Never heard of her until hearing Odesza’s sampling of this song on the last goodbye. She deserves more!

Waoh! I just discovered this singer. I'm speechless. What a wonderful voice she has. I don't know if I've ever heard such a powerful voice in my life. And I adore the song too. I can't stop listening to it. Thank you so much Mr. Levine for putting this video on youtube.

I am embarrassed to say that I had never heard of Bettye Lavette until she was at the Kennedy Center Honors doing an outstanding job singing The Who's "Love Reign On Me". She is phenomenal. Her voices makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. Beautiful voice!!!!!!

I was priviliged to see Ms. LaVette in Louisville, KY in 2006. She brought the venue to its feet. This woman cam eout and wooed that crowd of white folk like a soul siren. She is a package of energy,voice and artist. Get her music and you will drop your jaw at her sound. One BAD lady!!!!

I wonder if anyone can help me, years ago a friend played me a single owned by her Mother, at a rough guess the single was dated late 60's early 70's, a cover of Reach Out by the Four Tops, sung by a Female soul artist, it had a similar feel to this but was very slow, a haunting, raw voice; i actually don't remember who this was by and have been searching for it ever since. I have looked but to no avail.

I've bought a couple of downloads of this song, in both cases the tempo is slower-somebody please let me know the title of the album or direct me to where I can buy THIS rendering of the song, being recorded in this video, now that it's the version I'm hooked on. It's a perfect thing. That little thing she does with her shoulders halfway through plays in my head dozens of times a day, too. Viva Bettye! Thanks very much.
