Whitney Houston is dead at 48. I was shocked when I heard the news. No info on the cause of death yet.

It is so V sad.
Despite never achived her potential, she had one of best voices I have ever heard. -
Yes, very sad.
I don't know though. I think I'd argue that she did in fact reach her potential--"I Will Always Love You" had such an impact on modern culture at the time that she did "The Bodyguard". So beautiful, and still one of the greater love songs ever performed. IMHO, she did it far better than Dolly did.
She certainly had her demons, though, and if she did reach her potential, she was not able to sustain it. RIP, Whitney.

Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

This is a tough one. My daughter and I connected to her music when my daughter was very young. She was so talented, and had such class performing. Everyone knows her history, it's a sad story, of having to fast a lifestyle to live, and being to young to die. She was a victim of her own success and those she associated with. His lifestyle, it seems ruined her. She couldn't control it, it took control of her. She had everything, and gave it all away. Well, she's found peace now I hope. But it was far to fast to loose such an icon.Doug

I would say she did reach her potential, it's just that she had a lot more in the tank but booze and drugs played hell with her pipes . Very sad. When she sings I Will Always Love You I get chills up my spine.
RIP dear lady.Comment

Today is the birthday of American jazz legend Billie Holiday, born Eleanora Fagan in Philadelphia (1915).

She's red headed, fair skinned, beautiful, and talented, and Julliard trained. Al Pacino once requested her for a part in a play he was doing, after she was recommended by someone, and she was on her way... She thinks she's a wallflower, likes to blend in a room, not stand out. That has to be pretty... -
I don't know the name of this film right off. But let's start with the fact it is based on a true story.
So, spoiler alert if anybody wants to watch a movie like this, not knowing the name, it involved hiking, a young couple, and on/off course day and night time hiking and camping. Stop... -
I'm always on the lookout for interesting new music, but it's not very often I find an accomplished artist with as deep a repetoire as Jonatha Brooke, that somehow I've never stumbled across.
A friend from Missouri out here on business brought one of her early CD's "Grace in Gravity"... -
