About Betty

Betty Wright was an American soul singer who helped originate what became known as the Miami Sound – a blend of soul and funk with Caribbean influences – in the 70s. Her smash hit Clean Up Woman sold over six million copies worldwide and was, just months after Betty’s death in 2020, inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. Clean Up Woman, along with her lover’s anthem Tonight Is The Night from her platinum-selling Live album in 1978, continue to be frequently sampled by rap and hip hop artists today. Betty’s embrace of rap won her fans and collaborations with the likes of Snoop Dogg and Lil’ Wayne.
