Listen to this man. Seven years of college, you know. Trying to reason with 2020 and, now, 2022.

Music Deaths: Betty Wright, Sang 'Cleanup Woman'

BETTY WRIGHT, 66

Died 10 May 2020

Singer of Soul and R&B.  Had 33 R&B songs on the charts.

Born Bessie Regina Norris and used Betty Wright as stage name.  Her best-known song was "Cleanup Woman"  (#6-1971) and "Dance With Me"  (#8-1978).

I really only knew "Clean Up Woman" so went to You Tube and listened to other songs and I wish I had known more of her songs.  If you like 1970s female soul and R&B singers, she is the gal for you.

I especially liked "He's Bad, Bad, Bad."
