Part II of the 3 part Bettye Lavette career retrospective...

This is coming a little later than I like....but here is Part II....enjoy!!

Again, this week I'm highlighting the Queen, Ms. Bettye Lavette, with a 3 part retrospective, 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 II. (CORRECTED on 8-1-2011)
