When I heard the sad news this morning that Betty had passed, this was the first video I sought out to remember her. Such a joyous experience for everyone in the room, Betty, the musicians, the audience, no doubt the technicians working the room. This is the value of a live, shared musician experience. Priceless. RIP, Betty.
WHAT'S THIS...guitars...funky bass...horns...real drums...vocalists who are really singing...ohmigod!!!! it's MUSIC-REAL MUSIC! You GO, Betty and Jools!
Omg, yes! It's utter crap and it's gotten so much worse since you posted this comment (ie stuff that folks are force-fed on 'popular' radio stations I mean). Hopefully things will go full circle and we'll all come back around to this kind of music instead. Fingers crossed! 🤞
What a legend of a singer and songwriter. She had such a powerful voice and looks like she’s always having fun on stage... RIP Betty you will be sorely missed but your music will live on forever... 💚❤️💚
WOW, this was a treat, she is looking great. I thought I was back in the 70's after watching this. Made me want to grab my platforms from the closet and start Boogieing Down.
What's the matter? Can't nobody do that today. Make it easy for the clean up woman. Betty wright you the best and you're showing it right now. I wish the young artists could do this. 40 years later still sound fresh, making it easy for the clean up woman !!!!!
WOOOOOOOwwwwwwOww Betty's Voice here is incredibly strong. Listen to her original in the 70's and listen to this and you can witness the evolution of a strong voice. Amazing
No ones does what Betty does, and I doubt anyone could. Not enough that she is a great singer in her own right, but she does a mean Tina Turner and a wickedly funny Al Green from her collection of voices. Incredible talent!
The fact that she didn’t have any dancers , no fancy choreography just her and her beautiful personality . She even had the White People in love with her .
This woman pulled me up on stage with her . It was so amazing.!!!!! She hired the band that I was with at the time, (CHICAGO) !! I was so off into her and it showed. !!! I was singing right along with her. I didn't think she would hear me over the sound. She did ... I'll never forget that moment. "BETTY WRIGHT!!! SURE YOU"R RIGHT !! OOO Weeeeee
Saw Betty in concert at Washington Park in Chicago. My My My!!! She was absolutely fantastic!!! One of the most fantastic performances I ever saw. That whistle register is everything!!! 🔥🎶❤️❤️❤️
Dear Sergio, the source audio quality of the video that uploaded is like you can see bellow. That was no good? I don't think so, for sure, it is great! Maybe the quality you said you mean about low level volume. So, listen this in a higher volume of your audio ampifier ... easy to think, easy to do :):):) Audio ID : 2 Format : AC-3 Format/Info : Audio Coding 3 Mode extension : CM (complete main) Codec ID : A_AC3 Duration : 6mn 54s Bit rate mode : Constant Bit rate : 384 Kbps Channel(s) : 6 channels Channel positions : Front: L C R, Side: L R, LFE Sampling rate : 48.0 KHz Stream size : 19.0 MiB (10%)
So good to hear that theres still people who dont need auto tune. Paying attention Miley, Rhianna, Madonna etc etc? If you can't sing without electroncs to fake it (and you can't), move out of the way, sit down and shut up and let someone who can.
un son de malade c'est ça la soûl et le rythme and blues indetronable et toujours d actualité c'était la joie de vivre l insouciance tout était réuni nostalgie quand tu nous tiens 🥰 🥰 🥰 🥰
SHEER PERFECTION...NOTHING ELSE TO SAY....BETTY HAS STILL GOT IT GOING ON AFTER ALL THESE YEARS...THEY JUST DONT MAKE UP LIKE THIS ANYMORE....BETTY....MILLIE....TINA...DENISE...GWEN....SHIRLEY....ALL THESE GIRLS HAVE SUCH LONGEVITY....LONG LIVE THE QUEENS!!! THANK YOU ALL FORMAKING US SO HAPPY ALL THROUGH THE YEARS....WE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!
God bless you Betty! My generation is still singing your songs baby! But I'm worried about this new generation. They need to be schooled in the Old School :-) Love from NC
Oh ,G.P. ist im Haus.Vater werden ist nicht schwer, Vater sein dagegen sehr.Hat seine Frau ihm nicht verboten mit dem Feuer zuspielen ,vorsicht man sollte nicht jeden trauen.Nächstenliebe beginnt Zuhause,vor allen wenn die eigene Frau schwanger ist.Da sollte der Ehemann doch auch Zuhause sein. I wonder who my Daddy is. Die Wahrheit Papa was a rolling Stone. Vernachlässigte Kinder ,das Elternhaus prägt postive oder negativ . Die Wahrheit ist Narzismus ist vererblich.
I Remember this song in high school ...but never listen to the words. Here now i am listening to the words , she is really telling us what a clean up woman is. I don't see her as a hootenanny go girl show others that age doesn't stop one from having fun..... clean up girl
I went to a T Rex concert at Wembly in 1972. The pre-show highlight was the playing of this record when all the audience sang along and thousands of glow sticks illuminated.
Talk about milkin' a groove! What a wonderful performance, and I love her Al Green send up. If you like this song check some of her other tunes: "Old Songs" & "Secretary" are two of my favourites. Betty has always been unafraid to embrace the ethos of black liberation as expressed by the way she has lived her live, and I'm not just talking about her hair!
Masterclass in stage performance and singing. Betty Wright is an absolute legend.
I'm not sure if you were aware but she mentored the legendary Joss Stone and you should hear her cover of this song it is fire😊😊😊

You are so right.This is the first place I went when I learned of her passing. This performance is one for the ages.
WHAT'S THIS...guitars...funky bass...horns...real drums...vocalists who are really singing...ohmigod!!!! it's MUSIC-REAL MUSIC! You GO, Betty and Jools!
King Bee It's still around King, you may want to let Pharell and Robin Thicke know.
King Bee it'd be better if they had her damn mic on
+Jeffrey Huner I like your swag Jeffrey. Great Comment
King Bee
King Bee Really Real music please come back, if not sign me up for time machine.👶
Absolute masterclass in owning the whole room and tv audience! Rip betty u left ur mark forever ❤❤❤
Bettty Wright - the original Clean Up Woman, still smokin' it out with her soulful pipes!
First time listening to this... there is no going back... Had enough of the current generation of nonsense pop music. This is real music!
Omg, yes! It's utter crap and it's gotten so much worse since you posted this comment (ie stuff that folks are force-fed on 'popular' radio stations I mean). Hopefully things will go full circle and we'll all come back around to this kind of music instead. Fingers crossed! 🤞
And aint that the truth
Amen ❤
What a performance legend
R.I.P Betty Wright now that's what a woman should be
These young kids need to take note this is how you perform
Betty Wright is amazing
Betty Wright bought down the house, Jools Holland on guitar, and Gregory Porter and Jessie J busting some moves. This was a hootenanny worth watching!
Imelda May enjoying the performance too. A plethora of real talent. 😎
a new broom sweeps clean but an old broom knows the corners -'nough said Betty!!!!
What a performance, always stuck in my mind how good this was. RIP
This is an amazing performance.
What a legend of a singer and songwriter. She had such a powerful voice and looks like she’s always having fun on stage... RIP Betty you will be sorely missed but your music will live on forever... 💚❤️💚
It's so beautiful when music brings people together .Music brings people together . Music is LIFE . I didn't know about your passing , im sad now 😢
She hit B7 & C8! Definitely one of the best whistlers!
WOW, this was a treat, she is looking great. I thought I was back in the 70's after watching this. Made me want to grab my platforms from the closet and start Boogieing Down.
What's the matter? Can't nobody do that today. Make it easy for the clean up woman. Betty wright you the best and you're showing it right now. I wish the young artists could do this. 40 years later still sound fresh, making it easy for the clean up woman !!!!!
Every time I see this and Betty starts to sing I can't help a big smile on my face :)
Won't be another like her RIP
This is a great performance. I have watched it so many times. It is better each time i see it. Betty was a genius.
Her voice is as strong as ever.
I've never heard her sing this live before and she is a performer with a capital p rest in peace Betty😊😊😊😊
Impossible not to like this
Love Ms. Wright!!! What a class-act... this is one of my favorites of ALL TIME!
What's that sound... oh yeah, instruments. Real instruments. They still have those.

May your soul rest in perfect peace our gorgeous Betty Wright🙏Beautiful soul💓Beautiful music💃🏽
Still sound so good, and its good to see people still enjoy it.
R.I.P. goddess!
No ones does what Betty does, and I doubt anyone could. Not enough that she is a great singer in her own right, but she does a mean Tina Turner and a wickedly funny Al Green from her collection of voices. Incredible talent!
The fact that she didn’t have any dancers , no fancy choreography just her and her beautiful personality . She even had the White People in love with her .
The white people?? Why wouldn't she
News flash lots of white people love rhythm and blues and soul😮
Back when this was being played on uk radio there wasn’t a lot of visuals to music so we learned not to distinguish, it was either good or bad music!
Sing that song Ms Betty.
Betty knows how to get the party started
Betty Wright was a Bad Ass
This woman pulled me up on stage with her . It was so amazing.!!!!! She hired the band that I was with at the time, (CHICAGO) !! I was so off into her and it showed. !!! I was singing right along with her. I didn't think she would hear me over the sound. She did ... I'll never forget that moment. "BETTY WRIGHT!!! SURE YOU"R RIGHT !! OOO Weeeeee
Betty sounds GOOD!!
The only trouble Of that performance Is the sound so low this will be higher❤❤❤
RIP Betty Wright. A legend at 18 and it was all still on show here in 2012. Wonderful.
Do your thing Ms Betty!
Love it CLEAN IT UP! 🎤
Saw Betty in concert at Washington Park in Chicago. My My My!!! She was absolutely fantastic!!! One of the most fantastic performances I ever saw. That whistle register is everything!!! 🔥🎶❤️❤️❤️
When you can do it live and sound like magic. 😲 Wow! Vocals 💯💯💯🙏🏾 RIP Mrs Betty
A real musician commands an audience! She is amazing and perfect!

@Chris.Weller exactly.
What a stonking performance. Betty honey, you can still knock these out better than the rest.

I remember seeing Betty perform at the Southport Weekender in the early 1990s. Wonderful soulful singer.

RIP BETTY WRIGHT
When that music comes on you know what time it is that wright time go Betty get your boogie on
Thank U Betty.... 💜💔💜
RIP Betty!
Just brilliant more of these legends please jools
Only just realised we lost her this year. Under-rated. Wonderful.
I was lucky to have worked with Betty!
Hey I'm enjoying this, all those 9eople including the band having a ball. Go Betty go.
If it's on Jools Holland, it's dynamic!!!
your band should love n appreciate you more GODBLESS YOU TY
My favorite Betty Wright. She makes singing look so easy. She has a lot of personality and great stage performance. Lol
Exactly
Come through Betty.... Yeasssssssssss
I Remember this song in high school ...but never listen to the words. Here now i am listening to the words , she is really telling us what a clean up woman is. I don't see her as a hootenanny go girl show others that age doesn't stop one from having fun..... clean up girl
THAT'S what this snappy song needs - a full orchestra with killer bass and guitars!!
I went to a T Rex concert at Wembly in 1972. The pre-show highlight was the playing of this record when all the audience sang along and thousands of glow sticks illuminated.
Go ahead Ms.Betty W. Great performance by her!!!!!!!
Talk about milkin' a groove! What a wonderful performance, and I love her Al Green send up. If you like this song check some of her other tunes: "Old Songs" & "Secretary" are two of my favourites. Betty has always been unafraid to embrace the ethos of black liberation as expressed by the way she has lived her live, and I'm not just talking about her hair!
Gone too soon. RIP Betty Wright
Betty you still got it.
❤ Betty Wright..🎵🎵🎶👍❤
Betty bringing the house down ...and Imedla May sitting on her husbands lap groovin' .. great show! I'm glad I clicked on this video
