Whitney Houston in the company of Count Basie and Frank Sinatra

By Rick Busciglio, Swing and Big Band Examiner

As a New Jerseyan and a fan of Whitney Houston let me note her passing. It's difficult to believe that at the age of only 48 this great voice has been silenced. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie may have expressed it best, "Her terribly premature death is an awful loss for her family and the incredible New Jersey musical family. Her soaring talent put her in the pantheon of great New Jersey musical talents like Frank Sinatra, Count Basie and Bruce Springsteen. Our prayers are with her family."

Houston was born in Newark (as was this writer) and her funeral will be conducted in Newark, in fact, it is to be held in the Prudential Center Arena "The Rock." on Friday. Houston was to appear last week in the Staples Arena in Los Angeles, a date she never kept....now she makes a final appearance in another 18,000 seat venue.

Houston was cited in the Guinness World Records in 2009 as the most-awarded female artist of all time. Among the 415 career awards she won were two Emmy Awards, six Grammy Awards, 30 Billboard Music Awards, and 22 American Music Awards. Some of her best known hits include: "How Will I Know," "Saving All My Love for You" and "I Will Always Love You."

Houston, whose career peaked in the 1980s and the 1990s, suffered from drug abuse and her career declined dramatically following years of success and number 1 hits.

One of her greatest moments was her singing of the National Anthem at the 1991 Super Bowl. Watch the video. No one has done it better.
