Ain't that a great whistle note? I really love this perfomance!

[@carolamoore72]

Her range was absolutely ridiculous! I have heard high notes before, but there is no one, I mean who can even come close to her whistle notes, and she could hold it to, amazing!

[@hotboironj]

😮WOW !!

[@haroldsmither8378]

Queen of Florida Soul....those WHISTLE REGISTER NOTES were beyond GREAT! The execution is flawless: BETTY WRIGHT IS RIGHT!

[@utterbullspit]

I ain't know Betty could SANG like this. She did that!

[@alexiapurnell8801]

This is true singing!! Nowadays they have auto tune for this.

[@jaysmit8673]

I love a woman that can SANG!

Maravilhosa, uma diva realmente. Nesse show tem um trecho que ela brinca imitando o All Green, Tina Turner e outros. Pra mim, ela é a maior de todas. Detalhe que ela estava grávida nesse show aí. Incrível!

Não acreditava que ela conseguisse fazer a voz de apito ao vivo .. E ela foi até mais alto que a gravação original.. Agora encontre alguém que dê uma voz de apito igual a dela .. Realmente . Que técnica.

I am blown away by this performance, I heard it briefly once, and something sounded so familiar I had to look for and listen to it again. I'm so glad I did, cuz Betty just rocked my world with her vocals! Loooooove listening to ol' jamz!

[@earvetta]

The first time I saw Betty Wright was in Pensacola Florida This was way before she became well known, saw her in the Chitlin' Circuit at Abe's 506 club on the Block, there was a concert every weekend between Mobile Montgomery Pensacola Birmingham of all the artist from that era. The block was located downtown off Cervantes Street you were within walking distance to several clubs, the Bonny club Abe's 506 the Elks William Washington supper club Last Call etc.

One of the most difficult songs... and betty is one of the underated singers...😢 her whistle register is incredibly strong, but MC's the cleanest...

[@thislovesposessingme]

Can we not bring up MC? She didn’t create the whistle register. Betty’s is just as clean

[@nicolette6186]

So incredible ❤ she sang so well.
