    The best female solo singer of all time! I was in love with her music and got the first inspiration of singing from her. I remained with Chucks in his music studios at Olodi Apapa-Lagos looking out for Whitney's latest hits from time to time....Irene Abuja.

    It is a sad story but death respect no one. The road we all travel. Remember Princess Diana, she was only human. It is sad when some one pass. Ms. Houston was trying to make good, we do not know the whole story. My personal feeling is, some one should be around at all time, knowing her pass and danger lying there waiting. Something is just not adding up. Hope I am wrong! No matter what, she is only human and not to make mistake is to be in-human. May her soul rest in peace.
