As today marks three years since Whitney Houston tragically died, I have compiled the greatest covers of he amazing music.
Sam Smith– How Will I Know
1965 : Simple as Do-Re-Mi: The Sound of Music soundtrack, featuring Julie Andrews, hits #1.
1969 : John Lennon purchases the island Dorinch off the Ireland coast and invites any hippie who wishes to live there.
1995 : MC Hammer plays a benefit concert in Moscow supporting the “Our Home Is Russia” party, who are facing opposition in upcoming elections from the Communist party. The communists claim that Hammer symbolizes the wealth disparity and vapid consumerism that Russia should avoid.
2012 : RCA Records releases a greatest hits album to commemorate the late Whitney Houston, who had passed away in February of 2012. The album, titled I Will Always Love You – The Best of Whitney Houston, includes all 11 of her #1 Billboard charting hits and most of her #1 hits on the R&B and Hip-Hop charts as well.
1937 : Cole Porter is involved in an horrific accident. While riding his horse at Locust Valley, New York, the animal falls and rolls over onto him crushing his legs. He will spend the rest of his life in constant pain.
1980 : The Guinness Book of World Records presents Paul McCartney with a special rhodium album for being the best-selling songwriter in the history of recorded music, having written 43 platinum songs and sold over 100 million records.
