Believe it or not, Whitney Houston! :o

48 years old with a shed load of talent and wound up going the same way as so many other great performers.

FYI WH was never my bag so to speak but her vocals and song writing ability were superior to many of her generation.


I have the body of a 19 year old. I keep it in the fridge.......................

So sad.  She had the most amazing voice - her and Karen Carpenter had the best singing voices ever).  Went the same way as so many other talents though.  :(

Truly shocking.
