SWEET INSPIRATION A one-hour documentary for PBS, broadcast in 1988
A film portrait of a unique artist who “sings both sides.” Cissy Houston may be belting out gutbucket rhythm & blues in a smoky bar at midnight on Saturday, but at dawn on Sunday she is back in church wailing with her gospel choir. According to the Boston Globe: “An exquisite documentary. This is the story of a woman who has thought deeply about the roots of black music.”
