Betty Wright Clean up Woman (live)

[@johncduff]

Awesome performance, great song! Just reminds me of how much today's music sucks. This was when music had soul.

[@kpitt1204]

My, my,my! She betta SANG! Ain't lost nothing over the years, and this song here? Classic song. I hear this and smell fish frying, pork on the grill, and a homemade pound cake! Sweet tea anyone?

[@screenwitch]

The talent here is mesmerizing. We forget what talent is I think.

[@kpitt1204]

She is so underated! She better go ahead and rap. This song never seems to go out of style. I have seen this clip, and probably commented earlier, but seeing it again makes me want to get up and dance.

[@janksta9094]

this is what i call music

[@mrmcdougald1978]

thats one bad ass band sounds just like the studio

[@92bravo]

Real talent. A master of the art.

[@educatorpoet]

This song is still funky! You betta say that Betty! Her voice is still as strong as it was back in the day. Classic!

[@rayaee]

She waz gettin it up there on that stage.

[@sweetpeepauline]

I love this lady, she is so talented and strong willed.

[@lucretiarchurch]

Go ahead and clean up with your WISE old broom Betty.-love ya.

[@liverpuddin22]

I so died at "Madonna gotta nasty broom" lol

[@baj7557]

I wish my clean up woman the best of luck with my ex. Let's see if you last 33 yrs. with him and not go crazy from his crap!!!!

[@wesnile30]

Real music. Back when it had real soul

[@balafu77]

Yeah betty you go gal.... This was such a great sample for Mary j bliges Real love.

[@rob191270]

Brings tears of joy to my eyes. Wonderful.

[@DaveHandler]

When R&B was R&B .. when it was real!

[@bluesriff]

Great song and let's not forget that those sweet funky guitar licks were created by the GREAT Willie "Little Beaver" Hale.

[@desktop1st]

I love her music, I grew up listening 2 her on Saturday mornings!!!!!!!

[@LovelyMignon]

Now that is how you command a stage and a band!

[@lpsling]

i played behind Betty at the Continental Club at the end of 62nd st in Miami in 1968-9. She was just a young kid but just as soulful. I love this tune..so funky.

[@edenalley2]

Amazing!! If this doesn't make you want to move, you've got some lead in your broom! :)

[@alghow]

Oprah got a big ole broom...lol. This is classic "Soul"!

[@tkethree]

MAN, this new generation has got it all wrong! This is REAL music....go head on Ms Wright!!!

[@hankhill456]

betty always knows how to treat her audience right. she especially starts to get it at 4:52 . i love me some betty wright

[@ROCKSTARCRANE]

I worked with Betty when she was 15 years old. Absolutely massive talent. And it should be noted that local guitarist "Little Beaver" arranged and played all the guitar parts on the original recording.

[@missjazzykristin]

I love me some Ms. Betty Wright thank God I have older parents because I wouldnt know anything about her w/o them..wooo

[@VincenzoPickatelli]

New meanin to the word Jammin !

[@Sugarbrown37]

Betty Wright has the best R&B voice ever, we love her in South Carolina... no fish fry... family gathering or cook-out is complete without playing the Betty Wright

[@lovelynann]

my girl still got it

[@jimy0803]

she does sound good. this classic still rocks and always will! Betty discovered the blue-eyed soul sister, Joss Stone.

[@numofan]

Are you familiar with the original? She has been doing "long" versions of this song in her live gigs since... well, since the single came out. The groove is perfect for dancing - like a FL version of old-school go go.

[@MissLibraLady]

I am only 19 and know this song. I love my grandparents for listening to music like this

[@Hulld414]

I love this performance....Betty Wright is a true Soul Legend. I'm so glad that I grew up in her era. Today's music ain't Shit!!!!

[@elkin76]

damn, she still sounds awesome! go Mizz Betty!!!!

[@Schnitzelschitzen]

My Good God, that's soul at it's best. these gifted musicians, this gifted woman is truly cleaning up.

[@ninosimone]

@LovelyMaxwell thats right she's not naked, her set is not over the top , its her presence and her talent , you see at the end of the day what really matters is TALENT

[@u2jelus]

I LOVE ME SOME MS BETTY

[@dls251]

Very good performance!!!! Keep up the good work!!!

[@Leo55BabyBoomer]

Mother always said be the best at what ever you do! If you're sweeping up for a living, "be the best sweeper anyone's ever seen!" That was some damned good advice and encouragement! You'd best believe whatever this man does, right or wrong, he cleans up! (Please keep in my I may quit that job the next day, however while I'm on the job I'll Be Cleaning Up1

[@zaj58]

HOLY S*%# . Completly blown away by this performance! Now thats soul with a capitol "S"

[@namartin2]

[@snjones99]

Go Betty... She was SO seriously underated.

[@MUSICENCYLOPEDIA]

@TheBbinca Betty was paying homage to those ladies who are making names for themselves in music and doing their thing

[@HealyDee]

[@amd77j]

Alright Betty! Sang it girl!

[@matureatlboy1]

One of the Best!!!!!! Love her!!!!

[@TheBbinca]

Ok I loved the performance...soul to the bone. Betty's still got it. But I didn't get the part about naming folk..Janet, Oprah, Madonna, Millie Jackson???? Am I missing something or is that somewhat of an insult? I hope she got their permission to use their names. Anyway, those musicians were fierce, especially the guitar section!!

[@jnsash003]

OMG! I'm tired after that. Awesome.

[@ginanies1966]

[@timedmusic]

I'm not sure if this includes tabs, but Tuck Andress has an instructional video in which he shows you how to play all the guitar parts (3 on the original recording) all at the same time! I found this out from a friend who is a fine, experienced rhythm guitarist who said his jaw hit the floor when he first heard and saw this done.

[@lockguy34]

[@AnneJoLuv]
