| August 9, 1963 – February 11, 2012 |
That’s right; another legend of music is gone. Whitney
Houston died today at the age of 48. Oh this hit me hard in the heart, like a
car hitting a wall at full speed. I
remember growing up and not really being into Whitney’s music but respected her
as an artist, actress, and singer. Doesn’t matter what she was going through in
her personal life, doesn’t matter if people thought she was crazy or messed up
on drugs. What matters is that she lived a full life doing what she loved to do
and I hope I can even do half the things she’s done in life. This is truly a
big bucket of wind people.
Now for those who don’t know much about her here are a few details.
Whitney
Elizabeth Houston was born August 9, 1963 in Newark, New Jersey to John Russell
Houston, Jr. an Army serviceman and entertainment executive, and gospel singer
Cissy Houston. Whitney was the youngest of three children in her home In New
Jersey. Most people know her best by her music as she did put out records and
songs that would top the charts such as "I Will Always Love You”, from the
hit movie The Bodyguard which she also starred in. She also starred in Waiting to
Exhale, The Preacher's Wife, and the live action remake Disney movie Cinderella.
Whitney was also married to Bobby Brown from July 18th, 1992 to
April 24, 2007; she leaves behind one daughter by the name of Bobbi Kristina
Brown.
This year has lost a lot of people this year but this one
for me hits home. Not only is she from the north like I, but she helped me
discover music in many ways. Whitney, Miss Houston, thanks you for everything
you have giving us in this world. The good, the bad, the ugly, and the
wonderful; rest in peace.
