«The Star-Spangled Banner» (over) ble sunget av Whitney Houston under Super Bowl XXV i 1991 – da var hun 28 år gammel. Min kone er amerikansk, så vi så på flere videoer i går (fra LA Times) etter vi hørte at en av Amerikas mest kjente sangere døde tragisk natt til søndag.

… With America entangled in the Persian Gulf War, Houston performed «The Star Spangled Banner» at Super Bowl XXV at Tampa Stadium on January 27, 1991. Due to overwhelming response to her rendition, it was released as a commercial single and video of her performance, and reached the Top 20 on the US Hot 100, making her the only act to turn the national anthem into a pop hit of that magnitude.
