One of the world's greatest voices ever known-Whitney Houston-would have celebrated her birthday on Friday.<br />
The iconic singer was once the golden girl of the music industry and one of the biggest selling artists of all time. Her public battle with drugs led to breakdown of her music career.<br />
Tragically, she was found dead in her hotel room in LA on the evening of Saturday February 11, 2012.<br />
Here we celebrate the life of the legendary singer, actress and producer in tributes of her everlasting impact on pop music from three decade career.<br />
