Wow, amazing voice and great song. Thanks for sharing and uplifting her legacy and untimely sad ending. Betty Willis apparently is a highly underrated talent. People cross paths for a reason. It's good to know that she had a fulfilling life after her singing career. Your time with her definitely was golden.
Thank you!!!🎉🎉 Learned of her today listening to her music read some history of her Legacy. How wonderful you are and were a part of some glimpses of her existence. Very precious indeed ❤️❤️
I discovered Jimi Hendrix & Otis Redding after they were both dead, but I been in heaven every time I play their records, don't worry about people dyin, there's always a little bit of them in the livin.
She was a wonderful Lady and friend. She was always there for me and my service dog. Northgate Market is sending the truck to pick up her shopping cart tomorrow. I put it in my garage. I can't stop crying and my dog is sad too. She was so kind to us. She was so kind.
Taz Schaeffer, you say Betty was your friend and she was always there for you, I guess in your bad times, but where were you when she needed you?? I ask because the YAHOO news article says Betty was homeless. ...where were you in her bad time?
Sasi my roommate and I wanted her to move into our spare bedroom but she declined. She was proud and didn't want to be a burden. Dog and I would visit her daily.
Oh no! I'm sorry, love...I can only imagine how you are feeling. I never knew Betty, in fact I live in Africa, i just felt bad when I read the story in the Yahoo news where some of her songs were listed...for some reason i thought why not go navigate to UA-cam and listen to her songs.....that's when I found myself listening to this song and then saw what you posted ...and i was compelled to reply. And thank you very much for your response! See how you can find some strength, ok.
By the way, I also replied one guy called Derrick who said Betty was his great aunt; I asked why he did not take her in. From what you just wrote, I guess Derrick had the same challenge as you with Betty. I can only wish Betty's soul a peaceful rest.
Sasi no worries. Everyone in the community is distraught. Even my dog. He adored her. I am disabled and terminally ill. Betty would save recycling in the bushes for me so I could earn money. I would bring her snacks and chocolate and pray with her.
A very sad and tragic story. Her gritty version of the Northern Soul classic is equally as good as Rita & The Tiaras. The single itself is now worth a kings ransom.
Sometimes it takes one's death to see how special they are and should be appreciated. So sad it has to happen this way. I guess we somehow take others (people) in general for granted often times, which sometimes are understandable; we are only humans as well, but?
Hi. I just read the article in LA Mag regarding Ms. Willis... I am touched by your friendship with her, and saddened by her tragic, senseless death. But you seem like such a nice person. God bless you, and I am sorry for your loss... God Bless...
R.i.P Betty, I remember her. She was a sweet person, never bothered anyone. The perpetrator was arrested, and undocumented. I hope he's doing all day in the Klinker
What a terrible loss. Betty should've been lauded but the crime perpetrated against her has only recently been prosecuted after almost 6 years after the defendant was placed in custody, likely because she was a 'homeless' person. Homeless people are at a higher risk of being victims of violent crimes than any other sector in society except for infants. What does that say about humans and humanity? RIP Betty. Your voice deserves to be heard. My deepest condolences to her loved ones.
I watched Betty’s story today on Crime Watch Daily and was very impressed by your relationship with her. I pray that the justice system will finally give Betty justice in this case.
Never heard of Betty Willis until 2-27-23 on UA-cam... But I am listening to her music now... RIP Betty.. sending 🙏 to the family.
There's a video about her on the UA-cam channel TI's Hot Mess History. Check it out.
The guy who killed her received a life sentence
This is my aunt Betty, I'd give anything to hear her voice today.
So very sorry. Betty Willis deserves Justice!
I’m so sorry for you and your family’s loss. She deserves justice! ❤️
Condolences to the family. Rest in heaven, beautiful Queen ⚖️ Justice for Betty.
I’m so sorry for your loss and hope there is justice ❤
Ashley Willis, you need to tell and add to her amazing story. You know more than the people publishing things about her.
I just discovered this lady today. Sorry that I couldn't appreciate her while she was here. RIP
Yes me too!
Just today for me. 😢 RIP 💕
How about I just did a couple days ago. Just discovered her actual music today. Wow!
There's a video that was just done about her on the UA-cam channel TI's Hot Mess History. I just paused it to pull up her music. Check it out.
All I say is wow!!!! Listening to it over and over. What a voice singing with passion. RIP with love.
RIP Betty! You deserve Justice. ❤

Just heard of her,rest beautiful
A very sad and tragic story. Her gritty version of the Northern Soul classic is equally as good as Rita & The Tiaras. The single itself is now worth a kings ransom.
What a sad ending- RIP now Betty

Here for Betty 😢
No old lady should be homeless let alone a Queen of Soul. Shame shame shame! And some rat murders her. Sick
R.i.P Betty, I remember her. She was a sweet person, never bothered anyone.
The perpetrator was arrested, and undocumented. I hope he's doing all day in the Klinker
RIP
Beautiful voice. ❤ She was definitely not in the right place to be promoted.

Just saw her story on True Crime Daily. She was murder in 2018. Police got the person who killed her but no charge like really.
✝️🕯💃🏻🎶🎶🎙🔥
Are you the same Anthony that worked with Betty at the Post Office?
Yes. I am.😁
I watched Betty’s story today on Crime Watch Daily and was very impressed by your relationship with her. I pray that the justice system will finally give Betty justice in this case.
@brgodding1959 Betty's story is being shared the world over on a grand scale. I believe truth and justice will prevail.
I literally drive past the place where she was murdered every day
;)
her killer got life today.
he should get the same thing he gave her.
Aretha - ish.
Heard of her story just today. 1/23/2023 Rest in the Heavens Queen💫🦋💫
