At The Mercy Of A Man
Do Your Duty
Easier To Say (Than Do)
Games People Play
He Made A Woman Out Of Me
I'm In Love
Hello Sunshine
Love Made A Fool Of Me
My Train's Comin' In
Nearer To You
We Got To Slip Around
Piece Of My Heart
Let's Go, Let's Go, Let's Go

"The Classic Late '60s Memphis Recordings with The Dixie Flyers

These deeply moving recordings by one of the soul field's reigning queens were produced in 1969-1970 by Lelan Rogers in Memphis, with the Dixie Flyers in sizzling musical support. For the first time, they're now assembled into one comprehensive collection that will leave the uninitiated wondering why Bettye LaVette isn't every bit as famous as her fellow Detroit legend Aretha Franklin."

Recorded at Sounds Of Memphis Studios
Produced for Shelby Singleton International Productions, Inc
Mastered for Steve Massie Productions
