Betty Black - Gypsy Heart / Beautiful Lies (SL45-030)
Betty Black - Gypsy Heart / Beautiful Lies (SL45-030)
SKYLINE RECORDINGS is proud to be releasing another OG banger from the wonderful Ms Betty Black "Gypsy Heart" is a driving dancer with sassiness and flair, just how Betty likes it. Powerful vocals with a punching back beat, screaming for the dance floor.
Betty goes back to the beginning when Rhythm met the Blues under the watchful eye of Gospel and the African-American Spiritual. It's mystical and cinematic but gutsy, and funky to boot! Roots Revival Soul with a sophisticated twist.
On the flip "Beautiful Lies" Perfect song, uptempo dancer - which throws you straight into a story, where Ms Betty Black takes you into another world, but one that so many women, in particular, can relate to - another strong vocal mover, with a Motown overtone. Summer fun.
