Heard of The Drinkard Singers? The Newark, New Jersey familial vocal ensemble was the first gospel group signed to a major record label. At one point, they were led by Emily "Cissy" Drinkard… and included Doris Troy, Cissy’s nieces Dionne & Dee Dee, and adopted niece, Judy Clay. #OneHitWondered

Cissy Drinkard became Cissy Houston, the two-time Grammy winner and icon of American gospel & soul. Oh yeah, and she had a daughter named Whitney (who also did some singing and acting). #CissyHouston #WhitneyHouston #OneHitWondered #MusicSky
