4 out of 5 stars I for one love Cissy Houston.......2006-12-19

I'm sorry the Whitney kids are put out by this, but as for me, I'm pleasantly surprised by the talents of her mother. I've always known her as Aretha Franklin's back up singer, and as a gospel singer, but am enjoying listening to Cissy Houston as a pop singer! Whitney and I are close to the same age and so we were teenagers during the disco era, and I'm used to the very danceable sound. It's a 70s record!

Cissy's voice is an earthier version of her daughter's, and to my ears it's more pleasant. There is an exquisite song, "After You", made famous by her niece, Dionne Warwick. I also love the song "Love Don't Hurt People", and "Warning, Danger" kind of has that "Burn, Baby Burn" groove that's fun to dance to! This whole album gives me a whole new perspective on Cissy's career that I hadn't realized. She's kind of stayed in the shadows, either as a background singer, or as the mother of Whitney, or as the aunt of Dionne. She should have come out front more, I think. Going to get to hear her again this spring in Tyler Perry's new film!

In my opinion, this really isn't a bad record if you give it a chance. Or, maybe it takes an older person to appreciate it.

3 out of 5 stars Shame.......2005-02-24

Like the other review says, this cd is deceptive but i also think it is a shame too.... The reason i say this is that it has got some really good tracks on it, the upbeat/disco songs are cool and should have been hits in the late 70's/early 80's. The biggest disappointment though is that you never hear Whitney and she would have sounded awesome on tracks like 'think it over' and 'somebody should have told me'.
Buy if u like some good, Loletta Holloway/Jocelyn Brown style disco, not if u wanna hear Whitney.

1 out of 5 stars DECEPTIVE.......2000-07-18

This is a Cissy album with Whitney maybe chiming in on back-up, though you can't tell. The tracks listed here are the same as the ones on A FAMILY AFFAIR, which also falsely implies that Whitney is an equal presence on the album. If you are looking for a Whitney album, skip this.

3 out of 5 stars THREE OBSCURE DISCO CLASICS.......2003-05-20

This album from the heyday of disco includes at least three underground club classics: Le's All Chant by the Michael Zager Band, a weird chant that was a disco Number One in 1978 and also made it big on the pop charts, Whitney's mom Cissy Houston's magnificent Think It Over, a real club stormer, and Andrea True's eurodisco hit What's Your Name What's Your Number, a song that really reflected the nature of those decadent disco days. Let's All Chant has been revived by many different artists down the years but none of these cover versions has the weird otherworldly sound of the original. Get this album for these dance classics, they're far better than most of today's Techno and House music.

1 out of 5 stars poor........1999-06-12

This album is not worth your money or your time. The only decent song is the first track, all the other are just imitations of it. I'll admit that I'm pretty picky about my disco music, this one doesn't measure up.
