Bettye LaVette: Finally...
David Nathan, SoulMusic.com, 2005
THERE ARE any number of R&B songs we could use as a cliché for the title of this article on the super-soulful Ms. Bettye Lavette. Try Chuck Jackson's 'Good Things Come To Those Who Wait' or Jimmy Radcliffe's 'My Ship Is Comin' In'. Or Etta James' 'At Last' or Diana Ross' 'It's My Turn'.
