Song: Whitney Houston-It Was In God's PlanSong by: Gail Nobles © 2021Keyboard music by: Gail NoblesCheering effect: https://www.freesfx.co.uk/Human crowd studio effect: freesoundeffect.netPhoto credit: qthomasbower https://flic.kr/p/bBUKCBUsage: CC BY-SA 2.0God knows best. Yes, it was in God's plan. It was in God's plan. Whitney Houston asked her music director Rickey Minor about changing the National Anthem in a way that words could linger. Whitney performed the National Anthem like no one else did before. I believe that God was with her there. It was God that gave Whitney Houston her great singing talent.Rickey Minor the directorClive Davis the producerWhitney Houston the singerAnd God is so much more. When the crowd booed Whitney Houston at the Soul Train Awards, I knew that she was God's child. I asked God about it, and he said, "She was a wealthy woman."Wealth can mean a lot of things in the Lord. Everything we have is a gift from God. Whitney had money, but she also had gifts and talents and maybe some hidden abilities too. Maybe she had things she didn't know she had. Maybe she could do some things she didn't know she could do.Although Whitney Houston had trials, I'm glad that she knew the Lord, and the she was seeking him. It's not easy in the spotlight of the world. Whitney had fame and fortune, but all the glory and the honor and the praise belongs to God. We can't out live him, and we can't live without him. Whitney said before she left us, "I'm gonna go see Jesus." Yes, it was in God's plan. It was in God's planWhitney Houston - It Was In God's Plan © 2021 by Gail Nobles.

I bet Mrs. Ross the Boss was proud of Whitney. ... (Singing) Y'all remember the song. Whitney was singing it. She said ..... (Music and Singing)Something like that. Whitney Houston had a whole band. I can't play all those instruments. Not today. But you get the idea. Yea, Whitney was rockin' and jammin' in Washington D.C. That's a concert I'll never forget. Whit had soul, and you could tell by how she was movin' the crowd. You could tell by how her band was playing. You could tell by how her backup singers were singing. They were all moving and into it. And Whitney knew what she had when she had Rickey Minor behind her or should I say Pretty Ricky?And like Diana Ross, Whitney Houston was the boss. She was in charge holding that microphone. She was the leader who influenced and inspired others like Monica and Brandy. As a matter of fact, they were at her concert. .... (singing)

Enviable view... as I write, Chris Johnson is spending his nights staring into the glorious, celebrated, backside of Jennifer Lopez. A hired gun, Chris has sat behind, and supported, Rihanna, Madonna, Stevie Wonder, Seal, Patti LaBelle Nelly Furtado, Anastasia, and Fantasia... to name but a bunch. Self-taught, discovered playing drums in church at 17, Chris's first professional gig was being discovered by American Idol's musical director Rickey Minor... winged from LA to NYC's Beacon Theatre, playing with a band for the first time in his life, backing up gospel star, Donnie McClurkin for the first time when the stage lights came up. Chris, a fearless, talented, musical genius, does the work and gets it done. I met Chris at the advance screening of Hired Gun, an independent feature set to drop in theatres throughout the country June 29th, for one night only. Not to be missed by anyone who loves rock and the rockers who make it... starring the sidemen who oft steal stadium and arena stages from the front men we came to see... their stories are important, entertaining, and inspiring. We get Chris's in-depth tale of a yougin' who grew up without hearing the forbidden music... creating his own ambitious process of mastering it... swiftly! Chris Johnson is my newest hero.
