And lastly...here's Part III of the Bettye Lavette career retrospective...ENJOY!

Here is the last installment of a 3 part retrospective of the Queen.....Ms. Bettye Lavette!! These tunes are drawn from her albums, past and present. There are cuts released and unreleased, some singles, and some 'B' sides. This is not a complete discography, or anything like that...if you like this, you can find most of these albums. I hope you do. She's been a big favourite of mine for years. I am so glad she is finally getting the recognition she deserves for her amazing talent.

Here's the link to Part III.
