Whitney Houston: Loss of a Once In a Generation Talent

By Christyo8 @CTDESIGNSINC
This past weekend unfortunately saw the passing of yet another music legend. Whitney Houston was found unresponsive in the Beverly Hilton Hotel in LA on Saturday. She was there to attend the pre-Grammy awards party given annually by her mentor Clive Davis. Houston was only 48 years old.
Gone way too soon, myself and my peers have marveled and reminisced on Whitney's music and how it became the soundtrack of our youth. If voices are considered violins, then Houston's was a Stradivarian... With the ability to belt out songs in multiple registers while holding unbelievably long notes, it was not long at all before Whitney became a household name, with an immediately recognizable sound.

I was fourteen years old when Whitney Houston burst onto the scene in 1985 and to hear this absolutely angelic voice was, and still is such a treat. Just, danceable, singable and beautifully written ballads that I surprisingly still know all of the words to have been played all weekend.

While mourning the popular songstress, I selected some songs that you might consider using for your wedding. How nice would it be if there is a resurgence of Whitney's music played at weddings this season? Think about some of these timeless ballads.


"I Will Always Love You"
"One Moment In Time"
"I Believe In You and Me"
"You Give Good Love"


Enjoy the the music and in closing, I'd like to also share Whitney's soul-stirring rendition of the Star Spangled Banner for Super Bowl XXVI. This became somewhat of a signature piece of hers and there aren't too many that are unfamiliar with this seemingly effortless tribute to our country. Take care til' next time and R.I.P. Whitney. Your music brought joy to so many people. Thank you.--ct"Star Spangled Banner - 1991"
