RIP Whitney Houston

I was so sad and shocked to hear about Whitney Houston this morning.  Watching a tribute on 4Music has reminded me just how many great songs she did and what a wonderful voice she had.  It brings back so many memories of my childhood and it's made me feel so emotional.

It's also shocking to see her decline over the web and to see how much her battle with drugs had damaged her voice and her looks.  In her day, she truly was an angel.  Over the years, from Judy Garland to Amy Winehouse, we've lost so many greats over the years.  I've listened to people say how they watched Whitney's decline and it made me think 'Well why the hell didn't you do something about it?'

I know people have to want to be helped and want to change, no-one else can make them but when are we going to start giving more help to people like this and the everyday people on the street?
