She does a terrific version of Piece Of My Heart but who needs it?
Nobody can touch Erma's original.
Why doesn't anybody bother to find her great original songs?
She's worth it.

You are absolutely right JK. They have no idea how to break the poor lass and are drifting cluelessly like titanic on acid, all to the detriment of her career. I think they should drop Beverley and leave it up to someone who know what they are doing. I think this is true for most of the UK majors attempt at black music outside the US. Where are the new Clive Davis' of this world ? Where are the UK Berry Gordy's ? JK time to step in maybe ? Lol ! Im sure you have your hands full.

She's a fantastic act. I've thought so for a very long time. In fact I have introduced her music to several very talented kids in the US, that (of course) never heard of her.
Love to see what LA Reid would do with her, if he would go back to what he really does best.... Hands on with the act musically, and not being a ceo. Your posts have really got me thinking on this one. I've been very tight with all the former LaFace people, and indeed most in the Atlanta music scene over the years, as Kenny, Usher, and I share the same lawyer. Wonder what her deal structure is like?
