The Voice at 60: On Whitney Houston’s Immortal Instrument
Entertainment Weekly (2023). Houston would have been 60 years old today, Aug. 9. Of course, she's no longer with us and while I, and many others, feel her absence everyday, her voice — that magnificent voice — still elicits joy.
Why the Most Riveting Scene in Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance with Somebody Is a Medley from 1994
TIME (2022). Whitney Houston: I Wanna Dance With Somebody, the new biopic from filmmaker Kasi Lemmons, is filled with recreations of the singer’s iconic performances—like her 1991 rendition of the national anthem at the Super Bowl.
