Really? Her husband Bobby Brown was a big time coke user, and got her hooked on it. Marrying him was her downfall. RIP.

Yep, it's true: I had no idea Whitney was struggling with drug addiction. I just don't follow the lives of celebrities, I guess, and I never did like Whitney Houston's style of music, although I felt she was very attractive and a gifted singer.

I didn't know she was married to Bobby Brown!

(And I don't really remember who Bobby Brown is either, other than some singer )

Well, it's not that I followed the lives of celebrities but I guess I did watch a lot of television in the 80s and 90s. She and Bobby Brown (who was a member of Boys II Men, an enormously popular R&B group from the late 80s) got together and became notorious for their drug use and subsequent legal troubles. They became a well-known cultural joke.

Here's an example: a sketch from MAD TV aired sometime in the 90s..



I don't care about that part of her past though, and I don't care about that 'I-E-I Will Always Love You' song.
I'll remember her as someone who wants to dance with somebody who loves her.

Bobby Brown was in New Edition, not Boys II Men.

they're not so much R n B, but more like a black version of New Kids on the Block

Oops, I knew that. My mistake. And perhaps they (and Boys II Men) were a boy band like the New Kids but I still think they were legit R&B. At least by 80s standards.

Not only were New Edition like NKOTB, they were from the same city and assembled by the same guy, Maurice Starr.
