Presented in conjunction with the Houston family, the collection features diverse artifacts as well as rare photographs and footage, and includes dozens of items from the private collection of the Houston family. "Whitney!" will be on display in The GRAMMY Museum's(R) Special Exhibits Gallery through February 2013.

Houston was one of the biggest pop stars - male or female - of all time, selling a combined 170 million albums, songs and videos, and garnering six GRAMMY and two Emmy Awards, among countless other awards and accolades. She graced the GRAMMY(R) stage eight times over the years - one of a few artists to have had the distinction of performing the most times on the annual broadcast. Most recently, she appeared as a presenter at the 51st Annual GRAMMY(R) Awards in 2009 (ultimately presenting Jennifer Hudson with her first GRAMMY(R) Award, for Best R&B Album).

WE WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU: A GRAMMY(R) SALUTE TO WHITNEY HOUSTON is produced by AEG Ehrlich Ventures, LLC. Ken Ehrlich is the executive producer. Louis J. Horvitz is director. Clive Davis, Tom Corson, and Kevin Beisler are producers.
