"This Rumor Had Track Shoes."

What a beautiful interview Robyn Crawford gives here about her friend, Whitney Houston.  Add her to the list -- George Michael, Prince, Michael Jackson -- of those who got caught up in the drugs and drama, and physical work, and left us too soon.  

"Everything Whitney told me she would do, she did. And nothing stopped her..."

"We rode those vocals, and we rode her vocals 11 months out of one year.  Tour after tour. She stood flat footed under every pressure that there was, and she delivered.  And I'm here to raise that legacy up -- put it in her hands -- regardless of the behaviors that went on at that time with Bobby.  It was a distraction, and it made her, what I call, it kinda like littered her path... She had to make the excuses. I was disappointed about that. Because this was her moment, and she should have been able to have it, and they were wonderful moments, but she was always taking on something, and answering for someone else..."

"It brought in the clouds."
