About this audiobook
The New York Times Bestseller!
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 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.
Â
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.

This was amazing. finished it in basically a day. Whitney Houston was a special person with extraordinary circumstances and an unfortunate addiction. May she RIP and her music continue to inspire us. Thanks for telling your story!

✨💜Pure+Suprising+Funny+Sobering+Hard+Painful+Fair+Refreshing+Honest+Solid+Honorable+Loyal = T R U T H💕✨ Thank you Robin. For loving her. You,Sylvia,CeeCee and Kevin were the ONLY ones. Thank you for answering questions that should have never been asked of you nor Nip. It hurts to know she was without the love she needed so early in her life , and that she left it the sameway. I admire your integrity and courage of self sacrafice. YOU ARE HER TRUTH. I TRUST U.🙏💜🌹

I read "A song for you" by Robin Crawford. Robin did an amazing job telling us about her life with Whitney. I believe every word of it. They both were dynamic young woman who had a cosmic connection and smarts navigating in the entertainment business. Robin seems so cool and rational even at a young age. Thank you ROBIN for letting us know about you and the Real, lovely, talented, sweet, strong Incomparable WHITNEY HOUSTON. You honored your friend well dear. God bless you. She's resting well now.
