Sissy Houston, mother of Whitney, was the lady who founded the girl-group, the Sweet Inspirations. During the 60’s they were in tremendous demand as back-up singers on several records by Wilson Pickett, Dionne Warwick, and Aretha Franklin. They even did backing vocals on “Brown Eyed Girl” by Van Morrison. However, they are best known as Elvis Presley’s background singers in the 1970’s on his records and at his concerts. Sissy’s first single, “Bring Him Back,” on Congress Records is now worth up to $125.00. A copy of the album, “Sweet Inspirations,” from 1979 on Koala Records can get you $750.00 today.
