1960s Soul Singer, Bettye Swann
Heartbroken?
Go listen to Bettye Swann.
I stumbled on her music when I was going through a tough time in my own personal life. Listening to her records, I felt this instant connection with her and the topics she dealt with in her music; yearning (Make Me Yours), unrequited love (I'm Lonely For You) and letting go (Then You Can Tell Me Goodbye).
I wonder how much of her lyrics are based on real experience...
Naturally, like any artist I feel a connection with, I make a portrait of them. And if it's a musical artist, I curate a Spotify playlist based on some of their greatest. hits. Go listen to it here
