Can anyone tell me if there is a list of who was on backup on the songs Dionne recorded with Burt?
From what I understand, DeeDee was there most of the time (you can always hear her warm tone) as was Cissy Houston. In the earliest sessions I believe Doris Troy was there, along with someone name Myrna Smith who went on to be one of the Sweet Inspirations (and according to some sources is a cousin of Dionne, and I believe she may have toured with Dionne in the 90s). Did this lineup stay pretty constant, or were the changes along the way? Also was DeeDee ever a part of Cissy's group that worked with Aretha?
