I lost my dad at 20, so I can relate a little bit to what Whitney Houston’s daughter\u00c2\u00a0 Bobbi Kristina \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcKrissi\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 Brown must be going through right now. Wow.<\/p>\n

I’ve never met her, or her folks, but I can’t stop thinking about all my own stuff because of this. It took me a decade and a half before I even began to start feeling right again after all that.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, here’s a reprint from my Facebook page that I thought deserved a wider “audience.” Cheers, marco.<\/p>\n

First time I ever heard of Whitney Houston (RIP) was when I had a gig at a place called Mystic Oral School which got some kids ready for Gaulludet University in DC, known as the deaf college. I was only 17 or so myself. They also tended to\u00c2\u00a0kids with autism and other “special needs.” We were hired there to headline an all-school dance.<\/p>\n

Before we played was a dj who was running a singalong and this song “Greatest Love Of All<\/strong>” by Whitney was presented by almost every girl and several of the guys in the course of a couple hours. Most of the band split after sound-check to get ready for the show but I stayed to watch many of the performances. I’d never heard this song before that night but it brought shivers up my spine when some of these kids sang this song!<\/p>\n

And to think Clive Davis tried to talk Whitney out of adding this song to her rekkid. I’m sure the George Benson version before her was a fine tune, but it would’ve slept at the middle of the charts and went away probably had Whitney not championed this song. Wow. Makes you think.<\/p>\n
