- Live performance Swiss Television 1979.
Emily "Cissy" Houston (née Drinkard; born September 30, 1933) is an American soul and gospel singer. After a successful career singing backup for such artists as Dionne Warwick, Elvis Presley and Aretha Franklin, Houston embarked on a solo career, winning two Grammy Awards for her work.
I hear Whitney all in Mama Cissy’s voice. Her throat was soar here, but if you listen to her original version. She rips this song to pieces. Mama Cissy had a powerful and beautiful voice. Whitney’s voice was a younger replica of her mother’s voice. Now I know where Whitney got that powerhouse voice and singing style from. I’m giving Cissy Houston her flowers while she can still smell them.❤
Sua voz é indentica ao de sua filha Whitney.🎤🎼🎶
Just wow!!!!! What an amazing singer!!!! Her rhythm feel is so accurate...😮 She is a great musician, too!
I can understand now why Whitney always said that her mother taught her everything!. Not just the vocal technique but also the music!
I hear some Dionne in there!!!
Thanks five million times thank you thank you thank you love seeing real footage of Cissy Houston singing the songs I live for thank you she's so talented
Cissy was just phenomenal
This woman is spectacular.... ❤
OMG this song is so Damn fierce in a club. OMG I would loose my mind when I would hear this at the Paradise Garage in NYC. Legendary!!!!!
Exactly!
Cissy Houston is truly one of the greatest voices of our time.
She’s fabulous
Quarmaine Stephenson how old was she here

Awesome ❤! Wow! Breathtakingly beautiful!
Cissy was sanging her ass off baby!!!!
I hear Bits Of Whitney's Sound in Her Mother's Voice
Momma throat was hurting and she was a little hoarse but she still gave a great performance. Take notes!!!
Lol yessir she was probably tired
I never knew she had a son named Rodney. Indeed, Mrs Houston did give a great performance.
Take notes!!!
Where did you hear that?
@@kirbykipling9515 Yupp I had to stay in the house while everyone else became great 😂😂
AMAZING CISSY, I LOVE YOUUUUUUU ♥
WOW!
Okg this my first time listening to Cissy and my god she passed Whitney her voice ! I know cissy was a very proud mother of her daughter
GREAAAAAT CISSY
C'mon Cissy! Oh yes! Sang!
You stop everything your doing when you hear this voice and ask yourself, “is this magnificence or what”?
Whitney performed an almost exact rendition of ‘Tomorrow’ at her Arista debut showcase.
not as well as Cissy but yeah she was clearly influenced by her mother's singing style and approach
1:34. That “uh huh” ad lib sounded so identical to her daughter. Cissy definitely taught Whitney some of her ad libs
Brilliant!! Thank you for sharing !
What a great find! Thank you so much for uploading!
OH MY GOD! thank you!!!!
OMG, this is beyond amazing!!!
Love it!
Wow, so glad i found these videos!
You can definitely hear some of whitney's tone, they just have different timbres
EXCELENTE EEEEEEEEE
I don’t care what anybody say! This is Whitney’s birth mother
Of course she is Whitney's birth mother! Whitney looks like a combination of her mother and father, John Houston.
Yes. I also don't think that they are alike directly, but at second look, they are similar. Whitney has Cissy siluette only Cissy is not that thin. That other lady has a different siluette. Plus the tone of the voice is similar, of course, not the same.
Watch the "THINK IT OVER" on soul train, she tore it up, and songs like "BE MY BABY", "YESTERDAY","MAKE IT EASY, ON YOURSELF", and of course, the song tell her big success with the Broadway play annie, "THE SUN WILL COME OUT TOMORROW", AND also check out the songs, "ALFIE", by CISSY Houston The Sweet Inspirations," I NEED YOUR SWEET INSPIRATION"
She was actually sick that night, but she still did it, I'll read it in her autobiography, not the one about Whitney Houston, the one she wrote about her own life, in 1998, but what's so crazy is, people don't realize how much Whitney learned from her mom, and studied her mom, because this is in the 70s during the Disco era, and that's the same type of wig, and look Whitney will use, during her I'm Your Baby Tonight tour
Her normal singing voice reminds me of Mavis Staples & higher notes of her daughter "The Voice" aka Whitney Houston.😳
5:40
Is that THE great Donny Hathaway?!
10:00
Is that a 🆕 whistle register that is almost _invisible_ to the ears!?😅
10:23-10:26
Those selections wore her out. I wonder where the uploader got this footage from.🤭
13:05-13:13
(bows as if the song isn't finished then walks back to return for a curtain call)
She had 2 go back & get a drink of water. With the extra leftover seconds to sip some tea.🍵
_still ended it on a good note, pun intended_ 😁
Cece clearly taught Whitney everything about singing. She tuaght her how to handle high or low tones
wow Whitney looked like her here
Cissy favors Thelma Houston with that pretty wig.
IS IT ME OR CISSY JUST DOESN'T MOVE ME SOLO WISE 😳😲😆 WELL THANK "GOD" SHE GAVE BIRTH TO WHITNEY 🎤👏👍💯
I wonder what Whitney was doing that night… lol
She has a voice better than 90% of singers today. Including Mary J. bilge and Alicia keys, who also have Smokey voices. However her delivery performance wise is lackluster. She could have moved a little or had some dancers. Lol
She was gospel singer most of her childhood and into her early adult years. So if you notice, although she is singing pop music she still conducted herself like “a church singer”. A lot of the gospel singers who came out of the Baptist Church or similar denominations, who crossed over to secular music, tended to have a rather reserved stage presence. Most of the wilder soul singers had Pentecostal or Charismatic church backgrounds.
I never really liked her singing..it just didn't move me..maybe its song choices..
She's pitchy as heck. I can understand why she was never as big as her daughter. And true, she had a horrible choice of songs. Still her delivery of them is just a horrible as the songs themselves. Horrible + horrible = HORRIBLE!! Should have just stuck to background singing. Harmonizing is more her Forte.
She always sung the wrong type of songs for her voice. I agree and she too was jealous of her
Daughter….It showed in her face and her eyes….
@@sexylexie Cissy taught Whitney everything. Whitney is basically the perfected version of her mother. Cissy was definitely proud that her daughter exceeded her! Like a parent would/should..... Jealous? Wrong on all parts.
Lol silly trolls gonna troll
@@pianist12 She was jealous. 🙄
