Bettye LaVette - "I Still Want To Be Your Baby"
10/01/23 • 22 min
1 Listener
Bettye LaVette is the epitome of perseverance. She cut her first record in 1962 at the age of 16, but it took over 40 years before she received the recognition and respect she deserved. In between, she weathered every injustice that the music business threw at her. But she never gave up, she never stopped working, she never stopped singing... in fact, she just got better. Bettye is more than just a singer; she's an interpreter who can transform any song into something new & special. On this episode, we focus on a track from her 2007 album The Scene of the Crime, and trace the path that brought her to this album-- one of my all-time favorites.
