48? That’s a full life of living converted into Bobby Brown years. Her passing is sad. Kevin nice write up. I think you are so on the mark. There will never be another Whitney Houston. May she rest in peace. Lord knows she deserves it.

It may interest people to know that Whitney was persuaded to do “I Will Always Love You” when either Kevin Costner, her co-star in THE BODYGUARD, or possibly that film’s music supervisor, gave her Linda Ronstadt’s 1975 recording of it to listen to as a template. She was supposedly sold on the song because of Linda’s version.

Another country connection (of the Christian country variety): Whitney was a fan, I recall, of Dottie Rambo, and included “I Go to the Rock” on one of her albums. Dottie was one of Nashville’s best songwriters.

“How Will I Know” is my happy song. Love it.

I liked “Million Dollar Bill” too. Also enjoyed “I Wanna Dance with Somebody.”

Her mother is still living and she leaves a daughter. Very sad. I guess she’s best known for other songs, but whenever I would hear her name “How Would I Know” would immediately pop into my brain.

Oh, and I should have mentioned one of her recent records that I really enjoyed off the last album was “Million Dollar Bill”.

Whitney Houston was so talented and her death is so sad. She made some great music.

This post honors Houston’s memory in one of the best possible ways by shining the spotlight on her music, and encouraging the unfamiliar to discover it for themselves. Fantastic work, Kevin.
