Thank you for stopping by the Science of Soul web site, I hope all our UK mums had a lovely Mothers Day today! This this weeks show I'll be featuring the new album the mother of 5, Betty Wright, less Patrick who he she lost in a shooting incident in 2005, but new product from this lady is always an exciting event and this set really lives up to expectations "Living Love Lies" I had the hardest time picking 3 tracks to play on this weeks show but I have to tell you I have no real favorites on this album I just love the whole set and the more I hear it the better it gets...rest assured I'll be featuring more over the coming weeks.

Loretta

A new name to me was a young lady from France I believe, Loretta, her latest set is pretty impressive I have included a duet from the album "Give It Up" with another France based soul-man Leon, thanks to Mickey for bringing this to my attention [her video is at foot of page]. If you haven't picked the latest Soul Junction compilation album " Extra Rich In Soul " I urge you to do so. I have had it in rotation in my car for the last few weeks, It's another that just gets better the more you play it. Happy Birthday to the queen of soul Aretha

Betty Wright's Biography:

Born 21 December 1953, Miami, Florida, USA. A former member of her family gospel group, the Echoes Of Joy, Wright's first recordings were as a backing singer. She later embarked on a solo career and scored a minor hit with "Girls Can't Do What The Guys Do" in 1968. "Clean Up Woman" (1972), a US R&B number 2/pop number 6 hit, established a punchier, less passive style which later releases, "Baby Sitter" (1972) and "Let Me Be Your Lovemaker" (1973), consolidated. Although "Shoorah Shoorah" and "Where Is The Love?" reached the UK Top 30 in 1975, the singer was unable to sustain a wider success. Wright nonetheless continued recording into the 90s and also forged a career as a US television talk show hostess.
