Wow you can really hear Whitney's influence from her mother,her head voice and that growl and riffs,at one point they sounded exactly the same! Whitney did always say her mother was her greatest inspiration✌
You think? Although Cissy's voice is unparalleled, I don't see or hear anything resemblance to Whitney. I've never seen a mother and daughter be so different.
@@jameskirk1638 JK, Cissy taught Whitney everything she knew. I moved to NYC in the late 70's and would go to clubs to hear Cissy. Whitney was 14 at the time. She would sing backup for her mom. I see and hear a lot of Cissy in her. When Cissy sang at Radio city , she was a powerhouse and years later I could easily see how Whitney became one the of greatest singers of all time.
@@jameskirk1638 Her phrasing and style come directly from her mother. The way she uses her head tones, the timing of her belts, her growls...all of that is present here in Cissy's presentation. Whitney was a smoother version of it vocally but this is still the blueprint for Whitney's style.
Cissy taught Whitney to sing meaningful lyrics , to listen to the words , to know and FEEL what she sings ... This is why Whitney touched so many ... Beyond get God-given gift.
Legendary and Beautiful Ms. Cissy!!!! You are a precious jewel. I can see where Whitney got her range, power, clarity, conviction and her performing mannerisms. Love this :)
all that gospel singing!!! I feel robbed I was,am Roman Catholic & what a difference. I found church sad Catholic church was very quiet! oh my god! Icr going to church with my dad & I brought a friend with me. We were about 12? but we all went up for communion & my friend gets outside & pulls the holy ghost out of her pocket! I thought my dad was going to have a heart attack well after that she could never go with me!!! I said some not nice things about Cissy & she's old school like my dad!!! I do apologize Mrs Houston bc my dad was born in 1942 & his beliefs were the same you stay with your own ppl & homosexuality was considered a sin back then!
CISSY had no idea then ..that her life would never be the same ..and the daughter that was waiting on her to come home from this gig would sing to MILLIONS AND BECOME A SUPA⭐️⭐️⭐️ then The voice of a GENERATION WHITNEY HOUSTON
Came hear soon as I got the news . Your voice and influence is forever valued and you really carved a path for female background singers to come from behind the artists and make it. Thank you and rest in peace together again you and nip.
Wish I could get a hold of more of Cissy's live performances. She sounds phenomenal and its particularly interesting to listen to her given her influences on Whitney
They were opera singers … just not professional opera singers … trust Cissy studied opera. There’s an interview when cece winans brings up Whitney knowing opera ….
@@reginaldcoleman6897 Are you kidding me? How did I not know this? So, The Houston’s, Ms. Warwick, and Ms. Price are ALL related. Oh my. So much talent. 😮
Whitney’s style of singing was a cleaner form of gospel, while her mother was pure gospel. Both, however, have similar phrasing, which the mother taught Whitney everything she knew. We have to give credit to the mom. She was the only one who could ever touch Whitney.
@@kimberlyjade4094 lmaooo no sense of story telling!? Go listen to didn't we almost have it all live 1987! Whitney was specifically known for her ability to be emotive and paint a clear picture of what she singing
@Mariah J. In her prime years Whitney’s range came first, musicianship second and emotivity third. I honestly feel Dionne and Aretha were better than in her in the storytelling department (just based on what I’ve seen from all three women) because their emotivity was synonymous with their musicianship. Whitney’s storytelling prime was during her “post prime” years (96-04) oddly enough. To me, the kind of music she did during her prime didn’t really allow her much wiggle room to emote to her fullest extent. She was too busy pigeonholed (and exploited) for her power. The proof is in those 1991 performances where she’s hoarse/under the weather where she’s forced to rely more on her storytelling. 91 Whitney and 97 Whitney are VERY similar in that way.
I always loved Cissy Houston's voice and when her daughter (Whitney) became an International Sensation it was no surprise! Like David Foster (Producer of the Bodyguard soundtrack) said that Whitney was a thoroughbred born to sing!!
Yes, I can hear where Dionne got her vocal stylings from Auntie Cissy. Cissy is amazing. Elvis knew what him was doing, having her as a backup singer he recorded and toured with.
I see, hear and feel so much Whitney there, and viceversa. Wow, Whitney was lucky, what a great teacher , and right at home.. That is soul , singing from the heart...
Cissy strategically trained Whitney. Whitney stole all her mom runs. She talks about it in her book. You can clearly hear where she got her phrasing and breath support from. Cissy trained her daughter in voice. I mean listen to their OPERATIC like head voices. Cissy was a smart teacher.
I don’t think “stole” is an appropriate word... her mom taught her everything she knows. It’s not like Whitney stole her mother’s style and ran away from her. Whitney have credit to her mom all the time.
Cissy throwin' them high "1"s out there in"Tomorrow" like they ain't nothing...hits the "3" above so casually like she wasn't even trying (she didn't have to try...she knew it was there). Cissy Houston is a BEAST singer. Gotta give it to her. She revolutionized Background Singing and had a helluva stage act of her own!
To say what a remarkable lady would be an understatement. I've just recently learned of this lady's passing on 7th October and its only now I'm engrossed in both Cissy and Whitney's musical journeys. R.I.P dear Lady.
Whitney’s phrasing was VERY similar to her mother’s in the start of her career. However, as Whitney’s voice progressed, she started sounding less like her mother, and developing her own style of phrasing, which grew from her mom’s.
@Mary Lane I Thought I Was The Only One Who Noticed How Much Yelling She Did. It Does Work For Her In New Hope Baptist Church Though. Whenever I Heard Her In Person At Church, She Makes The Choir Sing Their Excellent Best.
Yesssss!!!! Thank you for uploading! And yes, Cissy definitely sang background in both the Dionne and Jerry Butler versions of "Make it Easy on Yourself"
If you want to know who created the magnificent, legendary, The Voice we all know as Whitney Houston it was her mother. She taught Whitney everything she knew
Wow 🤩 So raw a and absolutely stunning musical experience! I’m in love 😍 with her singing voice! She sang from her heart, and I actually cried when she sang ‘Tomorrow’ 😭❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Everything happens for a reason. She groomed her daughter and look where it took Whitney, Cissy was the greatest teacher Whitney could ever have. Thank you Cissy!!
I think you pay a high price in a wicked industry to climb to the tippy top. Look at whitney Houston in the 80's vs.the 90's. You could see her spirit was saddened.
you guys keep saying Whitney, Cissy Houston has been a star in the gospel field for 65 years,and has sung on over 200 number 1 records and was one of the most sought after session singers in the history of recorded music,as a matter of fact Cissy Houston has been a legend wayyyyyy before Whitney ever recorded. with the Drinkard singers All those Atlantic Records has a Cissy Houston voice on them
Such a stunning presence and that effortless voice, whether it is gospel etc. Cissy alway makes it look like she loves what she does and thats performing and singing
MIEOY re-nailed! And I was raised on the Walker Bros version....this fantastic melody is indestructible and unspoilable....and sung here to its highest potential! Thank you Ms. Houston
To me, the album these songs were from was the best album she ever recordedI think her version may have been the first recording of the song "tomorrow" and I remember that it got a lot of air play but don't remember it being a huge hit for her. The whole album is a masterpiece and a must to have if you love good music and the voice of the great Cissy Houston.
I agree. Although al of Cissy's recorded output is extraordinary, that eponymous 1976 album, produced by MIchael Zager, was definitely her absolute best, no contest. I was fortunate enough to see her act at the time when this clip was taped and it was beyond memorable. What a voice, what a talent, what a woman.
+nutloaf I was lucky to see her with Whitney at Sweetwaters in Manhattan many years ago and before Whitney was a huge success. One of the perks of being old. Saw wonderful acts like Patti Labelle and the bluebelles, the Shirelles, Chuck Jackson and the list goes on. You used to be able to see 8 or 10 acts in one show in the day. Was so great!
Cissy Houston is one of the best singers in US music history and surely deserve a better place on the Pantheon of the great stars. Nowadays, there is so much shit in America that some people call them "singers"...... no names......... Nicky Minaj, Cardi B, Shawn Mendes Katy Perry, Taylor Swift, Drake...... I mean, All Grammy nominees are shit for me........
One of my ALL TIME FAVORITES!!!!!! I have the LP and I still listen to it on my stereo component I've had since 1987. The album sounds so must better. Love, love, love the Houston Ladies!!!!
Yes we all know how great Ms Cissy Houston is, but can we talk about the the brother in the straw Hat 🤠. And the voice he has on him!!! Just magnificent. 😍💯
Thank you, Alan for sharing this beautiful video with us. There's a song I like by Cissy called "I Just Wanna Be with You." Cissy sings it so beautifully. The song is very touching.
The whole situation here is that Ms. Dionne could to it all including effortless belting. Like somebody said in the comments. She could belt her face off!! Facts all day long!!!
Cissy was also part of Elvis' backup group the Sweet Inspirations. No doubt Whitney inherited her talent. Still, I think Whitney was blessed with even better tone.
Price Pittsburgh NO !! Whitney was great but listen to The Queen of Soul song aint no way and the high soprano is Cissy now that's what you call awesome !!
Wow you can really hear Whitney's influence from her mother,her head voice and that growl and riffs,at one point they sounded exactly the same! Whitney did always say her mother was her greatest inspiration✌

Well...I guess I'll watch Tomorrow and cry a minute. Cissy Houston, you'll never be forgotten.
