thread for Harlepolis

Greetings girl,

How come we never talked about my girl Betty Wright. She was on one episode of MTV Making The Band2 (yuck!!) for about 2 minutes and literally blew the roof off that joint. I wonder whether you got that one.

-stay cool in the desert lol

love, vanity

I`m not Harlepolis (at least not until this moment), but I dig Betty.

Old school: "Clena up woman"
Newer school: "Tonight is the night..." music

The clean up woman...is a woman too...takes all the love we girls leave behind...The reason I know...so much about her...is because she picked up...a man of mine.

When he needed love...I was out having fun...but, I found out...all I was doing...was making it easy...for the clean up woman...took my baby's love and put it on a shelf.




smile My parents used to entertain a lot and have card parties with friends on the weekends...(tonk!...(sp?)...)...and I remember that song...lol biggrin

Harlepolis

Hey girl *waving my hand 2 the monitor* biggrin

Yep, she was vocal-couching/producing/singing back-up 4 that British white girl(Joss something) I 4got. She actualy worked with ?uestlove b4 in Eryka Badu's "Mama's Gun". Everybody were laughing at me when I posted a thread asking if she's Eryka's mother(Erica Wright & Betty Wright)how should I know? lol Its cool tho, I ain't gon' trip.

Anyway, I have her 2002's album "Fit 4 A King":



Of course it doesn't capture her old work but this effort is very tight produced, ya'll might check it out. Homegirl is bad, she still got those golden pipes.

I may don't make much sense but something about Betty's vibe reminds me abit of Millie Jackson. Don't why I just feel it!
