Whitney Houston Dead at 48?!?!


I just receive the news that popular recording, Whitney Houston is dead. This is the day before the Grammys where the who is who in the music business assemble in Los Angeles, CA to celebrate themselves. 

The 48 year old recording artist who was the voice of her generation was married to music's former bad boy, Bobby Brown formerly of New Edition has one daughter named Bobbi Christina.  She is also the daughter of gospel artist Cissy Houston and cousin to fellow recording artist, Dionne Warwick. She has had some trying times due to drugs, and mental health issues, which affected her ability to perform, which caused her to leave the spotlight again, after a failed come back, lately after initially leaving the spotlight for some time.

She was recently trying to make her acting comeback, which was supposed to include a reunion with her African American female pals to make Getting To Happy, the sequel to Waiting To Exhale

However, all of that is gone now. Rest in peace Whitney.  

PS: As sad as the news of Whitney's death is, this is also a reminder to us all that death doesn't give anyone an appointment, it just comes when it comes. So please be wise with your time and make the best of your life when you can...
