R.I.P. Whitney Houston, Soul Pop Diva, Dead at 48

We were incredibly shocked to hear this news. According to MSNBC and other outlets soul singer Whitney Houston died today of unknown causes. She has recently been spotted with R and B singer Ray J and it has been reported that she and Ray J were on their way to Clive Davis’ pre-Grammy party.   However, this rumor has been refuted by Ray J’s PR team.  Apparently, Bobby Brown was in Memphis with New Edition preparing for a show when he heard the news.  He and daughter Bobbi Christina are said to be crushed and not doing too well, which is understandable.

This is horrible news and we will keep you posted with details as we hear them. Rest in peace Whitney! Your voice and soul will be sorely missed. You changed Black music and the world with your gift.

Here are a few of the songs that made Whitney America’s sweetheart:

Whitney Houston – Saving All My Love For You

Whitney Houston – Dance with Somebody

More about the Stuyvesants:
“The Stuyvesants” is a collaborative effort between music producer Allan Cole (Algorythm), and record collector Darien Victor Birks (Flwrpt). Both reside in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, NY. The two wanted to work together on a project where they could incorporate several of their talents, related to music and design. They wanted to do this under a moniker that would pay homage to the ’70s. The collaboration allowed them to do four major things, design, beat dig, produce amazing music, and simply have fun.
