I have called Bettye LaVette the best singer on the planet, because her ability to find the depth and qualities of songs,that even the people who wrote them didn't know existed. I am prepared to spend most of the next time I see Bettye with her amazing band live, weeping for joy. Love you madly.

God, I love this woman. She always lays out her heart and raw feelings in every song she sings... so everybody who's being brave every day can stop for a moment and actually feel what they feel.
