Travelin’ music? SHE’ll tell you about travelin’ music!
Bettye Lavette’s been around a while. In fact, if you were touring back in the early ’60s with the likes of Ben E. King, Otis Redding and James Brown, and you’re still at it today, you qualify as an authentic R&B veteran. That’s a marathon runner in the musical world.
And as you’ll see if you watch this remarkably emotional performance from just a couple of years ago, Bettye does not sell her audience short. To the contrary, she sells everything she’s got and then some.
Ladies and gentlemen, to kick off the weekend, I give you the fabulously soulful Miss Bettye Lavette!

SoCoBro: Maybe some are afraid that if they engage their brain cells, that will zap precious energy from their ability to be macho or something.
Too funny!! But oh so true……………….
Also SoCoBro – the conversation we were having earlier yesterday(?), eg: AA children and the effect that foods laden with hormones are having on their bodies; saw this and almost threw up. Doesn’t mention if the mother knew, or when she found out, but if it was my child, i would’ve taken her to see the abortion doctor.
Man gets 25 -56 years for impregnating 11 year old girl
This is a case of a child’s body maturing before her mind had a chance to mature — she didn’t even know she was pregnant OR what had happened to her. Too sad.

Concerning “the dawgs” – WHY are we surprised? How many times, how many years have fans hearts been broken because of “The Dawgs” almost ascension into greatness?

I believe there is a special little closet in the boiler room under the basement of hell just filled with loads of payback for people who do stuff like that.
I researched as much as I could about the case and what I found out was that he was dating the mother of the litte girl, the little girl (even though she didn’t know what was going on) AND he had two more women on the side.
It made me sick to death. First because I was wondering about the little girl’s mother…….
Did she not NOTICE that her daughter wasn’t menstruating every month?
Did she not NOTICE that her daughter was sick/ getting fatter/ had “funny” stomach aches etc.?
WHAT type of woman, who’d bring into her home and have around her daughter, some man she knew less than a YEAR?
Are there women out there, (O.K. — BLACK women); so hard up for love and affection that they are willing to accept ANYTHING just to say that they have a man? Wait, a BLACK man.
I have plenty of sistah girl friends who’ve I’ve known since college, who swear they’d NEVER date a white guy. They’d rather save themselves for some mythical IBM (Ideal Black Man), that they’ve made up in their dreams — and year after year they’re getting older, still childless, and still alone. Yet they’re still holding out hope that their IBM will come and sweep them off their feet.
I’m ranting I know. Im just sick of crap like this. Why did the mother ALLOW her child around that monster? Why didn’t her daughter feel comfortable enough to TELL her mother what happened to her? And if she did, why didn’t her mother believe her?
What’s the price of love? Sacrificing your children and your dignity? For what?
