Betty Wright Clean up Woman (live)

[Leo55BabyBoomer]

Mother always said be the best at what ever you do! If you're sweeping up for a living, "be the best sweeper anyone's ever seen!" That was some damned good advice and encouragement! You'd best believe whatever this man does, right or wrong, he cleans up! (Please keep in my I may quit that job the next day, however while I'm on the job I'll Be Cleaning Up1

[hork111]

My favorite David Letterman show occurred when Martha Stewart guested. Paul Shaffer and the band broke out with 'Clean Up Woman'. I damn near choked to death laughing!

[m2killer51]

surely as classic soul arrangement, but what youd think about the interaction between the guitar and the bass?

[peeples38]

@m2killer51 lol I noticed that too

[NiVeA5678]

i remember watching this performance...Michael Baisden show needs to come back on...it was really good and he always had the old school performers come on

[tonyah21]

Betty still got it and she looks good

[Hansier62]

Wow, the songs has been updated, where she sung about Mr. Al Green she sings about Madonna and Ophra, well done and a confirmation that this song is for all ages. Thanks for uploading and Betty, your my favorit!

She is so underated! She better go ahead and rap. This song never seems to go out of style. I have seen this clip, and probably commented earlier, but seeing it again makes me want to get up and dance.

[collegesinger]

@kpitt1204 I love Betty Wright

[ROCKSTARCRANE]

I worked with Betty when she was 15 years old. Absolutely massive talent. And it should be noted that local guitarist "Little Beaver" arranged and played all the guitar parts on the original recording.

[JUSLIKCANDI70]

[TheBbinca]

Ok I loved the performance...soul to the bone. Betty's still got it. But I didn't get the part about naming folk..Janet, Oprah, Madonna, Millie Jackson???? Am I missing something or is that somewhat of an insult? I hope she got their permission to use their names. Anyway, those musicians were fierce, especially the guitar section!!

[NewThingzz]

@TheBbinca she's complimenting them, not insulting them...

[MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

@TheBbinca Betty was paying homage to those ladies who are making names for themselves in music and doing their thing

[Sc0rpion]

@TheBbinca It's not that serious.

[transformerkid87]

Where all the ladies at with those brooms?????

[cybersalad]

What year is this? She's still got it.

[MGillDesign]

I just can't listen to this song without bopping my head.

(Anyone who can sit still when this tune is played doesn't know soul music).

[rayaee]

[TheUptowndown]

[miamivicepastels83]

@temptsfan2 lol!

[tarowell100]

I would love to see her live by herself. I can just feel from this clip that she could really throw down. It would also be nice if someone could promote a tour with all the bad women like Betty Wright, Millie Jackson, Denise Lasalle and etc.

[MrSexxxy20]

Betty is still sexy!

[lorraineedmay]

Great singer, does not look great. Health problems will always come when you are overweight.

[thadley2011]

[MusicalLyrica]

Betty should help some of those who started out with her in the sixtiies to reclaim and maintain their voices. I'm not naming names.

[blewis9505]

@MusicalLyrica Why? Ain't nobody "hepped" her do her thang. She doing it for herself and them others need to do what they know if they want to keep on getting paid. Ms, Betty don't need nobody helping her cash them checks.
