Betty Wright: I Love The Way You Love (Alston)
Dave Marsh, Creem, May 1972
SOMETIME LAST spring, a single appeared called 'I Love the Way You Love'. One of the people I live with bought it; she said, "This is the new Barbara Lewis," and I laughed. I mention this with some chagrin, because I was wrong. Betty Wright is brilliant. She has a great voice, and when her material is good, she's brilliant.
