Cissy Houston’s Bboy hits are not only rare and hard to find, but many people don’t even know about them. Disco tracks like “Think It Over” and “You’re the Fire” feature breaks as funky as ever, and you may have heard clips without knowing their origin.
Cissy Houston ended up going Gospel, and is the push behind McDonald’s Gospelfest.
Some bio background from Wikipedia:
Born Emily Drinkard in Newark, New Jersey to Nitcholas and Delia Mae Drinkard (née McCaskill), she was the eighth child; older siblings were her brothers William, Hansom, Nicky, and Larry, and sisters Lee, Marie and Anne. Houston’s father Nitcholas Drinkard was born to Susan Bell (called Delia) Drinkard (née Fuller), of Dutch and African-American descent. His father John Drinkard, Jr., was of Native American and African descent. The Drinkards had owned a substantial amount of farmland in Blakely, Georgia, during a time when it was unusual for blacks to own large portions of land. The asset was gradually depleted as they sold small portions of the land over time, to resolve the continued legal troubles of a close relative.
