Many of this year's nominees were inspired by a woman with one of the best set of pipes in music. Whitney was respected by older musicians and admired by newcomers. Though the night belonged to Adele in terms of number of awards, memories of Whitney were in the back of lots of performers' minds at music's greatest celebration. The night also remembered others who died the previous year.
