What famous singer was Whitney Houston's godmother?

Until Whitney's death in February 2012, most media sources said it was Aretha Franklin. But since Whitney died, there seems to have been a falling-out between Whitney's mom (Cissy Houston) and Aretha, and when Aretha was interviewed on the Today Show by Al Roker, she denied being Whitney's godmother, and said she had only been a friend of the family. But it was widely reported for years that Whitney thought of Aretha as a part of her family, even calling her "Aunt Ree," and it was also widely reported that Aretha was in fact Whitney's godmother. We may never know the full story.
