Whitney Houston To Be Buried In New Jersey Ceremony

Whitney Elizabeth Houston was born August 9 1963 and died February 12, 2012 was an American pop and R&B singer. She was known for her beautiful and powerful voice. She was known for songs such as 'I Will Always Love You' and 'I Wanna Dance with Somebody (Who Loves Me)'. This made her the only artist in history to turn the American national anthem into a successful single. She was one of the most successful female artists of all time. Her most famous albums were 'The Bodyguard' (The best selling soundtrack album of all time), her debut album 'Whitney Houston' (The best selling debut album of all time) and the album 'Whitney'. She was dubbed as "The Voice". Whitney Houston also starred in the Preacher's Wife. Over the past few years before her death, Houston had problems with drugs.
NEWARK, N.J. (AP) – After all the testimonials from relatives and friends, the songs from legends and pop stars, the preaching and even laughter, the raw emotion of Whitney Houston’s funeral came down to just one moment: The sound of her own voice.
As the strains of her biggest record, “I Will Always Love You,” filled the New Hope Baptist Church at the end of the nearly four-hour service Saturday and her silver-and-gold casket was lifted in the air, the weight of the moment was too much for mother, gospel singer Cissy Houston, to bear.
