Wow...Etta James, Don Corneilius and now Whitney!!! It pains me to have to write these things...It really does...We are just losing all of the great voices and icons of the music world. In my own selfish way...maybe yours too...I somehow counted on people like Luther Vandross, Michael Jackson, James Brown, Gerald Levert, Barry White ,Rick James, Teena Marie..et al always being around...to make great music and give my life some meaning.....But like me....They are just human and as I see...they all have an appointed time to come here and an appointed time to die.....Just as I do.
We all are guilty of laughing at a lot of Whitney's troubles during her last years.....The drug addiction, the train wreck of a marriage to singer Bobby Brown, the divorce, the reality show, et al.... But you know, beneath it all, I was rooting for Whitney....I wanted her to be great again and above the fray....I never thought that she didn't have time....
Perhaps that's the problem with all of us....We always think that we have time....We never realize how short that time may be. Look at me....Just ramblimg here.....I am still shocked and in a state of unbeleif (is that a word?) that she's gone......... I leave you here with a beautiful song she sung once...Not a hit, just an album cut...that I choose to always remember her by.

I still can't believe she's gone. I pray that she's found her peace.
Yes, we loved Whitney and her spectacular voice! No one sings the national anthem like she did. Every time there is a game and the singing starts I'll remember Whitney's arrangement. That and "One Moment in Time!" (Jon, Chadd and Jeff - with hand motions-lol!)
