    Betty Lavette - Heart of gold

    I know Miss Bettye recorded this one for Atco in '72, but it is just sooooo good and she is Motown artist!

    She is one of those rare singers, like Billie Holiday that makes you feel what she is singing. Aretha was like that too.

    Bettye is a true survivor, everybody should read her autobiography "A Woman Like Me", one of the most sincere and "real" that I've ever read. And very funny too !

    It's real alright. I doubt that she held back on anything. I wish all biographies were that self-reflecting, raw, and revealing.
