides an
understanding of the complex life of Whitney Houston.”
—LGBTQ Nation
“[A Song for You] is a story of becoming, of starting over and
loving again, of healing in immeasurable ways that are both
scarring yet beautiful.”
—She Reads
