2020

Amy Linden

On January 27, 1991, Whitney Houston took the stage to sing “The Star-Spangled Banner” at the Super Bowl – the biggest platform in the world for an artist. That year brought an extra level of pressure. The U.S. had just entered the Persian Gulf War, with thousands of American soldiers deployed. More than ever, the artist tasked with the gig needed more than skills. The nation needed someone to literally and metaphorically rally the troops, tap into our collective nationalism, and entertain. Enter Whitney Houston.
