Whitney Houston was quite a beautiful woman in the days before she got sucked into the Bobby Brown whirlpool of drugs and self-destruction.

Right you are. What an absolute shame to lose her at all, much les that way.

In the mid 80s, I thought Whitney Houston was one of the most beautiful women in the world... never seen a smile like that (tho my wife is close!)

First time she went on Letterman, I remember being mesmerized

Whitney was always a bit "poppy" for my tastes. But man, what a beautiful woman and voice. Always liked En Vogue. Good groove. Don't know about their individual personal agandas, but that's OK. Same with Sade. Ooohh la la!

And yes, they severely outclassed this current crop of nasty kids. Although far from perfect, the 80's and 90's were in general the best of times for race relations IMO. We were this close to gettin the mix done proper. Then along comes Obummer. d:^)
