Fantastic. Best of luck with this. I'm going to stick this thread for a while so it can be seen by as many as possible. Go Bettye.

Thanks so much.

I caught Bettye's concert this past weekend at the Toronto Jazz Festival and she was fantastic. It was my first time seeing her and I hope to see her again. I was disappointed because I had to leave a little early to catch my bus, so I missed the encore, which I heard was awesome, as well as the meet and greet. Next time!!

I was so impressed with her energy and youthfulness. The way she moves on stage is incredible. A true survivor. Can't wait to read her book.

Carlo,
The majority of these so called young divas can't hold a candle to Bettye, the ultimate pro.

Carlo, I hope you didn't miss Heaven. It's usually the last song before the encore.

I stayed as long as I possibly could and took a chance. Fortunately I got to hear her sing "Heaven". I'm glad you mentioned it because it was the highlight of the evening for me and inspired me.
