I was listening to her just yesterday. I love "Make Me Yours", "Kiss My Love Goodbye" and "When The Game Is Played On You", among many others.

RIP Bettye.

I found this, which admittedly is quite light on details.

My goodness. I hope this isn't true. I literally just received the email from Soul Tracks but didn't notice the R.I.P.

it is not listed in many places and this listing says that she died in January, so why is it not more widely listed? It also says that Chuck Jackson died days agp. I did not know that either.

Sites are updating now and list that she passed away last month. We have lost so many recently

I was lucky enough to see Bettye Swann LIVE in 1968/69 with 5 Stairsteps, Impressions, & others. she was great "Don't Touch Me" was her latest. Rest In Peace...Condolences to her family.

Sad news, especially as it appears to have been back in January and only surfacing now. I'll be spinning a respectful playlist over the weekend and raising a glass "time to say goodbye". Rest In Peace lady.

Hopefully your latest update is correct then sir. For what it's worth, I had quite a few glasses on the Saturday, resulting in "I want Sunday back again" the following day.
