Review by Julio Peironcely
Step Aside For A Lady by Cissy Houston is a remarkable album that showcases the legendary singer's soulful voice and impeccable range. The album comprises ten tracks that feature a blend of gospel, R&B, and soul music, making it a versatile and dynamic listening experience.
Cissy Houston's vocals are the highlight of this album, and she effortlessly delivers each song with passion and conviction. From the upbeat "Think It Over" to the emotional "Love Is Holding Me Back," Houston's voice takes center stage and leaves a lasting impression.
The album's production is also noteworthy, with each track featuring a polished sound that enhances Houston's vocals. The instrumentation is well-balanced, and the backing vocals add depth and texture to the overall sound.
One of the standout tracks on the album is the soulful ballad "Midnight Train to Georgia." Houston's rendition of this classic song is powerful and heartfelt, and it is a testament to her ability to make any song her own.

Whitney was a backup singer on all of Cissy's disco songs. In fact, she hits the highest notes on "Think It Over."

i like discovering music by popular artists that i have never heard before. Mrs. Houston was a good artist and unfortunately highly underrated, in my opinion. As she got older, she finally got the recognition she deserved by the academy when she started winning grammys for her work in gospel.

This is one of my favourite disco tracks of all time. It's from.the 'Step Aside For A Lady' lp. I just adore it to the max. Yes....that's Luther Van Dross on backups too. Hearing this today made my year. Thank you so very much x
