Rest in Peace Betty Wright


It's proving to be another particularly bad year for losing iconic musical artists.

I have only just caught up with the news that Betty Wright has died of cancer. She was only 66.

I have always been a big fan of hers and her records have featured here many time over the years.

I'm feeling really sad right now.



Rest in peace Betty.

Difficult to believe Betty was only 14 when she recorded this (the B side to The Best Girls Don't Always Win, released in December 1968) and she had already had five other single releases.

That was sad news. I hadn't realised until the news that she was only 66. Always thought she was older, obviously due to the early start.

Hope you are both back to your best
