I can't believe I've lived through 60+ years of music and never heard her. Better late than never.

I'm in kind of the same boat, also I never discovered Ray Charles till about 4 years ago. The last album was amazing.

I have been following jazz, blues, rock and pop since 1967, and I first encountered her name today.

She truly is one of the most under appreciated singers - saw her live about 10 years ago she was outstanding. Check out her live performance of The Who’s ‘Love Reign’ a truly brilliant performance.

This is absolutely CRAZY. This is the best version of Crazy I have ever heard.

Bettye is simply the best singer alive on this planet.

Bettye's rendition of "Most of the Time" is priceless. Can't get it out of my head.

I love her voice. So hauntingly powerful

Glad to meet you Bettye LaVette. I am now a big fan of your soulful voice..... thank you

Oh my...Bettye, you have found my soul...where oh where have you been all these years? Music that stirs the soul...thank You

Mike Franzgrote In fact Bettye came back to light and on stages early 2000 ! I got the chance to see her Live in Paris when she released the sublime album I've Got My Own Hell To Raise and I had bought the album Souvenirs ( French edition ) about a year before and had been mesmerized by that recording :-D Since then I try not to miss her shows :-D Regards from London

YESSSSSSSSS SIR!

she really knows how to make a song her own. I love her phrasing, rasp and the way she toys around with the notes. SING

saw Bettye LaVette perform this in San diego at Anthology a couple weeks ago.... she was brilliant!!! Pure fire and passion. She did a book signing after of her new book "A Woman Like Me" (which I highly recommend) She was one of the sweetest people I have ever met..... if you haven't seen her yet, you gotta experience it once in your life....

I've lost this song years ago and now I finally found it back. I'm never losing it EVER AGAIN.

I saw Bettye perform last night at the Vancouver Wine and Jazz concert. I love Bettye. Powerful blues. BAM! ZAP! POW!

Dear Bettye, We caught your show in the Factory just a few days ago 5/4 and have never heard such intesity from anyone and we have seen so many great artists over the 50 years that you have been performing no one not even Stevie Wonder, Ike and Tina, Muddy Waters ,the Band, Taj Mahal , the Wailers , Lee Perry etc etc caused me to cry but you. We love you and hope you make a fortune from your artistry. Sincerely your ,Ilkka and Marjut Tarjavaara

ALL SONGS SUNG BY BETTYE LAVETTE TURN INTO WORKS OF ART

Great interpretation. The amazing Madame Betty Lavette!

Now that I've discovered Bette I can't get enough.

She sang at the Kennedy Center Honors for Townshend and Daltry, Love Reign O'er Me. Tremendous voice and arrangements

I can't even begin to comment on how great Bettye LaVette's music and voice sounds. So many wonderful adjectives to describe her greatness. I could listen to her all day every day. Real music!!!!!

This woman rips at my soul in the most delightful way!

its 2024, and i cant believe that i have just discovred this lady, i love her singing.. i think she came to tucson,az a few years ago,but i paid no mind...now i listen to her , time after time...unique voicals.... she hits you right in the center..

All, I can say is wow, what a great version of this song it almost not recognizeable from it original. Bravo! I was not aware of this artist and Ashley Said So did a video cover her as a subject and it got me curious to hear some of her music. It excellent that she is findiing her second wind, wishing her much success.

Letting go completely while still keeping it totally together; real soul. If anything, Bettye lets go even more severely live, yet still, never a miss-step. She's the one.

she is the one,,,,,

Belfast Festival's Music club kicked-off last night -20/10/14- with a stunning performance from Bettye LaVette and her band. This "elfin" woman on the wrong side of 60, wowed the Belfast audience as she strutted and sashayed and belted out many of her favourite songs spanning 50 years of touring. Bettye would be unknown to many as her music career peaked in the 60's with her best known track "Let me down easy" Despite being up there with Aretha and Tina her record producers never fully supported her and as she herself jokingly remarks "it has taken me 50 years to be an overnight sensation..." and sensation it was. My favourite performance was when Miss LaVette begged a senior moment, sat down on stage, took off her Jimmy Choo's and legs crossed delivered a beautiful powerful soul ballad, "Souvenirs" Bettye- I thank-you, Belfast thanks-you...long may you continue to sing and get the recognition you rightfully so deserve...

Binge watching Scandal and heard I Ain't The One. Love this woman's voice

My favorite version of this song. Wow, the angst pores through every syllable.❤.

I've seen her yesterday on stage, she was just amazing,

OMG..Craaazy!!... really 'hearing' this song for the first time... this is THE best rendition..beautifully done

Its amazing how artists like Bettye LaVette and Jimmy Scott can rephrase a work and, by emphasizing certain lyrics over others, change even the son'g's meaning.

Scandal brought me here love this !

Such an amazing performer. We caught her at a small club and were blown away and fans for life!

Wow - makes it sound like a Bond movie theme. Wonderful voice.

What an astonishing voice...heard her on News Years eve on Jools Holland....just had to check her out. Brilliant

There are not so many great Souls anymore like Bettye !

CRAZY-- 2 thumbs up Queen Bettye

Love the serendipity that is taking place now!

One of my fav Gnarls Barkley songs. This is a great rendition.

A classy and truly remarkable performer. Bettye, we love you, baby.

Your "Crazy "Good Bettye... You've helped to embrace that fine line between sanity and Insanity... "There was something so pleasant about that place... even your emotions have an echo in so much space ..... but it wasn't because I didn't know enough.. I just knew too much...." Beautifully done Bettye LaVette xo

There was something so pleasant about that place. Maybe we're both crazy.

remarkable voice and talent..

The tv show "Scandal" introduced me to this fantastic song and artist.

Bettye, I feel every word, you are the best!

Ditto Brent and I've been here 76 years! Only came across her with the signature song on the "Low Winter Sun" streaming series in SBS Australia.

Heard it on Scandal and had to find it!!! Thanks!

One of the best. Thanks Bettye

God I love her!!

Thanks for putting available her music on youtube!

Yes, Ma'm. *Love* that growllll and slide. Emotion translating directly into sound. Mr. Green just got a beat down, but it was beat down from a Queen, so that should help ease his pain.

Oh, my god! That's beautiful!

Fantastic song and fantastic version!

Never heard of her till tonight

Omg..I love this!

here after ODESZA's "The Last Goodbye" collab. Can't believe it's taken so long for this gem to get her due

Been a while since I listened to something like this or seen this genre of music performed live. Miranda Huiskamp brought me here :) Thanks hun x

Love this version!

Just discovered her because she does a cover os "Streets of Philadelphia" on "Ladies Sing the Boss."

She’s like a cross between Aretha and Bonnie Raitt!! Amazing

Love this woman

ABOLUTELY AMAZING !!!

Love her... soul!

omg.....wonderful...ty

YOU ARE SO AWESOME BETTYE.... MY # 1

BEAUTIFUL SONG !!!

i love Bettey LaVette

You are wonderful!! I really hope to see you in Victoria bc Canada at jazz fest

It’s a crime that radio stations are so limited in their selections

it only makes you crazy if you talk about it at work!

J aime ecouter ces musiques. Cet du relax

This song was featured on KXCI 91.3 in Tucson

love this, also Ceelo's!!

Fantastic sound.

Justin Hayward got me here ,glad i have! Powers of interweb! ;)

During the motown era this beautiful voice was not played on mainstream radio because of the color of her skin.

"Crazy" by Gnarls Barkley was largely based on "Last Man Satnding" by Gian Piero and Gianfranco Reverberi. Unlike the original song (I - III - VI - V), the chord progression here is: I - VII - IV - V. This diverts from the original composition in the 2nd and 3rd chord. 3rd chord: IV (minor) instead of VI (major), is an easy and more accurate substitution as the two chords are relevant. The III to VII, however, gives a total change to the 2nd chord of the song, which makes it less appealing to me. Very soulful arrangement though.

I need to feel this on a tarantinos. damnt

The One and Only BLV.

I have never heard of her, but like They say Copying is the Best sign of Flattery You need to know what You’re doing is Great. I hear Marla Glen in her rawness and her Soul. And when I saw Marla Glen I thought she was different, not knowing where she got her style from.
