Witney Houston Another Black Saint gone, but not forgotten & Here in Her Music.....

Whitney Houston is dead. We have to face it. She lives on in Her music & as a Black Saint-Spirit through the voices of all who She inspired & She lives on through Her own voice.  She lived a hard life, but She found time to LOVe, laugh, & listen. It will possibly take a million years before we have another Black talent of Her virility, vitality and inner-Spirited diversity. She danced, sang, and acted with an incredible caliber of excellence. She gave Her all, but She didn't have to leave us so soon.


Much of Her difficulty came in the way She was managed as a talent. Clive Davis is mostly credited with having discovered Her. Unfortunately he didn't know quite what to do with Her. Instead of coddling & making a protected existence for Her, he made sure to get every dime out of Her like the foolish men who took the life of the Goose who laid the Golden eggs. Sister Houston should have had plenty of rest, plenty of sleep, plenty of vitamins, plenty of Black history and wisdom to listen to, plenty of wholesome food like whole grains, wheat barley, wheat germ, wheat bread, fruits, vegetables, tofu, wheat gluten, tempet, wild rice, salads, brown rices & wild rices, naturally unsweetened juices & delicious desserts prepared by a chef who knew what She was doing. She should have had the time for Her family & time to heal from the stress & strain brought on by a tight concert & movie-making schedule that should hot have been so tight. She should have been surrounded by People who LOVed & Respected Her. She should have had more positive & challenging movie and film roles and been given privy to leadership production roles as well. She should have been protected by People who wanted only the best for Her. She should have had no access to illegal drugs. She should have had therapy with a trained & qualified psychiatrist if She needed it. She should have never been told psycho therapy is for ``crazy'' people. We as Black African, Black African American,  Black Caribbean, & Black Diaspora business People, male and female [or perhaps even transgendered Black People] should have never allowed what happened to Whitney Huston, happen to Her. We failed Her. I won't go into what I think of Clive Davis. But there needs to be a Black talent Agency & Black talent managers who create a broad, bold & Loving safe environment for Black talent, instead of exploit them. Perhaps there needs to be even more than one such agency and they don't need to be fronted by White money or White People. We have the wherewithal right in our communities to create such agencies when we get to being real and stop the foolishness. This is our responsibility as Black People....
