Whitney

In 1987, I took my daughters (10 and 13) to see Whitney Houston in concert.  She was 23 and so stunningly beautiful.  Her big hit at that time was All At Once and I still remember having chills when she hit the high notes.  Kenny G was the opening act for the concert.

I'm sorry for all the sadness she endured later in her life and sad that we lost her so early.  There will never be another voice like hers.

Whitney  recently finished the movie, Sparkle, in which she plays Jordin Spark's mother.  Jordin was the winner on American Idol a few years back.   I saw Jordin recently on one of the late night shows and she talked about what an unbelievable experience it was to work with Whitney.  The movie will be released in August.

  2. Its sad that she was so tortured with addiction. I have never heard another voice as strong and as beautiful as hers. It was such a gift.

  3. This is a terrible loss and I'm glad you devoted this post to her. Not only was she beautiful, her voice was incredible. This is so very sad.

  4. Whitney Houston had one of the greatest voices of all time. It's so confusing to see someone with beauty, riches, fame and huge talent toss it all away for the feeble high of drugs and booze. It happens to many famous folk and you just scratch your head in disbelief at the waste of it all.
