Elton and Betty White were street performers along Venice beach, Ca when I shot this in 2000. Dont know where they are now but they were quite a hoot. Betty was 74 back then I believe, I bet she's someone's grandma! She sure does have some spunk for age and considering she came from a different erra. Betty is from Arkansas, not sure where she met Elton. If anyone has nay info on these two entertainers please post...

I lived in Little Rock until last year, they were a local legend there. I'll never forget one night when they were on KABF, the song that got me was called "My Tongue Melts for You Baby..."
I moved to Little Rock after Betty White and Elton White left here for California, but they made a real impression on folks here. I have a very rare CD of 26 of their original songs, cannot be purchased anywhere. Betty was the valedictorian of her high school class in Mabelvale, Ark. According to her obituary, she married Elton in 1989 after she divorced her military husband... Imagine! I only wish I could have known them personally, but this video is great, real folk artist.

I am not sure about copyright issues for their work. Betty has died, but had children; I have no idea if Elton is still alive or not. If anyone knows about this issue, I might consider posting MP3s if it would not transgress Betty's children or Elton. Their music is "polished primitive". It is not sophisticated, but they obviously had practiced it a lot... and had a great delivery.Sort of like Grandma Moses' paintings.
There is a magazine called Oxford American that has a music issue out right now that includes a 6 page article about Elton & Betty - their lives and their music. It's really a beautiful tribute and offers some insight into the interesting life they had together.
elton and betty white were both from little rock arkansas-elton would ride his bike and they would preform at a club called juanitas and others on amature night-they were quite the fixture here until they moved to san francisco-they appeared in some local editions of nightflyer a local music paper in little rock also...tooth

Would it be at all possible to get some mp3s of that CD?
