Whitney Houston Meets the Civil War

Talk about worlds colliding. Here's Whitney, old-school Whitney, doing a version of "Battle Hymn of the Republic."

I forgot how much she could sing. It's funny, back in the day we all thought Whitney was like a straight Jack-and-Jill bougie black girl. When she married Bobby Brown a lot of us were thrown. It was only much later that I realized that she might well have Bobby beat on the hood quotient.
