    Tammi Terrell burst into her dressing room wielding a gun - Bettye LaVette Interview

    She grew up in Detroit, birthplace of Motown, where the party was never-ending, but the rivalry was as big as the bouffants. On one occasion, Motown’s Tammi Terrell burst into her dressing room wielding a gun to boast she could “out-sing” her on “any day of the week”. Berry Gordy Jr, the label’s founder, never brought her on to his sparkling roster.

    Who did sign Bettye to Motown?

    Love her interviews just as much as her music. Always honest.

    That was a wild read. I love Bettye. They released her Muscle Shoals sessions from the early seventies on vinyl a couple years ago, and it is fantastic!

    I can see Tammi doing something like this! Tammi started out young, so she had to be able to take care of herself.
