Whitney Houston has ruled the pop charts for over a decade with songs that many of us have cranked to the max on our car ride home. She became an icon and many of her songs, including "How Will I Know" coincide so well with the sometimes confusing feelings of love that EEE investigates in its upcoming show Reeling Over Love. Whitney Houston's untimely death is a tragedy for many including her millions of adoring fans. Here, we'd like to pay tribute to the brilliant pop star and thank her for years of musical inspiration.
