Gospel singer BeBe Winans' memoir based on his friendship with Whitney Houston, The Whitney I Knew, is out today.

Whitney Houston's husband of 14 years and the presumed downfall of her career, Bobby "King of R&B" Brown, appeared on this morning's episode of Today in his first televised interview since her death.
