Sweet Betty

Sweet Betty - Betty Echols Journey - was born in Duluth, GA. She grew up listening to gospel music. Aspiring to become a singer herself, Betty began singing at parties at her friends' homes. In the mid 1980's, she was introduced to legendary saxophonist, Grady "Fats" Jackson. Jackson was so impressed with Betty's vocals that he began bringing her with him to his performances. It was through Jackson that Betty met former Muddy Waters' guitarist, "Steady Rollin" Bob Margolin.
