(released in May), New York Times critic Jon Pareles said, "Ms. LaVette now rivals Aretha Franklin as her generation's most vital soul singer." Hard to imagine higher praise than that.
A Michigan native who was raised in Detroit, LaVette was best known until recently for her 1960s R&B hits “My Man, He’s a Lovin’ Man” (recorded when she was only 16), “Let Me Down Easy” and “He Made a Woman Out of Me.” But between recent hot albums like Scene of the Crime
(2007) and stealing the show at the Kennedy Center Honors in 2008, LaVette is finally the star she should have been years ago. LaVette will appear on Late Night with David Letterman on June 24 and will grace the NewPage Main Stage at the Cityfolk Festival on Friday night only.
