Whitney

In shock and disbelief about the death of Whitney Houston. I think this is my first time feeling devastated after hearing someone famous pass away.

The earliest memory I have of ever listening to any artist's record was Whitney Houston's 'Whitney' that my Dad owned. I remember taking the cassette tape from my Dad's car and listening to it non-stop, rewinding and replaying my favorite songs. It's sad to know that there will never be any more songs from the singer I loved and grew up with.

My absolute favorite song from that record was 'I Wanna Dance With Somebody' which is still in my iPod to this day. Just listening to it always puts me in a happy, upbeat mood. I love the video for how fresh and cute Whitney is, the vibrant colors and full-on glory of the 80's.

Rest in peace...
