John Russell Houston Jr. entered the world on September 13, 1920, in the bustling metropolis of New York City, New York, USA. Throughout his life, he would experience the joys and challenges of marriage not once, but twice, first to the lovely Cissy Houston and later to Barbara Houston. Unfortunately, his life came to a close on February 2, 2003, in Trenton, New Jersey, USA, leaving behind a legacy that would continue to inspire and influence generations to come.
Cissy Houston (born Emiola, 1933-2021) was a renowned American gospel singer, known for her powerful voice and incredible range. She was also the mother of the legendary Whitney Houston, one of the best-selling music artists of all time.
Barbara Houston (date of birth and death unknown) was a talented musician and singer in her own right, and her marriage to John Russell Houston Jr. was a significant chapter in her life.
