It's REMARKABLE how much the young Whitney sounds like the young Cissy....but, of course they are Mom and Daughter aren't they? hehehe. Thanks for posting!!!
First time I heard this song I was passing in front of a records store...I stopped to hear such a beautiful song!!!! best performance of it is with Cissy....by far!!!
I'm listening closely, and those are, no doubt, Cissy's Sweet Inspirations on (female) back-ups, anyway. Another under-rated voice and talent of the 20th Century. Like Darlene Love (and the Blossoms), many vocalists of their caliber actually enjoyed being on back-ups: no pressures of demands of front-and-center stardom; steady income; they read music and could command tripple-scale pay; could go home to hubbies and families at the end of each workday, etc. I LOVE ME SOME CISSY HOUSTON!!!
Cissy Houston, Whitney's mom started it all... She actually had a much lower voice... here, one of my all time favorite songs from that era... and so very ... well, just sway with it...
Ella dear... this is what I was trying to send you... enjoy...
Cissy is absolutely one of the most fantastic singers in the history of song, and her Sweet Inspirations were rivaled only by the Blossoms led by the inimitable Darlene Love. While I SLIGHTLY prefer Darlene, Cissy is just unbelievable. Whitney may have a similar voice, but she can't come anywhere near her mother's style, timing, phrasing, shading, class, and above all, good taste in material.
what I like about Cissy Houston singing secular music is that she NEVER compromised her dignity. Sex and everything that comes with it, doesnt have to be sung by everybody. While Little Richard "liked to ball" with Tutti Frutti, Cissy kept it dignified with "Be My Baby". And I like a raunchy song...but I respect what her limits were...btw, Whitney sounds like her Mom, not the other way around.
there was a great live version of the song, that I would listen EVERY day.... Sometimes I don't understand youtube... They'll keep some naked wrestling contest (so with copyrights as well) but something great like cissy singing live in the 70's becomes an issue!
Honey I love you so much for that!!! But please tell me if you can find the live version that was on youtube last year!!! I would watch it 100 times a day. Please if you could find it and post it, I ll give you 1000 kisses!!! Thanks for this xxx
I'm back in the Desert so I'm finally getting to all my shares...Cissy does a more soul blues version of this old Classic and it's really good...I bet you thought about me singing this to "hunnie" when you sent this.....
super love the entire family xxxx
