Whitney Houston, one of the greatest voices of our time who ruled the pop and R&B genres throughout the 80's and 90's, was pronounced dead on Saturday afternoon in Beverly Hills, California. She was 48-years-old. Houston had the power to transcend beyond musical genres and break many barriers throughout her career. Whether it was an up-tempo dance track or a romantic ballad, Houston always performed with effortless grace and showcased a voice that made us feel like she was singing just to us.

Chakan Khan’s 1970’s hit quickly became the pop anthem for female empowerment and self-confidence. At the age of 15, Houston sang backup for Khan’s single and in the 1990’s she revived the hit song for the multi-million dollar soundtrack The Bodyguard. Houston may have been the reigning queen of pop, but her lyrics also made us feel like royalty ourselves!
