Mr G worked with her about 20 years ago. That was pre drug usage, or just at the beginning of it. She was truly spectacular.
He said she was a comet..... full of fire and beauty, and burned out quickly.
I saw her at Sweetwaters above Hells Kitchen in 1983 I think...very young and cute..nice pipes...a showcase performance before she even took off on MTV
she sure did look or act like a druggie type then
We will alway love you, Whitney....always.

RIP dear heart.
Very sad.
Hollyweird.
It was during the first Gulf War in 1991. She sang one of the great renditions ever of our National Anthem at the Super Bowl = http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1QmeEdFOSc
RIP
No body had anymore chances to get her life straight than Whitney Houston. Yes she was talented, had a great voice and was a phenomenal talent. However, in the end, she was a crack head.
She CHOSE crack over her family, her daughter, her career, her fans and her life. Why she is being idolized is beyond me.
Next
What a waste! All that beauty and talent. Reminds me of Judy Garland’s fate.
Whitney Houston had such a clear and powerful voice with such range.
I will never forget that Super Bowl rendition of The Star Spangled Banner. It was inspirational!
I was in a big room with many people watching that performance.
She sang and people jumped up and started major applause.
Her later years were such a waste and the dope ruined her voice. But her beautiful voice will always be remembered.
RIP
Checked on Dionne Warwick’s biography (age 71) - she’s NOT Whitney’s aunt (as I had always believed) she is her cousin.
From Wiki:
(who is the mother of Warwick’s cousin, Whitney Houston).
