'Glee' Honors Whitney Houston With 'I Will Always Love You' Cover
The cast of Glee honored Whitney Houston during last night's
Valentine's episode, titled 'Heart.' Just three days after her death, Whitney
Houston was the beloved subject of a moving musical tribute on FOX's hit show
-- by sheer coincidence. Star Amber Riley covered her biggest hit, I Will
Always Love You that was planned by Glee's team long before her death.
In another coincidence, Amber Riley also met the legendary singer just 3 days
before she passed, and she said it was a moment she will never forget. Take a
look at the touching moments via today's Hollywire Hot Minute!

Riley recalled her meet and greet with the music icon at Kelly Price’s pre-Grammy party and how she actually had to work up the courage to go speak with Houston. “I went over and I thanked her for letting us use her music and trusting it with us on Glee. She said ‘What show are you on, baby?’ and I said ‘Glee.’ And she said, ‘Oh, you’re welcome’ and she rubbed my hand and said ‘God bless you.’ I walked away and I almost started crying.”
