RIBS: We Remember Whitney Houston, R.I.P.
We lost Whitney Houston on Saturday, February 11, 2012. She was only 48 years old.
It’s always tough to hear of the passing of one of your favorite music artists. That’s when you realize how much a part of your life experiences they have been, the highs, the lows, the joys, the sorrows, the ecstasy, the agony. For many of us, Whitney was all that and more.
She burst onto the scene in the early 80’s like a shooting star, shining brightly in the night . The product of music “royalty”, her mother is singer Cissy Houston, her cousins are Dionne and Dee Dee Warwick, her godmother is Aretha Franklin, Whitney possessed beautiful looks and a fantastic voice that could do anything musically. It looked to us all like she would be with us forever and finally be the one to inherit the mantle of “Queen of Soul” once Aretha passed it along. Alas that was not meant to be.
This is just a quick compilation of some of Whitney’s ballads. With Valentine’s Day approaching I thought that it would be appropriate to spotlight some of her beautiful love songs that are so much a part of the soundtrack of our lives. It is by no means a comprehensive collection of material, you can probably expect a follow-up mix sometime in the future that will be a deeper more expansive look at her musical legacy.
Like that shooting star she lit up our nights, shining the bright light of her talent and beauty all over us. Alas, just like that same star, her light went out much too soon…

sweet, sweet, sweet
I’m burning yours, DJDiva’s and mine as presents for a friend. Her spirits will be lifted. J
Lovely Todd, it fits into my music collection directly following We Remember TeenaMarie ….another one gone too soon
I’ve never heard “Memories”. It’s haunting, like Marvin Gaye’s “Piece of Clay”. It echoes…
@Jolene: “Memories” is an early cut from the group Material that featured Whitney prior to the launch of her solo career. Same thing with the song “Eternal Love” by Paul Jabara. You know RIBS always likes to find those unknown and/or hidden gems and present them for your listening pleasure.
