I'm sure Sir Paul ia appropriate,ly honored and humbled - just as Daltry and Townsend were they heard Bettye's epic reading of "Love Reign O'er Me" at the Kennedy Center in 2007. I'm reminded of what Oits Redding said when he first heard Aretha's take on "Respect" -- "I just lost my song. That girl took it away from me."
Seeing Bettye tonight opening up for The Rolling Stones. I'm excited! She may not steal the show, but she'll be making a mark at Soldier Field Chicago! #Londonship #BettyeLaVette #Soul #soulful #FemaleVocalist #worldclass
This is the most unique and heartfelt interpretation of "Blackbird" I have ever heard. I saw Bettye live a couple years back, and it was one of the most intimate evenings. She is a National Treasure.
I want this sung at my funeral……her voice takes this to the depths of my soul. I’ll have the lyrics on the program so everyone can hang on every word. Yes I can just see it.
It's like I never heard the lyrics before, Betty made me listen deeply, she turned the whole song around expresses so much truth and love in her beautiful voice. I'm flawed. Thank you. xx
... BLACKBIRD ... THIS LIFETIME SONG WRITTEN AND PERFORMED BY MISTER PAUL McCARTNEY THROUGH THE YEARS HAD THE MASTER PRIVILEGE TO BE SING BY PETULA CLARK, NEIL DIAMOND, CARLY SIMON AND OF COURSE NOW FROM BETTYE LAVETTE !!! GREAT GIFTS FROM OUR PRECIOUS WHO SHAPE THE SOUNDTRACK OF OUR LIVES !!!

Marvelous and Betty gives a completely different meaning to the original song. A deeper and heartfelt interpretation.

I don't mean to be rude here. When is too old?
when the soul has taken flight
At what point are you too old to be asking immature questions like this?
Interesting interpretation but I still prefer the original.
