Were Whitney Houston's parents famous

Answer 1

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. Whitney's father, John Russell Houston Jr., was not an entertainer; he was a businessman and managed Whitney's career for a while. But her mom was far better known than her dad.
