People die everyday unnoticed, but few pass who have had such a global reach and impact on the lives of so many people at once. Such was the affect legendary singer Whitney Houston had on several generations of people. No female vocalist held as many records as this incredible vocalist, from the number of albums sold, the number of #1 hits generated, and of course her incredibly visible fall from grace to her comeback.
In light of the death of legendary singer and actress Whitney Houston, I got to thinking about how many songs were favorites of mine from this incredible vocalist from a time before autotune and purely studio bands. You know, back when singers actually had to be able to sing! And so here it is below.
