Bettye LaVette, born Betty Jo Haskins, from Detroit, Michigan, is easily one of the most important yet sometimes overlooked soul singer and songwriter of all time. She made her first record at the age of 16 but achieved only intermittent fame until 2005 when she released the ANTI album, "I've Got My Own Hell To Raise," which was on many critics Best of 2005 lists. She did not grow up performing in the church like many of her contemporaries. In 1962 at the age of 16 she was signed by Johnnie Mae Matthews, a local record producer, and recorded the single, "My Man - He's A Lovin' Man" which became a Top Ten R&B hit after Atlantic Records bought distribution rights. The success of this single led to a tour with Clyde McPhatter, Ben E. King, Barbara Lynn and Otis Redding. She recorded the Wreich Holloway-written song, "Let Me Down Easy," on Calla Records in 1965 which became a chart hit (#48) and led to a brief stint with the James Brown Revue. After recording several different singles for local Detroit labels, Lavette signed to Silver Fox in 1969 and recorded a handful of songs, including two Top 40 R&B Hits: "He Made A Woman Out Of Me," and "Do Your Duty," both produced by Lelan Rogers. The Memphis studio musicians that played on both of these hits later became known as the Dixie Flyers. In 1972, Bettye signed with Atlantic/Atco and was sent to the famed Muscle Shoals Sound Studios in Alabama to record a full length album. Produced by Brad Shapiro and featuring the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, the album was supposed to originally be titled as Child of the Seventies but Atco chose to shelve the project at the time. After Bettye played her own personal recordings of Child of the Seventies for French soul music collector, Gilles Petard, he chased the master recordings at Atlantic Records where they were thought to have been destroyed in a fire. In 1999 he discovered the masters and licensed the material and released it in 2000 as "Souvenirs" on his Art and Soul label on CD. The album helped to spark renewed interest in Lavette and in 2003, "A Woman Like Me," was released and won the 2004 W.C Handy Award for "Comeback Blues Album of the Year." Bettye signed to the Rosebud Agency and was then brought to the attention of Andy Kaulkin at ANTI Records who signed her to a 3-album deal. The first project was produced by Joe Henry and featured an album of songs written entirely by women. The resulting album, "I've Got My Own Hell To Raise," was successful in helping to raise awareness on Bettye in 2005-2006. Rhino Handmade then reissued "Souvenirs" as "Child of the Seventies" on CD and added some previously unreleased 1973 tracks. Since her release on ANTI, she has gone on to many accomplishments, including receiving a Pioneer Award from the Rhythm and Blues Foundation in 2006, A Blues Music Award for Best Contemporary Female Blues Singer in 2008 and another Blues Music Award in 2016 for Soul Blues Female Artist of the Year. If voted to win, this would be the first time that Bettye's classic 1972 Muscle Shoals Sessions would be released all in one place on a long playing vinyl record.

Good phone for the money
Digital Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Color: Blue
Got this for my wife after the battery in her Motorola phone blew up like a balloon. It's a decent phone. Camera is better than her old one. Glad that it has a SD card for her pics. Sometimes it's a bit laggy when she tries to unlock it. Works fine once it wakes up. All in all, I'd say it's a good value for the money for people who don't need a super high end phone.

The absolute bottom line in performance and price.
Digital Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Color: Black
This phone is the bottom line. It's just enough RAM. A nice OLED display. And that is about it. This dog was heaving like it was running a marathon after set up and a restart. Normally I'd buy a refurbished Pixel, but the prices and support dates are out of my budget sadly. Just playing around to see how the menus looked, the UI crashed after hanging for about 45 seconds. I can't say I hate it, there's much worse out there. Hence I'd call this the bottom line, lowest standard.

good
Digital Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Color: Blue
For the price, I found this to be a very complete phone. The screen looks good, the battery lasts a long time throughout the day, and it runs smoothly for everyday tasks. I liked that the initial setup was easy and that the device responds quickly for calls, apps, and social media. A great option for anyone looking for a reliable phone without spending too much.

6 years of support, but set your expectations.
Digital Storage Capacity: 128 GB, Color: Blue
I was a Moto user. Before moving over to Android, I was among the 0% that used a Windows Phone. My needs have been modest, so the idea of shelling out nearly a thousand or more for a phone never crossed my mind. What is important is ongoing support, which rules out every cat-sat-on-a-keyboard brand. It’s also the reason why I switched from Moto over to Samsung; offering 6 years of OS and security support (from initial release) on an entry-level class device is a HUGE PLUS. In the case of this A17, that’s all the way into August 2031. This is NOT a fast phone by any means, however. Playing media and general browsing? Sure. Playing video? Fine. Lots of videos at once like on some social media platforms? Not so much. Taking videos? It's only 1080p. More immersive games? I wouldn’t bother. Between the processor and the 4GB of RAM, some patience will be necessary, especially for folks running lots of apps. There is more underlying “bloat” here; turning off the animations under developer mode along with unneeded services improves the experience a bit, however. The A17 phone case I purchased separately for this arrived labeled as an A26; the glass screen protector as an A16, so apparently this phone shares a very similar design with those models. No 3.5mm jack but there is a micro SD slot which it shares with the SIM tray. The AMOLED screen is a huge plus; great contrast and sharpness, which is NOT common in this entry-level class. It does have NFC for tap to pay, but no wireless charging. Will this win any benchmarks? No. Folks expecting sports car performance at an economy car price will be extremely disappointed. This does not nor will not compare to phones that cost more. However, if your needs are modest, there’s no need to spend $$$ either when this will do the job. --- Edit: Just for added confirmation about ongoing support (or lack thereof), the Moto G17 that was just released at the end of January 2026 does NOT promise ANY OS updates at all. That's a stark contrast to the A17 here with a promise of 6 years of OS and security updates. Edit 2: Wireless Android Auto connectivity has become tedious with the aftermarket generic Android head unit on my vehicle, with the phone often forgetting to connect. The real culprit is that those units are often running hardware and an OS older than what they advertise; it may say 15 on the surface but underneath, it's actually running like 10 or even older. Getting a USB wired-to-wireless CarPlay/Android Auto adapter fixed that; the phone has remembered to connect every time since. For less than $10, it was worth taking that chance.
