    ASHLEY!!!! Thanks so much for your support of my Mom, Bettye. I am that Terry, yes an only child and the only person, still here, who knows the Tea. I am one year older than her first single. After 40 years of off and on therapy, I am finally able to let go of both anger and shame because look at her now! Seven Grammy nominations, sung for both Presidents Bush and Obama. Her new album, “Lavette” will be out soon and it’s one of the best she’s EVER done. I’m excited ! My lil’ Mama has 99 problems, but being a groupie wasn’t one of ‘em! Yes, I’ve been working on a book for nearly 20 years b/c my life was directly impacted from the jump, but it needs editing. You funny af and thanks again for the love.💜✌🏽✨🔥😎

      Girl! Why come you ain't been said something? I didn't know we had a stars child on this channel, and you're welcome! I want your mama to have everything she deserves and more which is why I asked everyone to please support her! Her realness touched my spirit honey and your realness is touching me as well! I'm so happy you've been able to let go of the hurt and pain and yes your mama may have made choices some don't agree with but first off she LIVED and secondly like you said look at her now!⭐️⭐️
      Let us know when your book is done, and we will support it 💯 percent🤩🤩

Wicked Pickett he was a good friend of my uncle they use to hangout at the green hat that use to be on Linwood years ago in Detroit they use to get falling down drunk and high i understand he also was 5 or 6 hand full's and he didn't like Diana from what I heard he would treat her very bad until berry talk to him he was something else 😂 thank you I really enjoy your video's a lot!

    I was not aware of this artist and it seems like she paid her dues. I will definitely look into her music and see if I like any of her songs. I so surprised with all the sexual stuff back then VD was not a problem with unwanted preganancy. You said she only had one child she probably did not do as much as mention here or she had a good birth control method. Thanks for sharing and blessings to you and all in the days to come.

    Thanks Ashley 💞. I don't believe that something didn't happen to her, in 1958, at the age of 12, to hyper-sexualize her at such a young age. Somethin' was up, she heard something, saw somethin', experienced something, on a regular basis. She just ain't tellin' it.

      Not saying you’re wrong but truthfully, kids are truly interested and curious about things… just like kids who do drugs, no parent forced them to consume said drugs but they still try it out of curiosity. It’s not hard to believe that Bettye at age 12 was just very curious and open🤷🏾‍♀️

      @@alanabruno For that to be 1958, yeah, that was extremely open, as a child, to speak that way out loud (but, I guess at 12 y/o, she could have what they use to refer to as a "White Liver").

      @@alanabruno it’s more likely to see ppl drinking alcohol and doing drugs outside of your parents in the neighborhood which can peak a child’s interest in drugs and alcohol but with that same sentiment..a child had to see or hear something to be interested in sex. Or else they wouldn’t know what it is. Idk I kinda side with the original comment. She seen or heard something, or maybe she don’t recall

      @@yann7643 ma’am you’re not wrong as I said to the commenter in my own comment but your thinking is off… at 12, you’re developing sexually, hormonally, physically. It’s not far off for a kid to be curious in sex without knowing what it is or having been told about it. Just like when little children play with toys or other kids and look, touch, or observe private parts/body parts. No one has to tell a kid at that age about what the private parts DO, they’re just curious in wanting to know about it.

    Bettye was just TOO MUCH. I am surprised that she is STILL alive & kicking. If she did ALL THAT minus the career & money she wanted could you imagine what ELSE she would have done having the trappings of a successful music career, real money of HER OWN & all the fair-weather "friends" that accompany "success" in the music industry? Whew! Too much indeed.

    So Johnnie Mae pretty much used young aspiring singers of that time for some quick cash (she did the same thing to the Temptations) making them do shows and stuff and not paying them. She wasn’t tryna be no real manager 🤣 I wonder how many other people she pulled that with
