Beautifully voice.I had never heard of her until a couple of months ago, had a song early morning rain on You tube, which I had heard by other singers, but she done it best. All I could find out was She had a show at a club in Atlanta I think, and moved on when she got married. That's about all I could find.
Pretty rare stuff. Betsy had only one LP issued in '71. No follow-up and apparently no singles. Lovely voice to hear. But a shame we didn't get chance to hear more music from her. 😞
This is the latest I could find:
"Still alive. Her name is Betsy Simon now. But not sure if she is still in TN:
A stunningly beautiful piece, lovingly performed.
Betsy's voice is a touch of Joan Baez and Janis Ian so pure and simple.
Never heard of her till now, although I am 70 and lived thru the 60's.....This is just awesome. Is she alive?
@@linpiao111 I am asking myself the sama question. The beauty of her voice is overwhelming!
@@linpiao111 Hi, I am 68 and have loved this music genre since 1967. Never heard of her. What a beautiful interpretation of one of L.C's best songs. I would like to know more about her life. Greetings from the Black Forest, Germany
Maybe Joan and Janis compares to Betsy's voice. Think ! It is Betsy's voice that is stellar. Never compare the best with the famous.
I can also hear Joni Mitchell and Emmy Lou Harris yet still uniquely her own voice. Why am I just now finding this?
This has always been one of my favorite Leonard Cohen songs . Betsy performs this so beautifully. I just found her today. A nice visit with my past. Thank you for posting this
The song reminds me much of Laura Marling's "Night after Night", which is obviously (as much of her repertoire) inspired by Cohen.
I just found this singer today as well. The same album but a different yt channel and another song by a Canadian singer song writer Gordon Lightfoot.
Wondered why I'd not heard of her earlier. Comments here cleared that up. Now wondering what rest of her story was .
Me too: Beautiful voice . Sadly no songs of hers on Spotify 😮
Just listened to BETSY again...
It's the way she delivers...
Digging at the heart 🥴.
Oh Betsy💯🪽 You Are And Sound ~ Beyond Thee Beyond🪽💯👏❤️👏🌎🪽🌎
Diese Stimme berührt meine Seele. Viele Grüße aus Deutschland

Never heard of her before and why? Such a lovely voice and good choice of songs. Photographs are also very good. Thank you, whoever posted this.
LEONARD COHEN, what a writer 👍.
Betsy, what a disappeared phenomenon 😢.
Any idea if she is still singing and playing guitar?
@@Gachayoutube294 OMG !
It's like at the beginning of "SEARCHING FOR SUGAR MAN" but worse 😢.
Nothing at all, nothing except that 1971-72 album BETSY.
THERE Is a a listing for the persons who accompanied her on the album, but that's a search complete to hopefully come back and learn about Betsy.
I like her "lullaby voice", very, VERY calming 🥰.
Of course, if you find anything, let's all of us know, it'll be great 👍
@@johnnyp8979
Could you pleass any other musicians names who were on this album?
I can't seem to find out anything about this very talented singer.
Really like the songs she covers on this album. Does it say where the album was released? City, state?
Johnny P, my thoughts exactly. The search for Sugarman.
@@suzannelawson9215 I found that BCG records were issued in Atlanta, Georgia. The record company existed in the 70s.
Doesn’t anybody remember knowing her?? Come on man let’s find her! ❤❤
Hello from Sweden 🇸🇪
Bonita cación y voz.!!
It’s the first time I have heard of her. Too bad she didn’t get more airplay. What an angelic voice. I love her covers of Gordon Lightfoot.
Great song.
She made it to a recording session, to an album release - there must be some traces of her out there, she must have performed somewhere.....
I had a fellow tell me she played at Dante;s Underground Atlanta in the 70's??? And that her album was recorded somewhere in Georgia but other than that he could find out nothing on her????? How crazy is that this day and age????
@@edwinbrashear7729 Makes sense as the record company was from Atlanta, Georgia.
My understanding is that the album was private release, which means it never was in distribution in the record stores. One of the problems she may have had developing her career is that the pure folk idiom was passe by the 1970s. Maybe she got married and had kids. It could be as simple as that.
@@anonymike8280 And her real name isin't Betsy Legg...
@@FantomasXZ7 If you know something, put it up.
Good take on the classic Leonard Cohen song!
wonderful.
Love Betsy, Ariel Hart another folkie female worth a listen
Ariel's album is called The Artistry of Ariel Hart.And it is here on Yotube
What a voice. Is that not pitch perfect and perfect in every way.
I tried doing a Google online search to find out more about this singer but all I could find was links to hear the songs from her album on UA-cam......How does someone like this just disappear from the public consciousness? Nobody seems to know anything about her. Almost like she never existed.....Saudações do Brasil...
I have also done much online research and found nothing. Because of this, I wonder if she existed at all and that the photo we have is just some obscure actress who posed for an album cover. The songs being rendered by some now forgotten studio singer. Most likely this is what happened. Still, there are some songs on that album that were very well performed. Am glad they have been presented here on YT.
What does this say about any of us? Even the best known of us will be forgotten totally within 50 years or so. Think of it; there have been billions of people living on Earth and only a few thousand are remembered at all, and a lot of them because they were evil. What's it all about, Alfie?
Классная певица! Привет американским хиппи)
jennifer warnes does this song too! it's wonderful too!
why is this so popular all of a sudden?
Where is this woman now?
Eventually Mississippi John Hurt was "found" Maybe it is time to find Betsy. I see a story here.

No such thing as Psych Folk. That is a marketing ploy, no more. Please don't demean Betsy Legg. She's much better than that.
I don't hear any of the things typically associated with psychedelic music. Sounds like folk to me -- and wonderful.
@@KabobHope Absolutely. Good Call.
Why is there literally no trace of her, a person this talented?
@@MrJC7071 Hard to believe in this information era.
@@MrJC7071 I wonder if she is a deep fake.
Grew up in the 60s. Never heard of Betsy. With this voice, how is that possible. She was clearly cheated . Joan Baez, but better.
Baez when young had a range few ever have. I want to say some said as much as three and a half octaves.
F a m o u s
Blue Raincoat
Creative rendition.
This is better than folk music
Er, did you see the info upfront that stated: Genre = Folk? I was around in the 60's of Judy Collins, Joan Baez, etc. and I assure you, Betsy is singing in the same tradition.
@@KieranSaighir simply saying its great music .
@@darinmullins4770 I know that and I was probably being 'too cute' and snarky. I apologize if I was; I certainly didn't mean it that way.
@@KieranSaighir did you ever meet or see any of those singers back then ?
@@darinmullins4770 Nah. The closest was when Liam Clancy (of the Clancy Bros) came into a bank where my wife worked. As I was a big fan, she recognized him and asked for his autograph, which is politely gave. As for me, I was a policeman at the time, which probably made me the ONLY cop in my city who was a ‘folk music’ fan.
oh my god!! I never knew he killed her! gawd!
Hi, ???? nobody was killed in this song
23 birth records for an Elizabeth Legg in the Georgia database for anyone who is looking

0:21 The music starts.
Does anyone have any information on this woman?
What the fuck is psych folk any way . Who came up with it . Never heard of it . Betsy is a real talent . In the class of joan baez . Yep shes better than what ever the fuck it is. Sydney australia 25/3/2023
I didn't know at the time it was short for psychedelic folk as I commented how do you call Betsy's music psych folk what a joke
Language, Dude. Not necessary
@@PR-bd1ky ah blur blur blur dude big balls 🏀🏀 to the 🧱🧱 wall don't be cry baby blow it out your back side
2:27
Only from Leonard Cohen!!!!
This has all the signs of being an AI personality prototype trial run experiment to "work out the bugs" via an innocuous attempt to rewrite history.
Another possibility is that she's a real person who took a shot at making it as a performer/musician and then moved on, possibly getting married, having kids, working a 9 to 5 job and settling into relative obscurity for some fifty-odd years before being rediscovered on youtube.
idiot !!
Well, that was depressing.
Here is another view. Psych folk is no part of nuthin'. A music industry Bullshit category which bombed.
I find that, heartening.
From Thee Inside Friend 🌎GRH Mr Cohen 🙏
I've heard this song before, who wrote it?
Clone of Joan Baez ❤
Hmmmm, not the slightest trace of her anywhere, anytime apart from these songs on UA-cam. If you asked an AI Chatbot to produce an album from an archetypal female folk singer of the early seventies I guess that it would come up with something very like this name, voice and choice of songs.
I wonder why the title change?
