The unexpected news of Whitney Houston’s passing on Saturday sent shockwaves through the world. At just 48, she still had decades of great music ahead of her, and was set for a comeback with a starring role in the remake of the film Sparkle and a new album in the works.
We can only imagine the songs her incredible mezzo-soprano voice will no longer have the opportunity to bring to life, but we can celebrate the fact that she left us with some of the most memorable songs of the 80s and 90s:
Where Do Broken Hearts Go
The fourth single released on her second album, Whitney, in February 1988, was her seventh consecutive number one single on the Billboard charts.
Exhale
Recorded for the soundtrack to the film she also starred in — Waiting To Exhale — this song hit number one on the charts and helped the soundtrack earn a spot as one of the 100 Best Movie Soundtracks of all time in Entertainment Weekly.
