Whitney Houston

One of the defining moments of American Pop Culture television history happened on June 23, 1983 when Clive Davis went on The Merv Griffin Show to introduce his latest discovery to America. The unknown teenager from Newark then sang a song from Broadway musical The Wiz called "Home" and brought down the house. It debuts at #10 on The Hot 100.
