One of my mother's favorite singers is Betty Wright. So I decided to expand the "anything and everything" number of topics to include this singer. I actually wanted to feature Betty Wright in my blog for quite some time. Like a lot of my blog posts, though, I never got around to completing or starting them until they eventually get published. Anyhow, get ready for another post on "John's Blog Space!"
Off-Topic Note
Can you believe that I am nearing a unique milestone with this blog- 10 years of John's Blog Space? Ten years since my first ever post on this regularly-maintained blog will happen on January 23, 2019.Betty Wright
This blog post is about singer Betty Wright.
^ from: songkick.com - Get to know Betty Wright a bit with this blog post.
Betty Wright is an R&B singer born as Bessie Regina Norris. She was born on December 21, 1953 from Miami, Florida, USA. So Betty Wright is currently 65 as of the date of this initial blog post draft (January 13, 2019). Part of my motivation to blog about Betty Wright is because she is one of my mother's favorite artists. I do remember in my youth that my mother had one of her cassettes. Betty Wright would later create her own record label called Miss B Records back in 1985. One of the greatest accomplishments of her career is in being the first Black woman to go gold from her own record label.
I would say Betty Wright deserves some Hall of Fame recognition if not into any musical Hall of Fame.
Music of Betty Wright
Here are videos of Betty Wright and her singing. I would like to thank all the ones who allowed their videos to be embedded.
Clean Up Woman.
This is one of my mother's favorite songs. And to me, I like listening to it also. Never heard this song? Well here's your chance right here!^ Clean Up Woman - Betty Wright (1971)
No Pain, (No Gain)
Once for "Monday Motivation" on Facebook, I posted this song. So if you like my post so far on Betty Wright, here's a very good song of hers:^ Betty Wright - No Pain, (No Gain)
Tonight is the Night.
I don't know too many other Betty Wright songs, so I just picked one based on YouTube results. Sometimes, it's best to explore things for yourself and allow yourself to be surprised. Here is a little more Betty Wright for you in case you're liking this blog post. As a note, this song is a LIVE version:^ Betty Wright-Tonight is the Night
What do you think about her music?
Betty Wright: Final Thoughts
I don't know as much as I would like to about Betty Wright, but I surely respect what she has accomplished in her musical career. "Clean Up Woman" and "No Pain, (No Gain)" are two songs I know best from her. You can hear more of Betty Wright's music if you look her up on YouTube. If Betty Wright isn't in any musical Hall of Fame, I think she deserves some Hall of Fame love.

I would find it an honor to meet her, if given the chance.A Sad Update...
