Whitney Houston burst onto the music scene in 1986, scoring # 1 hits with “Saving All My Love for You”, “Thinking About You” and “Greatest Love of All,” and WHITNEY HOUSTON was that year’s top-selling LP. The next year she scored a mega-hit with her single I WANNA LOVE SOMEBOY. Success after success propelled Whitney into the stratosphere of fame, but the angel fell to earth with her marriage to singer Bobbie Brown. Drugs ravaged her voice throughout the 00s and she fought hard to regain her voice over the past few years. A return to her previous form appeared on the horizon and she traveled to LA to take part in the Grammy Awards.
Yesterday she was found dead in her Beverly Hills Hilton hotel room.
The cause of her death unknown.
Fans and fellow musicians are shocked by her passing. Clive Davis her svengali told a celebrity audience at his Grammy party, “I do have a heavy heart, and I am personally devastated by someone so close to me for so many years.”
She was so beautiful in so many ways and that beauty will live in her music.
