« view all posts Bettye La Vette performs her own rendition of Christine's song "Old" at the Cafe Carlyle NYC Invited as a guest to see the one and only Miss Bettye La Vette, I was honored to hear her perform her wonderful rendition of my song "Old" in her heart wrenching 90 minutes set. According to the NY Times in March 2012 Review "Ms. LaVette is quick to note that she spent 45 years in relative obscurity before she was rediscovered several years ago. Now recognized as one of the great soul interpreters of her generation, she has a gift that, in my opinion, makes her the equal of Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner. And Ms. LaVette is savoring what was long denied her. Instead of a diva making grand gestures, she is an R&B realist who tells it like it is."
