Rev. Jesse L. Jackson Sr. Responds to the Passing of Whitney Houston

Like the rest of the world I am terribly shocked and  saddened by the passing of Ms. Whitney Houston. I watched her grow up singing in the church choir under the leadership of Rev. Thomas.

Her mother is an outstanding singer, singing with the phenomenal group the Sweet Inspiration.

Whitney was one of the outstanding voices of our time. There is a hole in the sky and void in the music world.
