Marvin Winans of the famous Winans family will be delivering the eulogy at Whitney Houston's funeral in New Jersey on Saturday. This was at the request of her mother Cissy Houston. Winans is a gospel singer and a Detroit pastor. You will remember Winans also married Whitney and Bobby in 1992. New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie told the media Tuesday that he planned to issue an executive order so that flags at government buildings in New Jersey would fly at half-staff on the day of her funeral. Now that's RESPECT.Whitney will be smiling from above. However, I am still somber as never in my life would I expect what that front row pew would look like. I see Aretha Franklin, Gladys Knight, Cissy Houston, Dionne Warwick, all these elderly gospel music icons seated with Bobby Brown, Bobbi Kristina, Clive Davis and more. There will be a big screen TV outside New Hope Baptist church on Saturday for the standing room crowd outside. Fans will probably tailgate them to the cemetery. That procession coverage will be available here thruout Saturday afternoon. Security will be tight as the main audience are going to be celebrities and executives in the music business. Truly sad.
