Deliverance...

[From Canyon News, Michael St. John's Confidential File]

DELIVERANCE IS THE WORD: There is no surprise that the day has come when WHITNEY HOUSTON, one of America’s greatest pop voices, has to make a decision between life and death. The lady has entered rehab so many times that even some of her most ardent fans have given up on hearing the magical voice that once hypnotized them.

When I spoke with her mom, Cissy, who is a good friend, I was told that this time around her daughter realizes she can’t go on the way she has - she has to make a decision about her life.

“Whitney,” her mom said, “understands the seriousness of her problem and she wants deliverance from the pain of it all. She believes that she can lick any odds she is forced to face. She wants to live - she knows that the drug world is a road to death. And I know my daughter, she will win this battle like everything else she’s had to face through her life.”
