Bettye LaVette :: Love Reign O'er Me



Bettye LaVette nails the hell out of "Love Reign O'er Me" a song originally written and perfomed by The Who.

I grew up with this song, but this version, sung to Townsend and Daltrey at the 2008 Kennedy Center Honors, takes the paint off the walls.

Music this good lives forever. Thank you Pete Townsend. Thank you Rogery Daltrey. And especially, thank you Bettye LaVette.
