Betty Harris

Tonight, New Orleans women is the focus of tonight's special show.

Before Tony Washington doing Good Things, we heard from Betty Harris, Trouble With My Lover.

I'm trying to limit it to one record per artist, otherwise I could do a whole show of Betty Harris.

She's one of my all-time favorites.

She's still, uh, performing, as far as I know.

I cry because I feel so sad Knowing you won't be around The thought of losing you It hurts through and through This heart of mine Yeah, this heart of mine Oh Oh, my love, I can't deny It's buried deep inside This heart of mine, yeah This heart of mine Please, don't ever leave my heart It's so great

oh that was a nice section sometimes you hear tracks so often that you forget how good they are and uh for me that's a case in point with that last track from 1965 absolute classic northern soul the artistics and this heart of mine on okay From 67, before that we had Betty Harris on Sansu, I'm Evil Tonight.

Another Betty before that from 1965, and that was Betty Lovett, a great double-sider, written by the winning team of Joe Armstead, Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson.

And Betty Lovett was just 19 when she recorded this.

There's this track.

by this New Orleans soul singer named Betty Harris.

Am I getting that name right? I think it's Betty Harris.

It's a track called There's a Break in the Road.

And the backing band was The Meters plus, God, it's so hard to think while I play, Alan Toussaint.
