}}Presenting Cissy Houston is the debut album by American soul singer/backing vocalist Cissy Houston, originally released on Major Minor Records in 1970 in the United Kingdom.[3] Her contract was sold to Janus Records the same year.[4] They released the album in the United States as Cissy Houston in 1970.[5] The 2012 CD re-release on Cherry Red Records incorporates bonus tracks from later recordings.[6]

The album features a pop/soul cover version of "I Just Don't Know What to Do with Myself", written by Burt Bacharach and Hal David, as well as covers of Bobby Darin's "I’ll Be There" (which became a top 20 R&B hit for her), Melanie's "Any Guy", Sam & Dave's "When Something Is Wrong with My Baby", The Ronettes' "Be My Baby", and The Beatles' "The Long and Winding Road". The CD bonus tracks include her 1972 version of "Midnight Train to Georgia", which was later covered with huge success by Gladys Knight & The Pips.
