Part 3Betty is a very warm, gentle and kind person. When the tour reached Atlanta, GA, I left Betty and George to go to Jacksonville FL to see about my grandmother who'd become ill. My sister, Margaret,later, took my place after that, and even moved to Texas as a part of the job. Betty and George got married. My sister loved Betty and George; and many years later had a daughter whom she named Adrena. Betty knows why Margaret named her daughter "Adrena."

Part 2 I was the maid who cleaned their rooms when they were in Boston, and while doing so, got to talking to George, who said Betty needed someone to assist her with driving (Bettye had a new Cadillac) and with her wardrobe while she was touring. While George and I was talking, Bettye came in and I was introduced to her. They hired me that same day and when they checked out, I quit my job and left the Sheraton Hotel that same day, driving their Cadillac.

I know for a fact how kind and talented Betty is. I was hired to be her maid/wardrobe assistant/chauffeur back in 1967. I was working at the Sheraton Boston Hotel as a maid/housekeeper and was the assigned to the floor where she and her, then manager, George Barton had their rooms (she and he had separate rooms). She was on a tour for the Stax Recording company along with Otis Redding, Arthur Conley, The Manhattens, Betty Wright, and others.

I remember being a little girl 8 years old when this song came out. I want to say that it was in the summer. I loved the song now just as much as I did than.The only thing is that I never knew all the lyrics. So, being the little kid that I was, I would make some of them up (whatever I thought that she was singing)Would someone, anyone please post the lyrics for me so I can really sing the entire song the way that it's supposed to be sung?

I member at the DQ wearing my huge bell bottom pants &loud paisley shirts feeding the jukebox my spare change 2 hear this song. Hold the burgers till this song is over. Gotta dance. lol Knew all the words &we all sang along. Thanks Betty for bringing joy to troubled times -war,poverty, racism. Betty, only thing that's changed is that we don't hear you on the airwaves as much. Come on, my sweet Betty. We need you today. And all this from a 58 year old white man. Love you Betty. Love you lots!!!!
