Backing Singer

[postman44]

Are you lonesome tonight had a backing singer who's mother was a famous singer and film star. Any help please thank you,

[aelmpvw]

do you mean daughter? Cissy Houston, Whitney Houston's mother?

[emmie]

whitney wouldn't have sung on that song it was too early for her.

[aelmpvw]

no, but her mother cissy did

[aelmpvw]

i think the question should ask for backing singer's daughter . . .

[bobbinwales]

It was Cissy Houston, altho its a trick question in that this wasnt on the original sversion but was on the 1969 comedy version.

The question seems mixed up again though. Cissy had afamous daughter but did she have a famous mother?

Did you find the answer to the Elvis "have I told you lately' question? That one seemed muddled to?

[bobbinwales]

Do you get these off the radio postman as they often sound a bit muddled- lost in translation??

Brilliant thank you everyone for your confirmation much appreciated as always

I've had answers disallowed, even though I have researched and know they are correct, because my answer is different from the setters.

Bobbinwales. The quizmaster said Ricky Nelson for have I told you lately. I agree with you it was Elvis Presley who recorded it first
