As I read your post, I couldn't help thinking that perhaps that is the reason (beyond her musical accomplishments) for her receiving such an honor. BET could have chosen to honor the likes of an Aretha Franklin, Stevie Wonder, Quincy Jones, etc. But they chose to honor Whitney. Now, it may just be for the ratings...but a part of me thinks that it may be because of her drug use and fear that she, like Lady Day, will pass away before her time.
Now, I'm not trying to instill gloom, but it's something to ponder a bit.
