Come Sunday by Cissy Houston HQ

[WoMENnPOWER]

Beautiful!

[hherroyal05]

This would have been Whitney's destiny... her mother had as good of a voice, if not better in many ways, given her age. You can see the lovely Whitney at the end, supporting her mom :( I think Whitney Houston's story should be taught in schools, because it is the saddest drug story ever. Crack IS whack!

[priscamolotsi]

@hherroyal05 I agree with you. I have all of Cissy's Gospel albums, I love "The Lord's My Shepherd"!! You can hear Whitney's timbre in her mom's voice...what a shame, what a shame!

[patterson11207]

This was so sick love it. RIP Whithey

[moneycashlexus]

Now everybody knows where nippy got it from.

[datboywitdemvocals06]

You know Whitney got it from her mama

[READY4REVELATION]

Cissy had polups(sorry if i mispelled that) on her vocal cords....so all of you negative people give her a break.

[r7a7f7a7e7l]

Cantando melhor que Whitney Houston!!!sua filha!!!

[kmaur21]

2:03 Whitney does the same run who do you love japan when she goes in head from chest. She got that from Cissy!

[iloveabba91]

Look at the way her tounge vibrate in her mouth. So great XD

[peterguit]

didn't she sing with someone called Presley?..

[akuapiata]

@peterguit Elvis, she was a backing vocalist

[SJEEZUS]

Dayum she ends in whistle register using open falcetto! Dayum thats just amazing. poor Whitney, a mom like that is a tough act to follow but she did it anyway...

[kmaur21]

@SJEEZUS Her range is ridiculous!!!!!!!!!

[pathetic321]

She's great, i can see where Whitney got her vocals from lol! Wow, what a voice.

[ronneal1]

Wow Anita Baker looked great what year was this.....

[1982cipriano]

Is she singing a different version of Come Sunday? B/c I looked up the lyrics online and this version doesn't match the lyrics.

[BMOCHURCH]

@1982cipriano She singing the 2nd verse. I did the same thing and found out that she's on the 2nd verse.

[GospelAccording2ME]

I know I'll get crucified for this, but I must speak my mind: I have never liked this woman's voice. In later years she lacked control. Her vibrato always seems to take over the song. Having said that, she did give us some serious vocals from that slide @ 1:40 through the end of the song. It got a bit sloppy toward the very end, but I think she deserves mad respect for her early work with Aretha, not to mention the fact that she birthed THE most brilliant vocalists of our time. Just my opinion.

[joohsay]

@GospelAccording2ME.. yeah, Im not a fan of Cissy's voice either. I have often wondered where did Whit's got hers from. lol

[gaylolful]

@joohsay NOW we know hehe

[TheCadillac75]

Beautiful!

[Keitarts]

Mama Houston should have recorded that one!

[MrNICKB13]

NOW THIS IS WHERE WHITNEY GET IT FROM!!! MAMA CAN SAAAAAAAANGGGG!

[Undefeated92]

CISSY HOUSTON ...

I LOVE YOU *-*

OH MY GOD! GEEZ!

[morenoman]

@Undefeated92 Ahaha I feel you .. somebody had to walk by and scrap me off the floor... i'm in Awe!

[taytayboss]

She better SANG!!!!

[San47di]

@sfrgers You don't have to say Whitney Houston's mom in your narrative, as Cissy Houston holds that name all by herself! She has been a Powerhouse and Grammy Award winning vocalist her entire career, and long before Whitney came to the fore. :-) At age 77, she can still belt out Gospel.

[Whatujuant]

@San47di i agree with you.....her voice stilll powerful.....i watch this video everyday lol

love this video

[San47di]

@Whatujuant I remember when Cissy performed as the Sweet Inspirations & was doing backup vocals for Aretha Franklin. EVERYBODY was asking why she didn't just go "solo" way back then. Cissy also discovered oh so MANY other dynamite talents, like Luther Vandross .. she performed many commercial jingles. She is such an UNsung heroic artist! Her ENTIRE Family has talent, prior to Whitney's break-through.

[Whatujuant]

@San47di totally agree with you...powerhouse

[Whatujuant]

sang CISSY!!!!!! old school sanging LOVE IT

[forevab1]

Now I see where whitney gets her voice from. Cissy sounds wonderful!!! :-)

[chpiyatas]

Whitney is so nothing like Cissy. I wish her voice is still this good like her mother. Anyway, I really love those vibreto. It's amazing!

[IWILLS79]

Cissy Houston and that stifled vibrato is definitely an acquired taste. When she starts wailing @ 1:41 is where i said.... CHECK PLEASE! Lol. She definitely can blow but her voice is not for everyone.

[megamapagmahal]

i know she a hall of famer !! she gave her very best talent to WITHNEY!! love you cissy

[rimbaud15]

oh so cute whitney (she's so beautiful my God) with her mom : this the most beautiful thing in the world, a mother with her son or her daughter

[navifios]

passado!!!!!!

[uprayup]

Ms. Cissy is a beautiful person and I love to hear her sing. She "DOES HAVE A DYNAMIC VOICE" (I agree MRTre5670

[kmaur21]

Cissy and Nippy both can do falsetto notes, but it is whistle register for them. They both can sing in 5th and sixth octaves in head, mix, and superhead tones alone being both are coloraturas in their prime.

[MrSoulshock4444]

@PauliusBa this woman don't do falsetto. this is proper head voice. operatic head voice actually

[PauliusBa]

Women don't do falsetto? Lol. Male and female voices are the same, only the locations of bridges and natural range differ. A man can also sing in head voice, just like female opera singers do. But that is reasonably considered rubbish. :) And don't deny falsetto, even though it connects with head. Everybody has falsetto.

[MrSoulshock4444]

i didn't say women don't do falsetto, I said THIS woman don't do falsetto

[IgorLueska]

@MrSoulshock4444

women don't really have falsetto

[kmaur21]

Yep Cissy and Whitney both had opera training thats why they can hit those flawless head, and superhead tones like no other. Plus they both have whistle tones which are falsetto for women at least!

[MrSoulshock4444]

OMG mommy cissy was SANGING that song

[robertodell270]

Sem comentários, apenas, espetacular!!!

[rosilva0909]

rosilva0909

É de arrepiar!!!! Eu com uma voz dessas...

SENSACIONAL!!!!!!!!!!

[beatinitup79]

the barrett sisters got them high notes im going to fly away!!

[pianistica]

yeah, Cissy and Whitney have a very special way to sing, it's a family thing :)

[TheSanctifiedSoldier]

How can SOUL be explained to a soul-less generation....You have to have SOUL to understand SOUL....we all have a soul but not everyone has SOUL...SOUL cannot be explained it can only be inflected in the moment...a song may be written one way but a feeling comes in that wasn't expected...a feeling that resonates and in that moment a different interpretation will come forth to help explain the emotion of a song...OH there is so much more to singing that has obviously been lost...This was SOUL...

[MrTre5670]

@TheSanctifiedSoldier YOU ARE RIGHT U CAN'T SEE A SOUL BECAUSE IT'S INTERNAL

[MrTre5670]

@TheSanctifiedSoldier YES IT WAS!

[diah4]

cissy houston is no joke. and she can still holler like that right now.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! WOW!
