Ever since I saw the Whitney Houston documentary on Showtime, I’ve been kind of obsessed with her, her life and the people in it. Obviously, one of those people, if not the most important person, is her mother Cissy Houston. Throughout the doc, we hear about Cissy’s strictness. And in one telling moment, there was even the insinuation that Whitney had the career that she dreamed about. Still, Cissy didn’t do too bad…not too bad at all. In addition to her solo career, she formed a group, The Sweet Inspirations, that sang background for some pretty legendary people. Check them out on the following pages.
