{blackbabes} SiriusXM to salute Whitney Houston on 50th birthday

Whitney Houston would have turned 50 years old on Friday. To honor her memory, SiriusXM Radio will dedicate a daylong special to the late diva.

Celebration of A Lifetime, set to air 9 a.m. to 3 a.m. ET Saturday on Heart & Soul via satellite (channel 48), will showcase Houston's music along with personal reflections from mom Cissy Houston, sister-in-law Pat Houston and cousin Dionne Warwick, and colleagues such as Clive Davis, R. Kelly, Narada Michael Walden and Kashif.

The special can also be accessed through the SiriusXM Internet Radio App, and online at siriusxm.com.

SiriusXM launched the Whitney Houston Tribute Channel at the time of her death, in February 2012, to commemorate her life and music.
