Did Cissy Houston have a lot of influence over Whitney Houston?
Wiki User
∙ 11y ago
By most accounts, Cissy Houston had only a limited amount of influence as Whitney got older and more independent. She certainly tried to get her daughter to change, but in fairness, Whitney had addiction issues, and even the best parents have trouble influencing an addict-- unless that addict is ready to change. Clearly, Whitney was not ready to change, and her addiction contributed to her death at such a young age.

Her mother, Cissy Houston, is certainly well-known: in the 1960s, she was a popular vocalist with a group called the Sweet Inspirations who made some records of their own and also sang back-up vocals for famous people like Elvis Presley; Cissy Houston has also been a well-regarded gospel singer, who has performed all over the United States.

Who is Whitney Houston god mother?
Many media sources have reported that it was Aretha Franklin, but in an interview with Al Roker after Whitney Houston's death, Aretha stated that she was not Whitney's godmother, but rather, a very close family friend. That said, Whitney thought of Aretha as a member of the family, and there are reports she called her "Aunt Ree" when still a child. But after Whitney died, reports also surfaced that Aretha and Cissy Houston (Whitney's mom) had a dispute and became estranged from each other; this may explain why Aretha began to disavow any relationship to the family.
