LOS ANGELES — Cissy Houston, a two-time Grammy-winning soul and gospel artist who sang with Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley and other stars and knew triumph and heartbreak as the mother of Whitney Houston, has died. She was 91.
Cissy Houston died Monday morning in her New Jersey home while under hospice care for Alzheimer's disease, her daughter-in-law Pat Houston told The Associated Press. The acclaimed gospel singer was surrounded by her family.'Our hearts are filled with pain and sadness. We loss the matriarch of our family,' Pat Houston said in a statement. She said her mother-in-law's contributions to popular music and culture are 'unparalleled.
Houston's last performance with The Sweet Inspirations came after the group hit the stage with Presley in a Las Vegas show in 1969. Her final recording session with the group turned into their biggest R&B hit ' A Brand New Lover' a composition by the production team of Gamble & Huff, who appeared on the group's fifth album, 'Sweet Sweet Soul.'During that time, the group occasionally performed live concert dates with Franklin.
