. >> joe levy is a contributing editor for "rolling stone" magazine. us. joe, let me start with you. whitney houston's musical gift sort of speaks for itself. 170 million albums sold. that's an astounding number. can -- can you pinpoint what some of her standout moments were over the course of her career? >> two moments people are mentioning so much right now. her "i will always love you" and the star spangled banner. i'm surprised how many people are talking about the star spangled banner. but those two moments mean so much for american and african-american pop music. these are songs, i will always love you is a country song, the other is the national anthem, these are moments when she claimed them for black pop tradition. and they were transformed in moments that speak to the dream of pop music in america itself. >> toure let me turn to you with that same question.

ji joe levy is here from rolling stone and "weekends of bellevue" author julie holland join us.e end, won't whitney houston be remembered as the amazing voice? >> sure. absolutely. you know, her struggles were her struggles. the only person she hurt and the only person we talk about her possibly having hurt is herself. so when we find out what happened, of course we'll remember the music. that's what a lot of us are focused on now. one of the greatest singers in popular music. certainly one of the greatest in the last 20, 30 years. someone who influenced so many singers from the next generation and established a way of singing. >> you know, it's hard to remember a time for a certain generation when there wasn't whitney houston on the scene. what did she bring to this industry? how did she transform it? >> well, you know, she established a way of approaching a song vocally. when you hear mariah carey, beyonce, jennifer hudson, anyone on "american idol" or talent shows take a vocal run where they are breaking up one syllable into many, many parts and playing with the melody, that'

we've been joined now by joe levy from rolling stone magazine.on how to sing. when you listen to mariah kara, christina aguilera, lady gaga, these are women who group listening to houston. she's a church singer but she's different than that. there's a different degree of control and presentation than a gospel singer, perhaps the greatest singer of all time, her godmother aretha franklin. when you listen to whitney, when you hear the control she brings to the sound, the phrases, breaks up words, puts in all of those runs, that's modern pop singing. she taught generations how to do it. >> we've had thoughony bennett lionel richie and others saying she was not only the best singer but the best. >> it leaves out other great singers. but is she one of the best? there is no doubt about it. she was nicknamed by oprah winfrey "the voice" long behalf her television show.

joe levy is a contributing eder at "rolling stone." nice to have all of you.ng the national anthem before, and i never want to sing it again after hearing her do it. >> it's not just i loved her voice on that. not just the voice. but the joy. one of the things you realized you sort of missed from her in recent years was that -- like she is just nailing it, and she knows it, and she's so happy in that performance. you know, she's like smiling her way through, killing it, just nailing it. did you see over the last years that she just started to lose the joy in her life? >> yeah, i think so. unfortunately. she was trying to get it back. when you try to have joy and try to get it back at the same time, they kind of bump heads, you know what i mean? it's hard. i mean, she was the darling. she still will be the darling, as far as i'm concerned. trying to come back. and i think when you lose your voice, i lost my voice first for the first time when i was doing "hairspray," and it shocked me so bad because i couldn't believe it. i had been singing for 50 years, and i
