Bettye Lavette, 'Talking Old Soldiers' -- Video Premiere
- Posted on Aug 14th 2008 12:00AM by Adam Horne
Bettye LaVette has been sharing her soulful voice with the world since 1962, when she cut her first record at the age of 16. The Michigan-born singer never quite reached superstar levels of fame, but throughout her extraordinary career she has toured with legends like Otis Redding, James Brown and Cab Calloway. Her latest single is 'Talking Old Soldiers,' a heart wrenching piano ballad originally performed by Elton John. In the video, LaVette reminisces about friends who have passed away as cigarette smoke slowly plumes around her in an empty bar. Goosebumps guaranteed. Buy it on iTunes.
