"Part of the joy of following Southern soul music is in sharing a passion for less-well-known artists who, in any righteous universe, would be household names. But if you were to turn the pursuit of lost soul legends into a game of Top Trumps, then few cards would trump Betty Harris. Voice: 10; Passion: 10; Backing band: 10 (The Meters); Songwriting: 10 (Allen Toussaint). And so on. She's ballsy, powerful, intense, funky, sultry, spiky and vulnerable, all at once. This new collection of her singles from 1964-69 on Toussaint's Sansu label does her justice".
