A heartfelt tribute to a true soul legend, Legacy: The Complete Janus Works compiles all of Cissy Houston's iconic Janus Records-era recordings into one definitive double album gatefold package — released in honor of the beloved artist who passed away in 2024. Mother of Whitney Houston and a powerhouse vocalist in her own right, Cissy steps boldly to the forefront here, delivering the kind of rich, mature soul performances that cemented her status as one of the genre's most gifted voices. With arrangements by Bert DeCoteaux that perfectly balance orchestral swell with space for her voice to breathe, this is soul music at its most commanding.
For the first time, these Janus Records recordings have been gathered together in a single collection, making Legacy an essential listen for fans of classic soul and funk. As an RSD 2025 Import and Official Selection of RSD UK 2025, this release brings renewed attention to a body of work that deserves to be heard and celebrated by a whole new generation of music lovers.
