Whitney Houston
Feb. 12th, 2012 04:31 pmWhitney Houston died yesterday at 48. She lived longer than Elvis by about six years. Misuse of prescription medication seems to the proximate cause here, too. The early reports also had her dying in the bathroom, but instead of being on the toilet (poor E.), she may have been in the tub, and she may have become unconscious and drowned. But it’s hazy.
I wasn’t a big fan. I was awed by her vocals, the power, but her song selection generally left me cold. I mostly click with the woman because of her one hit movie with Kevin Costner, “The Bodyguard”.
In these early reports, it was noted that she had not recorded anything in years because her drug use had rendered her voice “raspy and hoarse”. Elvis’s golden voice stayed with him until the very end. I had not realized that she had been so quiet on the musical scene. Like I said, I wasn’t much of a fan.
