Her voice shaped R&B and was the sound of my childhood right up until adulthood.

A sad Goodbye to a tortured legend.

RIP Ms Houston

[Flash Harry]

Bobby Brown.

Say no more.

[Migs]

I must say, I am certainly not surprised but nor am I particularly saddened by this.

She (yes, with the able assistance of Bobby Brown) threw away an incredible talent.

As osckilo, was a childhood dream for me too, too bad to listen how she's gone, alone in a hotel. not the first one, of course... too sad, may she rest in peace.

Another remarkable talent gone to waste, somewhat predictable I feel...............Willie

[Speed Demon]

Another tragic loss.

My only question is; didn't anyone in her family see this coming?
This death spiral took 48 years.

I experienced a most painful time in my life watching a similar event take place, involving the wife of
a close friend. All the signs were there. Even the forlorn cries for help that no one payed real attention to.
I spoke with her only a few hours before she put her husband's hunting rifle in her mouth.
19 years of age.

Another tragic loss.
