Newark, New Jersey: The Birthplace of a Legend

Believe it or not, the woman behind hits like "I Will Always Love You" and "I Wanna Dance With Somebody" was born in the gritty, glorious city of Newark, New Jersey. Yes, the same place where they invented the hot dog. Who knew, right?

It's funny to think about it. Whitney Houston, with that angelic voice and that million-dollar smile, came from the same place where people argue about pizza toppings. But hey, maybe it was the Jersey grit that gave her that edge, that raw power. Or maybe it was just pure talent. Either way, Newark should be getting a statue of her or something.

But there you have it. Next time you’re singing along to "Greatest Love of All," remember, that voice came from a place where they know a thing or two about tough love and even tougher winters.
