Betty Harris is a legendary soul singer known as the Lost Queen of New Orleans Soul. Her powerful and fiery soulful vocals found a perfect accompaniment with the New Orleans' players that Toussaint put together to back her, which by the mid-1960s included the legendary drummer Zigaboo Modeliste, guitarist Leo Nocentelli, and bassist George Porter Jr. of The Meters. Her music has been treasured and sought out by soul enthusiasts for decades, and her classic song "Show It" is getting a whole new life thanks to a new remix package due out on Swishcraft Music on June 6.
Harris' exuberant vocals just add to the spiciness of the mix, and the remix package is sure to be a hit with fans of classic soul and modern dance music alike. The package includes remixes from Stonebridge, Matt Consola, and Dave Matthias. The remixes bring a fresh new sound to the classic track, while still maintaining the soulful essence that made it a hit in the first place.
The upcoming package (available for pre-order on beatport) is a testament to the enduring legacy of Betty Harris and her music. Her soulful vocals and the New Orleans sound that backed her have inspired generations of musicians and fans alike. The Lost Queen of New Orleans Soul is a true legend, and her music will continue to live on for years to come.
Personally, I am delighted to have contributed in some way to this remix package! A dear friend of Betty's, Steven Colangelo, discovered this music blog and contacted me to share the StoneBridge remix. I was blown away by it! Steven asked if I had any recommendations for record labels that might be interested. Swishcraft immediately came to mind. We forwarded it to Matt Consola, and the rest is history.
