I wasn't into Houston's music. But I remember vividly her songs "Saving All My Love", "How Will I Know" and "Greatest Love of All" getting lots of airplay. I remember her rendition of the "Star Spangled Banner" at Super Bowl XXV. Houston, the cousin of Motown star Dionne Warwick, is the only artist ever with 7 consecutive #1 singles.
She also had leading roles in "The Bodyguard" and "Waiting To Exhale".
Houston married R & B artist Bobby Brown in the early 90s. Houston struggled with substance abuse. That said, we don't know what the cause of death is, so I say we wait until more details come out.
RIP Whitney Houston.
