Four Bettys: Betty or Not, Here We Come

With a combined 80+ years singing, Four Bettys has paid their dues bigtime. In 2004 they placed 7th in the world at the Sweet Adelines International Competition in Indianapolis, and, like cream, rose steadily to the top: 3rd Place in 2005, 2nd Place in 2006 and not surprisingly, at the 2007 Calgary Convention they were named 2008 Queens of Harmony! "Betty or Not, Here We Come" is a "Best of" collection, so it's hard to pick favorites among these 13 cuts. The Motown standard "Get Ready," the traditional favorite "Danny Boy," the sweet, nostalgic "Pooh Corner," the a cappella chestnut "The Lion Sleeps Tonight," the pop hits "Here's That Rainy Day," "So Much in Love" and "Don't Rain on My Parade;" and Barbershop winners "I Told Them all about You/You Dear Medley" and "I Love You Truly;" and the Spiritual medley "Amazing Grace/My Chains are Gone." Four Bettys is all about sweet harmonies, lovely leads, strong arrangements-in short, great entertainment!

Four Bettys: Four Bettys

Third in 2005, second in 2006 surely this fabulous quartet are the next heirs apparent to the Queens of Harmony crowns. And how worthy they are is clearly demonstrated on this fine recording as the ladies are in top form as they sing some classic barbershop songs along with some vintage jazz gems. Made up of members of the Melodeers and the Choral-Aires Sweet Adeline choruses the quartet members Lynda, Joan, Heather and Cori fine individual voices blend in great harmony with a spirit that shows why we love female barbershop singing so much. This recording should be in all fans collections.

Four Bettys: Good Queen Fun

Chicago-based Four Bettys' first step onto the Sweet Adelines International Stage in 2004 in Indianapolis turned quite a few heads when they placed 7th. In Detroit in 2005 they took 3rd, in Las Vegas in 2006 they won 2nd, and in Alberta, Canada in 2008 they were crowned SAI Champions! The 13 songs on "Good Queen Fun" show us why. The Bettys, with a passion for performing and a combined 40+ years singing, are a joy to listen to! Some favorites are "Wonderful Day/Zip a Dee Do Dah Medley," "Come Fly with Me," "Spreadin' Rhythm Around," "Dr. Jazz/Land of Jazz Medley," Chicago's "Saturday In The Park," "My Melancholy Baby," "Gospel Medley," "This Is Some Lucky Day" and "Who I Am." With their solid harmonies and leads, the Bettys are all about great entertainment, and we're sure you'll enjoy this strong collection from one of Sweet Adelines' elite groups!
