Thread Name: Obit: Whitney Houston dead at 48 (1963-2012)
Subject: RE: Obit: Whitney Houston dead at 48
I grew up in the 40s and 50s when radio played all genres...Had it not been for this, the entire "folk revival" of the 60s would have never gained the early and large following that it did..In the 60s folk music was a broad umbrella...It truly saddens me that over the last few decades, that umbrella has shrunk, both to the determent of "folk" music and the fans, as well..Whitney Houston was a great singer and she will be missed....I consider myself among the "folks" who loved her music, and mourn the fact that she never got to truly enjoy her success as much as many of us got to enjoy her singing....Rest in peace Whitney.....Perhaps you will find in eternity, what you were unable to find here......
