Whitney had a voice that was one in a million as does Chris Cornell and his rendition of this classic hit song was brilliantly performed. This performance is quite an honorable tribute to the one and only Whitney Houston and if she’s looking down at us from heaven I’m sure she would agree. It’s no shocking surprise that this video has gone viral with over 1.6 million views in just one short week.

Cornell is easily one of the most versatile vocalists and musicians of our time. He’s well known for his lead vocalist roles over the years in popular bands Soundgarden and Audioslave and he’s had quite an impressive solo career as well. Of course he’s more than just a memorable and amazing voice, let’s not forget how much of a great guitarist he is too.

Chris Cornell has been involved in the creation of numerous classic hit songs over the years but personally my favorite of all time is Hunger Strike. This particular song is in my opinion one of the greatest songs of all time. It’s also quite significant to me since my favorite band of all time happens to be Pearl Jam. Hunger Strike was written and performed by a short lived band called Temple of the Dog which was a collaboration with other famous musicians who are known to have formed Pearl Jam around the same time back in the very early 1990′s.

Alright, on that note now that I feel really old all of a sudden and at the risk of getting too far off topic I’m just going to leave it at that. I really hope you enjoy the acoustic song Cornell recently performed as a tribute to the one and only Whitney Houston as much as I do.

You know for a country music singer she makes for a pretty descent rapper. Then again, she is so beautiful she could burp any song out loud and fans would probably still cheer. Not to discredit her talent or anything, but you have to admit she is one of the most gorgeous and talented music artists out there.

Similar to how Justin became noticed by music industry giants, Heather Russell had her music videos uploaded to YouTube and views are now rising rapidly.

Check out Heather’s video “Every Step of the Way” below. It’s an acoustic song with her father James Russell on guitar.
