CHICAGO (AP):
The Reverend Jesse Jackson says Whitney Houston was one of the outstanding voices of our time.
The Chicago civil-rights leader said yesterday that he was praying for her family, including Houston's gospel singer mother, Cissy Houston.
Jackson says there's a void in the music world.
Whitney Houston died Saturday on the eve of the Grammy Awards. She had been expected to attend a pre-Grammy gala but was found dead hours before the event. Paramedics attempted to revive Houston, but were unsuccessful. She was 48.
Houston's publicist says the cause of death is unknown.
