Bettye LaVette is a true legend with a musical career spanning more than 60 years, she is now rightly recognized as one of the finest vocalists and one of the great interpreters of song. Her discography spans five decades, but it is within the past decade that she has finally been recognized as one of America’s finest vocal talents. In June 2024, she joined the Rolling Stones during the Chicago leg of their HACKNEY DIAMONDS tour.
Hailed by The New York Times as “one of the great soul interpreters of her generation, Bettye is a soul survivor who burst onto the Detroit scene in 1962, and her latest LP, the Grammy-nominated LaVette!, is her third with producer Steve Jordan. “Bettye LaVette is like a combination of Frank Sinatra, Billie Holiday, and Miles Davis,” says Jordan. “When Bettye gets a hold of a song, it becomes her song. It’s like she wrote it. She’s a great messenger.” At the time of printing, Bettye had received a Grammy Nomination for Best Contemporary Blues Album for her album LaVette! This is her seventh Grammy Nomination. We’ll be rooting for her when the Grammy’s air on February 24!
