LaVette proved to give the powerhouse performance of the evening at the Kennedy Center Honors in December when she sang her unparalleled version of Love Reign Oer Me as part of the Who tribute.

At the end you could see Barbara Streisand say to Pete Townsend "that was fantastic". I'll bet she was po'd that Beyonce sang her tribute song...

Where has this woman been? She shows up here and at the Lincoln Memorial concert and steals the show both times. She is amazing.
I love how at the end of this video Barbra Streisand leans over to Pete Townsend and asks him, "You wrote that?"
I guess Babs never thought to sing a Who song... Bettye is the bomb!

Saying "this shit sucks" shows how watered down music has become. This is from the heart BLUES music the way it was meant to be. Pete and Roger know the Blues when they hear it.
