10 Albums And Songs That Feature Cissy Houston’s Background Vocals
Forever, for Always, for Love, Luther Vandross
In the same documentary I referenced before, Luther Vandross spoke about how much of a fan he was of Houston. After a concert, he ran up to her and told her that she was a better vocalist than Aretha Franklin, Patti LaBelle and everyone else. Eventually, when Luther was making a name for himself the two started working together on a number of projects. Cissy contributed background vocals for Vandross’ second studio album Forever, for Always, for Love. In case you forgot, it featured classics like, “Bad Boy/Having a Party,” “Since I Lost My Baby,” the album’s title track and many more.
Vandross called on Cissy to continue working with him on his 1985 album The Night I Fell in Love. It also featured a couple of classics like “Till My Baby Comes Home,” “If Only for One Night,” “Creepin’,” “Wait for Love” and “My Sensitivity (Gets in the Way).”
