Whitney Houston Goes To The Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame!

Whitney Houston gets inducted into greatness.

The iconic singer Whitney Houston tragically died in Los Angeles in 2012. Her death was very shocking to many. We here at Journal de la Reyna covered it as well as the deaths of her only daughter Bobbi Kristina Brown and her former boyfriend Nick Gordon.

These three lost their lives to apparent drug abuse.

Houston was attending the Grammy Awards after party with her longtime friend Clive Davis.

Houston appeared disheveled and erratic. However, she joined Kelly Price at The Beverly Hilton and preformed, "Jesus Love Me."

Two days later, she was found unconscious in the Suite 434. The law tried to revive Houston but she was pronounced dead from atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use. It was confirmed she died of an accidental drowning.

Her death shocked the nation.

It actually broke into national coverage.

Houston died at the age of 48. She left behind a legacy of entertainment. She was a songwriter, singer, actress and model.  She was cited as the most awarded female artist of all time by Guinness World Records and remains the best-selling music artists of all time with 200 million records sold worldwide.

Now in spirit, the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame is going to induct her as a music icon.

Whitney Houston is the greatest female vocalist of all time.

She along with The Notorious B.I.G. will be inducted along with Depeche Mode, The Doobie Brothers, Nine Inch Nails and T-Rex.

The entertainer's biggest achievement was the Dolly Parton cover "I Will Always Love You" which became an international hit. It was the single of the action/drama movie "The Bodyguard."

The annual induction ceremony will take place May 2 at the Public Auditorium in Cleveland, the city where the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame Museum is located. The Saturday show will be televised live on HBO for the first time.

Posthumous induction is nothing new to the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame. They have nominated entertainers in the music industry. They finally get their just dues.
