Count me as one who is touched and saddened by this tragedy. There are very few singers whose voice can bring me to tears, but Whitney Houston was one of them. I remember crying at her rendition of the Star Spangled Banner before the superbowl in 1991 and I also cried two days ago upon hearing of her death. She was the same age as me (actually a year younger) and my heart goes out to her daughter. As her spectacular and very public fall from grace illustrates, addiction is truly an equal opportunity destroyer. RIP Whitney.....
