Soul heaven, and magnificently comprehensive: the Northern anthem in amongst Chicago riches like top-notch Curtis songs you may not have heard and stone classics getting their first run out. Jerry’s younger bro.

Funk and soul from mid-seventies Detroit — with that layer of gritty sophistication you find in Marlena’s Blue Notes, and Esther Phillips’ Kudus of the time.

Tracks from a career of more than forty years, several rare or unissued. The pianist/composer/arranger/producer in collaborations with Captain Beefheart, The Monkees, Frankie Laine and The Tubes, amongst others.

This is a system test record.

1965-67 recordings for John Dolphin’s Los Angeles label, including — amongst numerous original compositions by Bettye herself — the classic chart-topper Make Me Yours.
