[graceisahurricane]

wow... I used to think I would never be an amazing artist like beyonce because she was so original with the melodies and chord progressions in her songs... uhm, YEAH, I was so wrong! I like this song better anyway -_-

[Jecire]

Dont lose your self respect tryna get revenge cause no matter how you do it! You'll lose out in the end! So true

[lashannond]

Lol. NO HOMO is part of a song from the Saturday Night Live group THE LONELY ISLAND. They're like a comedy/rap group that's actually good! They sampled this song on their NO HOMO song...

[smcg36]

did u hear that yonce b?

[MissZindzi]

It's not quite a double standard, as every woman does not aspire to be a lady. Great song.

[0428mar]

Who cares who sampled this song.Its a great song regardless.

[shahryarization]

Apathy - Guys & Girls

[K33MALOV3]

I hate that this song is so short =\

[TheCounslor]

i remember this song from the 60s but never knew it was Betty Wright.

[sabag83]

Beautiful! Iconic Woman

[HaxxorsProduction]

NO HOMO! ...and something about Upgrade U.

[chung1chu]

Great Singer, Great Voice; but Beyonce is good too. Can't compare Bey with Britney. C'mon get real. By the way check out King Yellowman's Still Be A Lady. I no be today man.

[ryvrboatgambler]

nice song, classy black chick : ) (and I'm a white guy) : ) Beyonce is just a  Hollywood poser like Britney.

[sj4]

Beyonce Stole This Beat... Upgrade U

[MrRashaun8821]

[sj4]

@MrRashaun8821 Of Course

[THEREALTIZ1]

[Kango234]

[xiCandixTV]

This is Beyonce's "Upgrade U"

[cjacja21]

@xiCandixTV Its the other way round.... x

[loliana50]

this song is so true. guys can sleep around and they're just doing what guys do. but when girls sleep around they're whores, hoes, sluts and everything in between. b/c girls can't do what the guys do and still be a lady!!! so girls, take Betty's advice, let the guys do what they do but never forget to be a lady! no one likes a slut :/

[HaxxorsProduction]

@loliana50 Strange double standard though.

[DjSabsad]

@DeezDaDon haha ok well thats the track name :P lol

[DeezDaDon]

@DjSabsad I know it is obviously thats why i was quoting it so whats your point here?

[SuperBlackChic]

this was the 60s. she wasn't fully aware of women's full capabilities.

[jasonbillie]

@SuperBlackChic its not talking about regular things i think the songs really dealing with matters of love

listen to the words

[msladyj38]

I recall my older siblings listening to Betty....she is pure soul. This is what you call talent.

[Wibblesniff01]

New Lonely Island Album!! 'No Homo' and 'No Homo Outro'

[DeezDaDon]

@Wibblesniff01 lmfao thats how i got here

[mainforce88]

THIS IS THE SONG THAT BEYONCE GOT HER 'UPGRADE U' SAMPLE FROM.

[DeanoMcken]

let me let me Upgradeee ya. lol

[Amidat]

@DeanoMcken - the worst thing is that Beyonce advocates in her lyrics the exact opposite about what Betty Wright sings about

[kombos21]

art

[SouthKisses870]

This song is something serious

[TLK21975]

Betty was 14 when this song was released...14!!! Female artist now (no matter the age) can't compare to the 14 year old on this track!!!

[SuperBlackChic]

@TLK21975 you don't know that

[aaronjonesmiami]

i wish i was 16 again

[baybay101000]

Listen to this sing we can't do what guy;s

[skippbnj]

You know what she is saying is so biblical....all these woman tryna do what men do...and then the blasphemous part is that beyonce says in her song lemme upgrade ya....how is a woman gonna upgrade a man....dumb bitch shouldve listened to this song first b4 sampling it.

[wreepeet]

@skippbnj  AAAAA Man!

[skippbnj]

THIS SONG ISSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!!!! OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW!!!!!!­!

[farisflystudio]

I had no idea that beyonce sampled this song for her upgrade you song

[timmy841212]

No she was actually still 14 when this came out (summer of 1968). She was born in December 1953. :)

[CalypieAndroid]

@timmy841212 GIRLS LIKE BEYONCE KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS. ALL THE YOUTH IS NOT SLOW AND BRAIN DAMAGED FROM SCHOOL PRISONS.

[ladyknj]

I found this song one day when I read that Beyonce sampled it for "Upgrade U." Also found out Mary J. Blige's remix to "Real Love" sampled "Cleanup Woman." (Had never really paid attention to that one).

[TheAudivisioner]

A lot of "modern" women should take the meaning of this song very seriously.

A great mainstay song.

[fulani23]

upgrade!! B

[MySkiesAreBlue24]

this women is beautiful and has a voice to match!!

[jlosbabyboy]

Beyonce Upgrade U! WOW!

[thefrozencharles]

@jlosbabyboy i know i never knew this!

[wrightbrooks]

she was 15 when she recorded this wow

[linkinparkMikeShinod]

check out apathy - girls and guys, he sampled this song!!

[mnutt6098]

Betty is bad!!

[poetryselite]

Betty Wright's voice is as beautiful as it get's, but what impresses me even more is the fact that her material matches her unparalleled vocals. My generation of women should all be listenin to treasures like this... maybe then men would respect them more... SIMPLY BECAUSE THEY RESPECT THEMSELVES. Betty Wright's words touches the heart and pierces the soul.

[bilbo2shire]

Let's C! I loved me some Margaret Delorse Dugger at 13 and she liked me. 2800 Block of Lexington in Chicago in 1968: Shirley Jean, Marva Jean, Princilla, Joyce, Dot, Evelyn, Bell, El, Pap, Cynthia, Florinda and so many other pretty girls! Sure would like to know what happened to them all. they were "The Lexington Hell Cats" Softball Team at Altgale Park. bilbo2shire

[TheAudivisioner]

In this case, the B-side blew out the A-side.

Super soul song, nothing less

(And a lesson for the young ladies of the age)

[laron214]

does anybody have "circle of heartbreak" by ms. betty?

[chakafan2]

Great song. Beyonce sampled this in her song Upgrade.

[Heavensdoor05]

@chakafan2 yeaah and she did a great Job :d

[Swinglady1]

Love this recording. Betty is singing a true fact.

[Djeff70]

I think she was 15 when this came out

[bilbo2shire]

@Djeff70 Hey. She was actually 13 but they upped her age. The summer of 68 WVON played two songs over and over'; this one and "Big Boy Now" by the Jackson 5. Both were really big regional hits. The 2800 block of Lexington gave us a lot of memories then. bilbo2shire

[OCtheGreat]

Upgrade you

[BlaqueBelleza]

lol@this song ...what she is saying "girls dont do what the guys do and GET CAUGHT" those women were loose back then just like some of the women today...only difference the women bck then were more sneaky with it

[rockfiendable]

@BlaqueBelleza damn didnt think of it like that !!

[jewelscast]

Huge hit back then

[lovelynann]

remaining a lady should nerver change, it could be why 70% of black women are single and will stay that way

[MusicalLyrica]

@lovelynann What is the source of your figures? You mean black women are single because they are not ladies? Why are non-black women single? Are all non-single women happy, fulfilled, and satisfied?

[keexgiagiakeex86]

great song no doubt. muchos gracias!

[Classic63]

The summer of 1968 ! Great memories.

[GreatGonzoMusic]

Great! Thanks for putting this up... my fav song of hers!

[candyfro89]

beyonce sampled this for her "upgrade u" song....the original has nicer sounding instruments..

[MuffySimba]

Great soul song, but thank God times have changed.

[timmy841212]

Betty Wright's a true legend.
