Whitney Houston 1963-2012

It feels so unfair when some of the greatest talents a generation has known leave us all too early. You can't help but feel robbed of all the amazing music that could have been. And in a way that's kind of selfish, and maybe some people have hard time dealing with the selfish ways of pop music fame. It would be foolish to try and explain as if we knew the issues Whitney Houston faced in her day to day life. What I can comment on though, is the shear talent enveloped in the beautiful women that was Whitney Houston.
In a way it's no surprise Whitney became the superstar she did when you think about the women in her family. Her mother Cissy, a singer herself and cousins Dee Dee and Dionne Warwick, as well as Aretha Franklin, her god mother! Singing in churches as a youth, Whitney had no shortage of inspiration.
And that inspiration led her to an amazing career. Instead of rambling on about the loss we all shared this weekend, I'll just share some of her best work-nick
