An African American History Moment
Whitney Houston – Singer, Entertainer Extraordinaire, Actress, Model and Producer was found dead in a Beverly Hills Hotel room.
Born August 9, 1963-February 11, 2012. Whitney Houston came from a musical family, her mother is Cissy Houston and Dionne Warwick is her cousin.
I could not believe the news about one of my favorite female recording artists Whitney Houston dies at 48. Every time I hear it and see it is just an unbelievable tragedy to take. Her cause of death is under investigation. I grew up listening to Whitney Houston and her music is a soundtrack of my life.
Whitney was scheduled to sing at a Grammy party planned for this evening (February 11, 2012) for legendary Clive Davis.
