 Betty Carter Betty Carter, born Lillie Mae Jones on May 16, 1929, was a jazz singer renowned for her improvisational technique and personal vocal style. At a young age, she began the study of piano at the Detroit Conservatory of Music, and by the time she was a teenager she was sitting in with Charlie Parker and other bop musicians when they performed in Detroit. After winning a local amateur contest, she turned professional at age 16, working with the Lionel Hampton band by 1948, billed as Lorraine Carter. Hampton was the man who gave her the nickname 'Betty Be-Bop' a nickname she hated. Ultimately ,she changed her stage name to Betty Carter. Her first solo LP, "Out There," was released on the Peacock label in 1958. In 1970, a record company man tried to run off with a set of her master recordings, the incident led her to establish her own record label, Bet-Car. Some of her most famous recordings were originally issued on Bet-Car, including "The Audience with Betty Carter" in 1980. By 1988, Verve Records signed Ms. Carter to a contract and immediately set about rereleasing the majority of her old material. Her "Look What I Got" album earned her only Grammy award that year. In 1997, she was awarded a National Medal of Arts by President Bill Clinton. Betty Carter died from pancreatic cancer in 1998.  Click Here To Listen To Betty Carter - Open The Door. |
