Well I never was a big fan of Whitney's, but felt compelled to make a video of one of her tunes after hearing of her passing. I learned the music quickly and cheated by having the lyrics in front of me. Did it in one take, it wasn't going to get any better...

I don't do the song any justice, but just wanted to put something up as a tribute to her. RIP Whitney!

 
Nice rendition.

Q: Hey, what's the first thing Whitney is going to do in heaven?

A: Open for Michael Jackson by singing a duet with Amy Winehouse.

(too soon?)

Yes. People who ask 'too soon' really don't care.

ANYWAY, I hope other uke players follow this up with more tribute videos.
 
Thanks guys! Seems like there's lots of Whitney uke covers on youtube that have posted in the last couple of days.
 
Sweet - this is such a sincere tribute, it gets to the heart of saying "thank you."
 
Eric, I loved it. I worked on this song and got no where near your rendition. Thanks for that! Fabulous. Uke it out, bro.
 
Erivel. I did the same thing. I loved this song as a kid so when I heard the news I pulled up the chords and got to work. Yours sounds great!
 
Very, very nice!!! That was a great song from her better days!!
