Saturday, the world said goodbye to legendary singer Whitney Houston. Celebrities, family and friends attended her funeral in her hometown of Newark, New Jersey.
Here in Central Arkansas fans said they would remember Houston for her music, not her faults.
In fact, Michael Gilliam, owner of Ugly Mike's record store on 12th street, says her music has been flying off his shelves. The demand is so high, he's out of stock.
"I hope that my distributors are reloaded Monday, because I will be on the phone with them Monday. I buy from some of the big distributors, but all of them, Whitney has shot off the shelf," he said.
Gilliam says Whitney's sales are higher even than Michael Jackson after his death.
