Whitney Houston RIP

Whitney Houston died today at age of 48.  I wouldn’t go that far to say today the music died.  But it is a great loss of another American music talent.  It is a tragedy of her ignominious downfall in recent years due to drug abuse, which probably “did her in”.  (When the flower girl in My Fair Lady said “did her in”, the lady in the high society had no idea of what it means: “killed her”.)  During her interview with ABC’s Diane Sawyer in 2002, she said, “The biggest devil is me. I'm either my best friend or my worst enemy.”

Her music had a deep root in American soul and gospel music.  This is her “I Love the Lord”,

“I’ll Always Love You” is my all time favorite; we’ll always love you Whitney Houston, RIP (Rest in Peace),
