Whitney Sings The Star-Spangled Banner

The Gulf War took center stage during the opening minutes at Super Bowl XXV in 1991. Whitney Houston, then at the top of her game, sang an emotional Star-Spangled Banner that had many in the crowd in tears. Concern about the war was running so high the halftime show (New Kids On The Block) was delayed until after the game so that during intermission, ABC could bring fans up to date on Operation Desert Storm.

Famed entertainer and singer, Whitney Houston has died at age 48, her publicist has confirmed to ABC News. The most honored female artist of all time, Houston is the only artist ever to have seven consecutive multiplatinum albums.
