STORY: Grammy winner Gloria Estefan took a moment before designer Narciso Rodriguez' Fall 2012 show on Tuesday (February 14) at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York to talk about the untimely death of Whitney Houston and how she prefers to remember her.
"We have a lot of beautiful memories," said Estefan, sitting with her husband and music producer Emilio Estefan.
"We went to their wedding and I've never seen two people so much in love on that night and that's, in my mind, the memory that I will always have of Whitney besides being a huge fan of hers all the way back when I first heard her."
Estefan recalls listening to Houston's hit single "Saving All My Love For You".
"I was in Japan. I'll never forget and I bought this CD and I was in love. What an amazing voice," Estefan said.
"She will always be one of the best singers of our time."
Her death on Saturday in a Beverly Hills hotel stunned the music world, her fans and her family, including Estefan.
"We're all going to go there, but somehow we don't think about it, and when we lose someone so iconic, so young, it's very painful for everyone," Estefan said.
Houston was found underwater in a bathtub in a Beverly Hills hotel, according to police. They have declined to speculate on the cause of her death at age 48.
