I question this bit When R&B group Color Me Badd released their huge hit, "I Wanna Sex You Up", in 1991, it generated controversy because the sample from "Tonight is the Night" hadn't been cleared; Wright soon took the band to court for royalties and was awarded 30% percent of royalties for the song.: usually it's the labels that own the copyright on the music, not the musicians.

No, usually when you fight for royalties, it could also be for the person's benefit when they're writing the song. So because she wasn't fully credited by Color Me Badd and because they just looped it, Betty saw it as her opportunity to get the royalties for it. It's the same with James Brown. I think Betty owns her catalogue if that's the case but I'm not sure about that but there's a link that proves it. Just gotta read it. LOL BrothaTimothy 13:24, 9 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] making the band

She was the woman Diddy hired to help Sara with her vocals. In that episode she shows off her whistle abilities and explains to Sara's amazment that this can be acheieved through practice in breath control. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.200.116.11 (talk)

[edit] Reliable source?

it would appear the source for whistle reg. on this page is not very good. I know popdirt.com well, and that article was just a user comment written by some moron who thinks he knows everthing about music. The guy said that betty's d7 is higher than adam lopez's certified c8 note in the guiness book of world records! Betty's page deserves a more reliable source than this wacko's rant. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 207.200.116.11 (talk)

[edit] Marriage

No mention that she was married to King Sporty or about how her ghetto daughter Aisha has a child by her "step" brother Tashamba. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 4.153.29.185 (talk)
