*Gospel singer and pastor Kim Burrell is set to share her personal journey with the world through a heartfelt memoir titled “Whitney and Me,” which delves into her profound sisterhood with the late music icon Whitney Houston.
In a recent interview with DC’s Fox 5, Burrell expressed her feelings of loss and nostalgia, particularly during the holiday season.
“I miss her so very much, especially during the holidays,” she said, reflecting on the deep bond shared with Houston over the years.
Burrell revealed that she and Houston had made a promise to each other before Whitney’s untimely passing: to refrain from disclosing certain intimate details of their friendship and experiences in published works until the time was right. Now, as Burrell embarks on this literary endeavor, she feels ready to honor that commitment and release the book that embodies their loyalty and friendship.
“I am finally getting that out! It is so hard to talk about, especially now that we just funeralized her mother,” she shared.

The relationship between Burrell and Houston extended far beyond mere acquaintanceship; it was a partnership rooted in music, faith, and mutual support. Their collaborations produced unforgettable performances, including their moving duet of “I Look to You” during BET’s “Celebration of Gospel” in 2010. This performance exemplified their emotional connection and vocal synergy, leaving a lasting impression on the audience.
Additionally, Burrell paid tribute to Houston’s legacy at the 2010 BET Honors by presenting a jazz-infused version of “I Believe in You and Me,” which received a standing ovation and showcased Burrell’s admiration for Houston’s artistry. Their shared faith played a significant role in their relationship, with Burrell often speaking about Houston’s spirituality. In interviews reflected after Houston’s passing, Burrell noted Whitney’s strong connection with God, stating, “Whitney knew how to pray… She’s with Him today.”
Following Houston’s death in 2012, Burrell reminisced about their friendship, describing her late friend as a “wonderful spirit.” Burrell fondly recalled their last communication, remarking that Houston was in “great spirits.”

With the upcoming release of “Whitney and Me,” Burrell aims to provide insight into the beautiful friendship and creative partnership that defined her and Houston’s lives. Their enduring bond was characterized by vibrant musical collaborations, spiritual connections, and deep mutual respect, leaving a powerful impact on audiences worldwide.
As Kim Burrell embarks on this emotional journey to narrate her experiences with Whitney Houston, fans and followers eagerly anticipate the stories and reflections that will bring their once-in-a-lifetime friendship to life.
