RIP Whitney Houston

[sprite75]

From ABC News

Whitney Houston, who reigned as pop music's queen until her majestic voice and regal image were ravaged by drug use, erratic behavior and a tumultuous marriage to singer Bobby Brown, has died. She was 48.

Publicist Kristen Foster said Saturday that the singer had died, but the cause and the location of her death were unknown.

At her peak, Houston the golden girl of the music industry. From the middle 1980s to the late 1990s, she was one of the world's best-selling artists. She wowed audiences with effortless, powerful, and peerless vocals that were rooted in the black church but made palatable to the masses with a pop sheen.

Her success carried her beyond music to movies, where she starred in hits like "The Bodyguard" and "Waiting to Exhale."

Terrible, sad, news.

[Mr. DS]

She honestly back in the day had one of the most pure voices of all time.  Then it all went colapsing down.  RIP and thanks for the music while it lasted.

Damn.   
I don't know of any singer whose voice comes close to Whitney's.  In her prime, she was untouchable.
