The Reason Bettye LaVette Is Great

I thought if I waited a few days before posting this, I'd be able to think of something poetic to do this justice. I now realize that is not going to happen. The greatest thing I can do is share this live performance by Bettye LaVette (at the recent Kennedy Center Honors, where she performed as part of the tribute to The Who.) I wish the sound quality on the video were better, but, even with the poor sound, it's still the most achingly beautiful thing I've heard. Turn the speakers up, and be prepared to be blown away.
