Wow, what a fantastic piece of soul. I love everything about it. Betty testifies to max effect, and the guitar support is stunning. A real gem from a true legend. 

[BlondBeehive]

This woman is beyond great. Just ordered the CD. I am so happy that this great lady is finally getting her due. She moves me.

[goku21youtub]

[geoffrex1]

got it all

[sharonanony]

Betty called herself and Old Lady, but she said it as if it was nothing to be ashamed of. But to be Proud of, that she was not trying to be young.THAT SHE WAS JUST BEING HERSELF WHATEVER AGE.

Amy Winehouse - listen and weep

[AveRajala]

@Eamonnnn

and then shoot up

[beeman100000000000]

Her live performances have this youthful energy and sexy swagger that honestly make a young man forget he's watching an old lady. I was ready to fall at her feet. One hell of a performer.

[rodentcafeteria]

I'm sure she'd really appreciate being referred to as an "old lady." How would you describe Tina Turner - prehistoric?

[mmmaaasssrrr]

hahahaha

[lashea1934]

such a small person with a huge voice! i love her music!

[Hutchhaven]

Soooooo goooood. WOW in concert and a dear to chat with.

Love you BettyeLaVette

[ajvanderlinden]

yep

[joko9395]

That is so cool. Go head Barack!

[clairvoyant3]

Yes, no doubt of it!

[joko9395]

I can't wait for the HBO special /DVD which ever comes first.

[rodentcafeteria]

Is there a Bettye LaVette DVD that's coming out?

[joko9395]

Not sure ,would be great if she did/does. I was referring to the HBO special of the inauguration and the events.

[islezeus]

DAMN she's SANGING!

[SweetRandi]

This reminds of us me and you....sweet baby

[loadabollocks]

I love her so much, words can't express.

[secelin]

Hotter than fire...scorching....Bettye is the Queen......

[OliverPenn1]

Bettye LaVette is like a great dramatic actress. Every song is a tour de force of pathos & gut-wrenching reality. Audience reaction to her seething performances are similar to great actors watching Laurette Taylor in "Glass Menagerie" during the 40s -- mesmerized and transfixed.

[PhantomRasberryBlo]

She sure deserves the Grammy she's been nominated for!
