She sang the first part of it a cappella and musically the world was never the same.“We have a moment of her in that movie we’ll never ever forget that and I think that when movies are working at their best, that’s what can happen.”Houston passed away on February 11, 2012 after accidentally drowning in a bathtub following a drug overdose.The Bodyguard became a huge hit when it was released, becoming one of the highest-grossing films of all time in 1992, while its soundtrack still holds the record for the biggest-selling soundtrack of all time.

Chris Willman Music WriterUnofficially, at least, the United States has three national anthems now, not just one … which allowed three musical all-star artists — Mickey Guyton, Jhené Aiko and Mary Mary — to shine in the immediate run-up to Super Bowl LVI in Los Angeles Sunday.Much-lauded country singer Guyton was in pole position just before the game to sing “The Star Spangled Banner,” as she has on many occasions before.
