The Sweet Inspirations by The Sweet Inspirations - Uhune

ALBUM

Together in various permutations since the 1950s, the Sweet Inspirations (which included Cissy Houston) were the female back-up singers that sweetened some of the most important soul recordings of the '60s and '70s. They also performed as a group unto themselves, garnering some chart action along the way. This was their first album, recorded in '67, and though it contains mostly covers of the hits of the day, the Sweet Inspirations infuse their unique charm and skill into each number. This is a must-have for girl-group aficionados and soul music historians everywhere.
