Yeah,there is a rumor that the album isn't really "live" at all.Betty has been accused of recording this album in a studio with her band and then adding the "canned audience applause" later.If this is true,I can't see why they had to do this  But if it is really live,that sure was one hell of a concert! | |

I enjoyed "Secretary"..... It's very ordinary....for the secretary....to take a man from his wife. By the way, I work a clerical job and do so much but my actual official job title is "secretary".

She and Millie Jackson, were the only NASTY tongued ladies of soul who made it to semi-mainstream.
Shirley Brown, Barbara Mason, Peggy Scott-Adams, Denise Lasalle and Marlena Shaw couldn't reach Millie & Betty's fame statue nowadays. But these ladies opened the door for Kim, Foxy, Missy and all the TUFF talking women of RnB nowadays. | |
