- Syndicated talk show host
Joe Madison yesterday said
that the late singer Whitney Houston was one of the people
responsible for saving the NAACP Image Awards from obscurity.
Madison, who served as the chairman of the awards, said Houston and Denzel Washington
interrupted filming of "The Preachers Wife" in 1996 to travel across
the country to Los Angeles to host the Image Awards.
"It took hours to tape the show and Whitney never complained," Madison
said, "She
was the picture of patience and grace, and that's how I choose to
remember her."
