The Numero Group are on it again with a release today (16 Jun 2022) of a
four track EP consisting of the first four solo recordings by Miami's
Betty Wright titled "The Deep City Recordings".
All songs were written by Clarence 'Blowfly' Reid and Willie Clarke with
his Deep City co-founder Johnny Pearsall (husband of
Helene Smith
featured a few days ago with a reissue of three of her tracks on Hit And
Run) added to writers credits on "Good Lovin'. Betty Wright was just 12 years old when she recorded "Good Lovin'" and "Paralysed" and was backed by her sister Jeanette and Helene Smith.
The story has it that Betty sang "Summertime" in Johnnny Pearsall's record
store and he knew that he had to record her on his fledgling Deep City
label.
"Mr. Lucky" and "Thank You Baby" were actually released on Solid Soul which appears to be
the only release on the label, presumably related to Deep City?
Betty sadly left us two years ago on 10 May 2020 and a
tribute
and Discography where posted then if you wish to know more about her.
