I saw an interview with her on YTube where she says someone told her years ago that she "wasn't that good". Uhhm, would you like to retract that statement??? She's fabulous!
Too bad she was never given her time back in the day. Glad she has made an impact today. Great voice and she provides a wonderful version of this tune
Bettye recorded the awesome Tell Me A Lie LP on Motown in the 80's and the powers that be (fools) have not released it on CD...great singer deserves better and is one of the greatest alive...Bravo Bettye
Bettye does Motown in her own way & one of the greatest LP's from the 80's is Bettye's Tell Me A Lie which was on Motown but they did nothing with it but it is a solid classic...needs to be released on CD. This great singer is HOT!!!
Can you IMAGINE if Motown had asked Bettye LaVette to become the lead singer of the Marvelettes? History would probably have changed, placing "the Lettes" as the #1 female vocal group. Well, I can speculate, can't I?
She sounds incredible on all of these songs from the MotorCity recordings. She TAKES these songs from the original artists, just as Aretha used to do.

Great job Bettye and Ian - Bettye should have done an album for Motown of original Motown artist's songs.
