5 out of 5 stars Great Dusty Soumd.......2006-07-26

This is an excellent CD. If you are a dusty record music lover as I am, you will just love this CD.

4 out of 5 stars Just So You Youngsters Know.......2004-12-10

Betty Everett passed away in 2001, not in the best shape financially because of the abject failure of idiots in her orbit who did not properly promote her talent. Her very best is on this package and I recommend it. And for the ubiquitous "A Music Fan" from the 4-11-2000 review, my best memory and information tells me it was Mickey and Sylvia, not Betty, who did "Love is Strange" (their signature song in fact) on the Dirty Dancing soundtrack. You're welcome.

5 out of 5 stars Best Of Betty Everett-Let It Be Me..............2003-08-14

I was looking for a song from the movie "Dirty Dancing" called "Love Is Strange" and when I discovered Betty Everett sang it I decided to buy her CD titled "Let It Be Me" and listen to more of her songs. I was not disappointed when the album arrived and I listened to it. There are many great songs on this CD: Some of them are sung in duet with Jerry Butler; one of them is the title song "Let It Be Me" (made it to #5 in the U.S. charts in 1964). While listening to the album, I heard another song that I'd heard in the movie "Mermaids" : "It's In His Kiss" (#6 in the U.S. 1964, #34 in the UK 1968).
There are songs of the pain that goes along with love lost. They include "Chained To A Memory," "Until You Were Gone," and "No Place To Hide."
I strongly endorse this CD. It's classy and smooth and evocative of a wonderful musical era. In my opinion, Betty Everett is as
talented (if perhaps not as well-known) as Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross and the Supremes, or Martha Reeves. I wholeheartedly give Best of Betty Everett -- Let It Be Me five stars!

5 out of 5 stars Classic Material.......2001-08-29

I Really Enjoyed Her Work.Her voice puts so much Drive&Passion into the Music.The "Shoop,Shoop Song is a Timeless Classic.She is easily one of the most Underrated Artists Ever.this is a Solid Collection on a Talent that is Long Overdue.

5 out of 5 stars Betty gets down.......2001-06-03

If you're looking for an undiscovered gem, get a hold a Betty Everett "Best of" CD. "Let it be Me" was a song that was, well, I guess you'd call it my parents' courting song. So I grew up listening to it with a great deal of regularity and loved the way her voice worked with Jerry Butler's - much in the same way as Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell worked - magically. It was only when was much older that I realised that the same woman sung "The Shoop Shoop Song", along with "You're No Good", "It's Getting Mighty Crowded" "Hound Dog" & "Can't hear You no More". She has sort of been relegated to R&B obscurity along with great singers like Doris Troy, Anne Peebles & Gladys Horton from the Marvelettes, and a popular resurrection is long overdue!
