Remembering Whitney: 9 Artists Keeping Whitney Houston's Legacy Alive

Saturday, August 9th would've been music legend Whitney Houston's 51st birthday. Though it's been a little over two years since her passing, we still can't stop talking about the mark she left and the life she led. There's no need to look any further than the much talked about Lifetime biopic directed by Angela Bassett and starring Yaya DaCosta slated for release next year. Less controversially, actress, singer and songwriter Jade Novah recently offered up an impressive eight-minute medley of some of Whitney's best known musical moment that took us all down memory lane.

That also got us thinking about Whitney's legacy, namely those artists that Whitney influenced who are keeping her memory and style alive in their own work. Take a look at the artists whom we at SBHQ think are carrying Whitney's torch quite well.
