You really joined just for that?

Great voice, really talented. Sad times.

Shame she had to go and do it the week I go back to work.
Remind me to take my Ipod.

My heart goes out to her daughter.

Whitney Houston made a great impact in life.

If she wasn't before, Whitney Houston is definitely 100% soul now.

:laughing::clap:

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! :o:

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

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. :)

Bobby Brown was a member of New Edition, not Boyz II Men

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

Beat you. :p:

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.

no, they sang a sort of New Jack Swing lite

Like I said, it was the late 1980s.

Tell me about it. I couldn't get away from I Will Always Love You before her untimely and tragic death.

RIP Whitney. I remember that first album cover, such a beautiful lady and the voice of a songbird. Say hello to Etta for me.

...........

I only knew you briefly, but I knew you were a great comfort to my friend in both of your times of need. What happened to the both of you was cruel, and I'm sorry you have to leave us so soon.

I won't forget you.

RIP David Kelly

Irish character actor David Kelly dies | Herald Sun

I read that and said... oh crap.... David Kelly! and realised I had the name confused with David Kelley. Phew, what a relief that David Kelley is alright.

I had to Google David Kelley...........The name still isn't familiar

It is a total cheese film (pardon the pun regarding your name) but he lent a lot of gravitas to Mean Machine and stole the show.

He is best remembered in my mind for the builder in Fawlty Towers and the one armed waiter Albert Riddle in Robin's Nest

i was misinformed that it was David Patrick Kelly who died:-

David Kelley, creator of shows like Chicago Hope, Ally McBeal and some others....

Yeah I read that, but since i've never bothered with any of the shows mentioned his name means little to me

Oh, I hate his shows, I was just being sarcastic, as I would not care if he died at all.

David Patrick Kelly is great.

"The Warriors did it, it wasn't us........The Warrors did it":finger:

^^still one of my fave rumble flicks

Yer I love that film and so original for its time. One of the best scenes has to be when the Warriors came out of the subway and the camera panned in on the gang with baseball caps and bats.

The film I really love though of that kind of thing was the original Assault on Precinct 13.

^^i saw it a long time ago and my memory isn't that good of it

but i thought the Coney Island face-off is one of the best action sequences ever

BBC News - MC5 bassist Michael Davis dies aged 68

And then there were two.

Sucks :/

R.I.P. mate, will blast Kick Out the Jams in memory of him tonight.
