Events big and small, from the 2012 Grammys on Sunday to the NAACP Image Awards last night, occurred in the shadow of what happened to Whitney and the sudden absence it left in the music world.
Though her career had waned over the last decade, her tunes from as far back as 1985 can make even the most lead-footed curmudgeon get up and dance. Or, in the case of her biggest hits from The Bodyguard—slow-dance.
Here's a rundown of the week's news:
