Great university marching bands have played tribute to Whitney Houston.
NC A&T
Jackson State University
Southern University
just to name a few are the marching bands that have played Whitney Houston's music. What does that tell ya huh? Whitney Houston is loved.
Marching bands have played "I Love The Lord", "I Wanna Dance With Somebody", "Saving All My Love for You", and other songs by Whitney Houston.
The bands have marched giving tribute to her. Their footsteps are like music in silence or should I say rest? We hear a group of musicians that do march, but we hear the instruments of brass, horns, & trumpets, & percussion. We can hear the sound of Whitney Houston. Just listen.

W-H-I! This has been a Whitney Houston Inspiration.
W-H-I-T Whitney Houston!
Thank you for listening to the Whitney Soul Podcast
Whitney Houston knew when she was on camera. She communicated in interviews like with Diane Sawyer and in a documentary like "Can I Be Me". Whitney had her reasons for saying the things she said the way she said them. She allowed us to see her in tears, see her tired, or see her stressed out. People only heard the word drugs from the media, but ignored the fact that she could have just been depressed as well. Something or somebody was bothering Whitney. You could see it in her expressions off and on in her career. What was bothering her might not have all been marriage problems. Could it have been something worse or someone else?
Whitney showed us on stage and in interviews that she loved her daughter and her husband too. We know that she loved the gospel and came from the church. Whitney carried the church to Hollywood. That made Whitney Houston very special. Sometimes it seemed as if she wasn't getting any credit because of the way she was treated. Why was she treated the way she was treated? Reverend Al Sharpton called Whitney Whitey. Why didn't he get her alone and talk with her like a reverend should have? People were saying that she wasn't black enough in music, but we all know that wasn't true. Why did they call her THE VOICE? Because she was great. For some reason, Whitney had to go through some ridiculous things. They booed her on the Soul Train Awards in the 80's. I remember that night and my mom saying, "Something is wrong for them to be booing Whitney Houston like that ..."
Did Whitney Houston know that she might some day die at an early age in her career? My mom who passed away paid close attention to her lyrics "Your Love Is My Love". She didn't understand why Whitney was singing a song like that. I'm thinking that Whitney might have been talking about herself and her daughter.
Whitney Houston communicated enough to let us know something was wrong in her career. I believe she wanted us to know that something was not right. I believe that her death should be investigated and her daughter's death some more. Nobody is satisfied with the story of how she died. Whitney Houston and her daughter had a strange death and they both were found dead in a bathtub.
W-H-I-T! Whit! Whitney Houston! There will never be another Whitney. There is only one Whitney Houston. It is said that a Hollywood star is worth more dead than alive. That should tell you right there that in Hollywood, you’re nothing but a product. But oh, Whitney was more than that to a lot of fans. If she could come back from the dead, we would see just how much she’s worth. She wouldn’t have to sing not one song.
Hollywood is so pitiful without Whitney to the point they had to make a fake Whitney. The hologram they made of her didn’t look much like her. There were some fans disappointed. With the technology we have today, I know that it could have been done better. In a hurry. All about entertainment and money.
Guess what, Clive Davis is doing a movie about Whitney Houston. Guess who they chose to play as Whitney? Naomi Ackie. That’s what I’ve read in the news so far. And she doesn’t look like Whitney Houston at all. I know the choice could have been better. Why not choose somebody that looks a lot like Whitney and someone new. Someone that has been through struggles in life like Whitney Houston that can act it out better than an actress.
Now, When I said that there won’t be another Whitney Houston, I did not mean that no one couldn’t imitate her. There are some tribute artists that can sing like Whitney and probably could play as her in a movie. There is a lot of singing and acting talent out there. It would be great to have a singer and actress to remind us of Whitney. However, God made only one Whitney Houston.
One Wish For Christmas is a beautiful song by Whitney Houston. I don't have a whole lot of words to write. There is one thing I wish, but it won't happen. It would take a miracle and prayers day and night. Some fasting too. Enjoy the video and have a Merry Christmas.
