Bessie Regina Norris (that’s the real name of singers) is born in 1953 in Florida. She became famous: in 11 years has performed in the show talent, but in 12 signed the first contract with major label ATCO. The reason was her singing talent and generous vocal range: Betty Wright (had already taken this a stage name), she could sing low, with a surprisingly charming low velvety tone.
But could a high, nervous, sublimely high, breathy, or falsetto. Even got to the register, which is called the whistle register and which is generally considered to be the highest (whistle, if verbatim, is whistling).
besides, Betty Wright herself writing hit songs and was very good. Therefore, we were able to compete with other black singers, even a Diana Ross… And quickly became a star of the disco music 70-80.
the Hit Dance With Me (duet with Peter brown) has since been considered classics of this musical style. And its probably the main song Clean Up Woman Betty wrote when she was only 17 years old. And this track eight weeks was ranked second in the world charts.
Among other hits of the singer: What Are You Going To Do With It, Baby Sitter, Let Me Be Your Lovemaker, Tonight Is The Night.
And for Where Is The Love? she won the first Grammy in the category “Best song in the rhythm-n-Blues”. In addition to this award from Betty Wright were also six nominations for Grammy.
a rock star willingly invited her to sing with him. Very juicy and versatile vocals, musical sensitivity, human warmth, beauty, and the ability to accurately adapt to different styles.
Therefore, Betty Wright sang and stadium rock (hit No Tricks Alice Cooper), and art-rock at the junction with the funk (What Are You Gonna Do With It – with Stevie wonder), and a lengthy, meditative alternative funk with elements of ethnics in collaboration with Erica Badu.
Her gift is appreciated rappers in 2016 along with Kendrick Lamar , DJ Khaled and big Sean, she recorded the hit joint Holy Key.
