Whitney Houston: The Voice, The Music, The Inspiration

The GRAMMY  Museum: LA has created an amazing venue -

The Clive Davis Theater, where a selected group of us had the pleasure
and honor of listening to the brilliant musicology of Narada Michael Walden.

The evening started off with a very sincere, warm welcome from Narada Michael Walden, who was being interviewed by Billboard Magazine's Senior Editor, Gail Mitchell.

You see, clearly the Music executive, power house, man with the Midas Touch, Clive Davis, founder of Arista Records, truly has a remarkable track record for bringing together brilliant, talent like the late, beautiful Whitney Houston, with the genius of Narada Michael Walden.

Clive Davis knew instinctively, that the God given skills, the love & the light of Narada Michael Walden would be needed to successfully write and produce Whitney Houston's debut album "How Will I Know". The music was composed by George Merrill and Shannon Rubicam.

When Narada Michael Walden stepped onto the scene, he altered the lyrics and produced it as an up-tempo dance song, adding flavor and the Bing!Bang!Boom! - making us all snap our fingers and get up and dance!

Everyone knows Whitney Houston as an American Iconic Beauty with a mellifluous voice.
She was (and always will be) Bobbi Kristina's Mother, Cissy Houston and John Russell Houston's daughter. We love you, Whitney Houston!

Then to top it all off, Narada Michael Walden  introduced us to a newly discovered talent -
Shelea Frazier, who blew us away with her tribute to Whitney Houston!

Did I tell you that that girl can sang!?
While Shelea Frazier was singing, Narada Michael Walden was on drums rockin' the house! There were so many people swaying to the beat and singing along with Shelea Frazier!
