Whitney Houston's music was a big part of my adolescence and The Greatest Love of All and The Bodyguard were some of the first CDs I ever bought. I'm sure my parents (and sisters) prayed for the day I'd stop belting out "I Will Always Love You" in my bedroom! She led a tragic life over the last decade and wasted an amazing talent, but it seemed as though she may have turned things around. I give Clive Davis so much credit for his dedication to her throughout her troubles, and wish that things had turned out differently for her.
But...she's gone.
The Prince of Egypt came out when I was a senior in high school. For my birthday my parents took my sisters and me to see it at the theater. "When You Believe" is a duet with Mariah Carey and Whitney Houston from the movie. My vocal jazz group also performed this song! It brings back good memories. And I still remember all the lyrics!!
My heart is sad for her as well. I've been sending up prayers towards Heaven for her!
