After a successful rehab period in 2006, Houston began recuperating her career in the public eye by attending the Carousel of Hope Ball in October 2006 and Clive Davis's Pre-Grammy Party in February 2007. Houston recorded the song Family First with Dionne Warwick and Cissy Houston for the soundtrack Daddy's Little Girls. Houston has also divorced Bobby Brown and gained full parental custody of their daughter, Bobbi Kristina. In July 2007 it was reported that Houston performed her classic duet 'Count On Me' with CeCe Winans at one of Winans' gigs [citation needed]. Houston also made a guest appearance at Swarovski's Fashion Rocks in London. Houston's comeback album release date and title are yet to be determined.
