In Defense of Whitney Houston

Cortney Wills sits down with her friend and fellow entertainment journalist, Gerrick Kennedy who just released his highly anticipated book "Didn't We Almost Have It All: In Defense of Whitney Houston" on February 1. The remarkable project from the music expert and lifelong fan invites us to examine a life we felt quite entitled to with a different lens and contextualizes some of her biggest moments, greatest successes, and most devastating losses, almost ten years after her tragic death.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
