Here is what was on offer from the DJ booth last night before and and after Bettye. Lots of classics along with plenty of top quality lesser know tracks , with an emphasis on what was coming out of Detroit and Memphis during the 60's.
After the show Bettye told me that she enjoyed listening to them in her dressing room before going on stage.
Feel free to ask about any of the tracks played.
