About Bettye LaVette

Hometown

Muskegon, MI, United States

Born

29. Januar 1946

Genre

R&B/Soul

Bettye LaVette mußte lange auf ihren Durchbruch warten: Die 1946 geborene Sängerin landete zwar mit ihrer Debütsingle "My Man - He's a Loving Man" 1962 einen R&B-Top-Ten-Hit, aber danach blieb der Erfolg aus. Sie nahm zahlreiche Soul-, Blues-, R&B- und Funk-Singles auf, von denen aber einige nicht einmal veröffentlicht wurden - selbst ihr 1972 eingespieltes Debütalbum Child of the Seventies blieb bis 2000 im Archiv, das 1982 veröffentlichte Motown-Album Tell Me a Lie war erfolglos. Erst im neuen Jahrtausend erhielt ihre Karriere durch den französischen Soul-Sammler Gilles Petard wieder Schub. Ihr 2005 erschienenes Album I've Got My Own Hell to Raise landete 2005 auf vielen Jahresbestenlisten, seitdem konnte LaVette mehrere weitere Platten veröffentlichen. Für das Album Things Have Changed kam sie 2018 beim Jazzlabel Verve unter Vertrag.
