As Close As I'll Get To Heaven - Bettye LaVette

[@michaelkeller6613]

My God! This woman! This voice! The passion! - and her band! They **REALLY* don't make 'em like THIS anymore, and that really pisses me the Hell off to the point that I can't hide it!

[@soursop1972]

This beautiful voice was not played on mainstream radio during the motown era because of her skin color.....let that sink in as you listen to her voice.

Oooh Woman..U Do It For Me! Yes Ms Bettye... U Got The Last Laugh.

Thank you for performing at my event - I had to have you play last. Who could follow you?

I've listened to this song millions of times. But I just noticed Bettye accidently started the song with the wrong lyrics ...just because someone says they love you, it doesn't mean it's going to last forever.. And then she repeats the same lyrics a few moments later... This is a sizzling performance, and it's my favorite line in the song, but it's driving me nuts ... LOL
