Artist Bio:
The Sweet Inspirations were an American R&B girl group formed in the early 1960s. The group was originally composed of Cissy Houston (mother of Whitney Houston), Estelle Brown, Sylvia Shemwell, and Myrna Smith. They gained fame for their soulful gospel-infused harmonies and powerful vocal performances. The Sweet Inspirations are best known for their work as backing vocalists for artists such as Aretha Franklin, Wilson Pickett, and Elvis Presley.
The Sweet Inspirations released several albums and singles during their career, including hits like "Sweet Inspiration" and "Why (Am I Treated So Bad)." They continued to perform and record music throughout the 1970s and 1980s, and their influence can be heard in the work of many contemporary R&B and soul artists. The group was inducted into the Vocal Group Hall of Fame in 2007 in recognition of their contribution to the music industry.
