Marvin Gaye National Anthem, Whitney Houston’s long-time musical director, who worked with her on a spine-tingling rendition of the National Anthem for the Super Bowl in 1991, said the pop superstar “was so happy” when he saw her Thursday at a rehearsal for a pre-Grammy awards show dinner.
Rickey Minor, now music director for “The Tonight Show,” was preparing to rehearse with singers Brandy and Monica for producer Clive Davis’ dinner when a soaking wet Houston arrived from the pool at the Beverly Hilton Hotel.

“Her hair was still wet and she gave me a big hug,” said Minor. “She shook her hair on me and got me all wet.

“She was on fire. She was so happy. She talked about the movie (“Sparkle”), the costumes. She was so, so good.”
