Eclectic Edge Ensemble

Whitney Houston has ruled the pop charts for over a decade with songs that many of us have cranked to the max on our car ride home. She became an icon and many of her songs, including "How Will I Know" coincide so well with the sometimes confusing feelings of love that EEE investigates in its upcoming show Reeling Over Love.  Whitney Houston's untimely death is a tragedy for many including her millions of adoring fans.  Here, we'd like to pay tribute to the brilliant pop star and thank her for years of musical inspiration.

It was only later that she learned the news: Whitney Houston, a guest in the room below hers, had died.

Cause of death: Unclear.

Time pronounced: 3:55 p.m., February 11, 2012.

Age: A mere 48.

The shock and grief from fans worldwide was immediate: Houston's pipes and presence, her grit and glamour had made her an icon.
