Whitney Houston was a complex figure. She had huge success and then plummeted quickly and deeply. She was hugely popular, and extremely talented. She was dogged by the press, and often became a caricature of herself. A victim of addiction, it’s hard not to think of the recent death of fellow diva Amy Winehouse. Houston was a huge force in the music world. She won 2 Emmys, 3 Grammys, and 30 Billboard Music Awards. We don’t yet know the cause of death, but she was was too young at only 49. Her death is sad and unexpected.
I was really touched by this sweet little cover of Houston’s hit song, “How Will I Know” by guitarist and singer Nicki Bluhm. Hopefully you will be too.
