Book Description:
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 new 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.

I absolutely LOVE Robyn even more than I did before. All these people talking about she was money hungry pls keep it pushing! She waited 7yrs to talk and she defended Whitney legacy and brought truth to the light!
frank nitty me too hey. She is an amazing woman
Whitney wasn't with her in 20 yrs. She was in love alone. Whitney was in love with her like she was with her.🤔
Yes, and she had to put up with being portrayed in movies and what not. She needs to tell her own story.
Not Love. Big Spirit operating here. Mess Mess Mess.
Me too
Robyn could read the phone book with that voice and people would listen. Very soothing voice she has
jesse beautiful 👍
My mom doesn't speak English at all (we are Taiwanese), but she told me that Robyn's voice is beautiful and modest.
I believe everything she wrote...
perth45 Everything? I wouldn't go that far. There are those areas of embellishments and slight exaggerations. But for the most part Robyn sheds light on her friendship with Whitney and beyond to give us insight. Much appreciated.
Whitney Sounded Like She Was A True LEO !
We all suffer from the love paradox
She is THE absolute example of LEO
T H I S
Here we go
I'm sooooo glad we met back then... The truth, at last! Thank you Robyn.
Who finds a Friend finds a Treasure
Robyn is love. Bless this woman!
I made time and listened to the audiobook - A SONG FOR YOU. Woow Robyn, thanks for finally telling you and Whitney's truth. It was worth spending 10 hours 24 minutes and 55 seconds listening. Her voice is so captivating and I could feel the connection, care, love, respect, dedication and protection she had for Whitney. So detailed and well captured and written. Well done Robyn. Each and everyone of us need a Robyn Crawford kind of friend in our life.
One of the most incredible tasteful books upon the Human Experience. Thank you Robyn for telling us your journey, and your chance encounter with one of the most historic singers and entertainers of all times. Everyone has a story to tell upon this life's journey and everything has a price towards the cost of it
Just finished reading Robyn Crawford’s newly released book.....honestly, it was a great read and I thoroughly enjoyed it ! ......I’m sorry to say, I still feel an enduring feeling of sadness about the life and time of Whitney’s short life . 🎶🎶🎶♥️♥️♥️
Yes, but I also think she must have been happy a lot of times as well. Whitney was magical when she performed, and I don’t think that’s something that can be faked in the way she did it. I wish I could have seen her live in person at least once, which I was able to do with the two other artists who I feel had and has a similar love for music and it shows when they perform.
What I find the most heartbreaking though is that her daughter Bobbi Kristina, her legacy to the world, beside the amazing songs she left us with, died at only 22 under similar circumstences as Whitney. If I was part of the Houston family or Bobby Brown I would feel tremendous guilt contributing to both their unnecessary early deaths.
I loved reading this book & will now purchase the audiobook. God bless & keep you Robyn Crawford. You have lifted her legacy unforgettably & magnificently. Warmest regards Marc
It took courage to write this book. I wish that Whitney would have been stronger and listened to her heart. The true fans would have embraced her choice.
So, am l the only one who has for a long while, believed that Bobby Brown was a victim ? So many lies and distortions by Whitney's family. Finally, the truth emerges. How refreshing.
I never believed BB was a victim but a codependent. Bobby loved Whitney and Whitney loved Bobby but their marriage was toxic and dysfunctional Robyn brought balance to her friends marriage by keeping her in order ( Whitney's word ) throughout Whitney's and Robyn's friendship they developed a loving bond and everything else is history
@@denisegriffin4343 ...l like your perspective Denise. How well l know that being in love, does not always translate to happily ever after.😂😥😅
You are not alone. We ALL have our flaws and demons. Sometimes those biggest are the people with whom we have the most love for ESPECIALLY when outside influence (multiply Whitney, Robyn & Bobby's by literally the world population)!! It's beautiful to see both Robyn & Bobby happy and most of all healthy all these years later. Sadly Whitney as strong willed as she was could not be "loved enough" by herself 1st as much as she was by the 2 of them and serum to being her own worst addictions.
As a addict in recovery 10+ years I mourn all my brothers and sisters who weren't yet able to break that chain before it robbed her, Bobbi Kris and all who she touched. She will be missed forever.
THE ULTIMATE FRIENDSHIP WITH AGAPE LOVE ...UNIQUELY AND WONDERFULLY MADE .THIS IS THE MOST CLASSY PERSPECTIVE OF ONES UNIQUE ,MOST BEAUTIFUL LIFE EXPERIENCES .
This is the only book I will buy about my favorite singer Whitney Houston. I feel with Robyn I will get an honest, unbiased, truthful yet heartbreaking insight into the beauty, genius and soul of Whitney. I still miss this woman. 😢
I just finished this 10 1/2 hour long masterpiece on Audible.
Every single word in this book is filled with true and genuine emotion and I loved every single second of it. Plus, Robyn’s smooth and soft voice narrating is the cherry on top of the cake.
I HIGHLY recommend this for everyone to read or listen to whether you’re a Whitney fan or not. ❤️
I actually read the book but could listen and hear the story all over again. ❤️
Thank you Robyn! Sharing your story means everything.
Great that she finally decided to share her story with us,she was as close as anyone to Whitney,it must have been a tough decision for her,she has done this for the fans,she is the one person we wanted to hear from forever,thankyou....Whitney Was The Greatest!!
I love her voice!!! So soothing and confident. I must admit, my view of her was all wrong before doing further research on her. Although I still approach this book with caution, she seems like a very sweet and laid back person.
Robyn’s voice is SO soothing. I bought the book,but I could definitely sit & listen to her reading it all day too 🥹🥹👌🏽
Glad someone documented the rise and fall of a Bronze Superstar...Whitney's emergence opened up the door to a world of multi complexioned mesmerizing Black women...thanks ROBYN ....
I can't stop listening to Robyn Crawford and I ordered this book. I also believe what she says!
Robyn was a true friend. So sad Whitney couldn't break the addiction but she did her work and moved on up.
I read Cissy Houston's and Bobby Brown's book also
FANTASTIC ROBYN.
YOU ARE WEASON.
❤❤👄👄🎙🎤🎧
Sweet i wish Whitney would have stayed with Robyn
Child please Whitney wasn't gay. She loved Bobby.
Sunshine correction she grew to love Bobby ... but wanted to fully love Robyn it was forbidden 🚫
@EDEN ETIENNE Whitney was bi if anything. Whitney loved men and had many relationships. She just couldn't fully explore her attraction to women because of her church upbringing and not being accepted. Whitney ended her physical relationship with Robyn before she was famous because she knew that what she and Robyn shared wouldn't be good if ppl knew especially back then when being gay was considered taboo. Bobby was initially the side dude. Whitney was still messing with Eddie Murphy at the time. That's hilarious because Janet Jackson kept him on the side and chose her then-but-not-yet-second husband Rene Elizondo over him. No wonder he was on drugs. He was always came in second place 😂😂
Mee too x
Sunshine
You are an expert on who Whitney loved
You knew her personally
What a woman!!!! ❤️
Nie wiadomo co by było gdyby.... Czytałam te książkę i wydaje mi się najbardziej wiarygodna w porównaniu z i innymi. Jestem też przekonana że Robyn była jej przyjaciółka a rodzina traktowała Whitney jak bankomat. Życie nikogo nie jest idealne jedni radzą sobie z bólem lepiej inni nie, każdy ma prawo odreagować na swój sposób. Jej życie prywatne dalekie od idylli z Bobi Brownem uplywalo wśród awantur i przemocy ale myślę że będziemy pamietac nie tragedię ale niesamowity głos Whitney. Whitney Elizabeth Houston była zjawiskiem, jedna z największych wokalistek w historii muzyki, obdarzona fenomenalnym, potężnym i przeszywającym uszy głosem. ❤❤❤
The number 7 means a lot to her
No matter who writes about Whitney Houston..she was and will always be a child of the living God. She truly loved God and was a representation of a Kingdom builder. She was filled with the holy spirit and I know she understands the word of God. Be ye therefore holy and present your bodies a living sacrifice. Jesus is soon to return for his church. People don't get distracted by things on this earth because it will surely corrupt..but store up treasures in heaven. No man no the time nor the hour when the Son of Man shall part the skies. Saint get your house in order. We all shall have to give an account to what we have done on this earth. Be ye ready! I pray for the souls of Gods people we shall not die of ignorance but shall have everlasting life! Amen
Love it!!!
#wantmore

Soulmates xOOOO
Onde comprar este livro em portugues ou Espanhol ?
People are really pushing this book !!!
Where can I listen to the rest ?
Ho letto il libro. L'ho trovato molto interessante e scritto con il cuore, lo ricomprerei e lo rileggerò. Non credo sinceramente che tu potessi fare tanto di più e di meglio per aiutarla. Ti segnalo però un errore "storico" in quanto l'episodio avvenuto a Capri non fu in occasione del viaggio di nozze subito dopo il matrimonio, ma risale al luglio 1997, su google trovi ancora la notizia come era stata data dai giornali italiani. Pare che Whitney avesse raccontato ai medici di essersi ferita sugli scogli, mentre un membro dell'equipaggio sosteneva che l'incidente fosse avvenuto a bordo dello yacht.
Wow, pensavo di essere l'unica italiana ad averlo letto. Sono rimasta colpita nello scoprire che la dipendenza dalla droga è iniziata molto presto, già a 14 anni. Su questo Bobby brown era davvero "innocente". Una storia davvero tristissima, comunque.
@@nonloso575 effettivamente è strano, perché comunque frequentava la chiesa dove ben presto divenne una stellina nel coro, stavano bene di famiglia...da noi in una situazione così certamente non cominci a quell'età...non sembrava dover averne bisogno, almeno all'inizio....però è anche vero che i fratelli lo facevano, e alla grande...e magari chissà quanti altri poi appena entrata nel mondo della musica. si, una storia veramente triste, e comunque a me la storia della vasca da bagno mi ha sempre convinto molto poco....
I'm interested.

Where's the rest??
wastin time Look in the notes at the top. It gives full access to the audio book for free.
Thank you
eclecticsunrise thank you so much.
Oh no. The rest
Why is everyone making money from her death? All of the things that we are hearing are one-sided. I mean all of the things are one-sided. Whitney is gone. So, we just have people's perception of how things were and how she felted about them. Why are they speaking now since her side is silent and will be silent forever. The bottom line is everyone is profiting from her death. So sad😢.
Sharon Powell Robyn explains why she wrote it literally in the first 5 mins. It’s not hard to comprehend ....
@@foreverxo8693thank you!!!
Is it more to this book

@@eclecticsunrise thank you 💞
She reaching for a movie now. This is not Love. Do not be fooled. The Devil rises up his people. They are easy to spot.
You sound dumb as hell. You bigoted religious folks are a trip
Robyn - great book - but I do not in any way believe that you listened to Whitney talk @ being with Bobby and other men...no way, you would have been pissed to hear and Whitney would have been nervous to tell you...I’m sorry that you and Whitney weren’t able to just fully be yourselves ... you two would have eventually grown up and been able to be happy and healthy together...I’m sad for both of you and for us...you and we ended up losing Whitney far too soon...
Whitney not here to say yes or no. No wonder Whitney dead. No loyal people in her life it seems. She must need money and 15 minutes of fame.
Yes or no to what? Yall be acting like she got accused of murder. Robyn and Whitney’s relationship has been a know fact for decades. Whitney even had to pay off her publicist because she told the media about those two.
Why now when Whitney is death???Why now you wrote this ???If you loved her you never wrote this...love is love but you love money....Whitney is not here to tell her story.
If she did it when Whitney was alive yall would have a problem with that too. Can’t please everyone
