Whitney Houston's death drew a condolence message from The Recording Academy, which presents the annual Grammy Awards - often touted as 'music's biggest night'.
The celebrated actress-singer, 48, was due to perform at music mogul Clive Davis's annual pre-Grammy party on Saturday night, at the Beverly Hilton hotel where she was found dead.
"Six-time Grammy winner Whitney Houston was one of the world's greatest pop singers of all time who leaves behind a robust musical soundtrack spanning the past three decades," People magazine quoted Neil Portnow, president and CEO of The Recording Academy, as saying in a statement.
"Her powerful voice graced many memorable and award-winning songs.
"A light has been dimmed in our music community today, and we extend our deepest condolences to her family, friends, fans and all who have been touched by her beautiful voice," he said. (ANI)
