716 Betty Everett (1939-2001) “The Shoop Shoop Song (It’s In His Kiss)” 1964

“‘The Shoop Shoop Son,’ or ‘It’s In His Kiss,’ reached number six on the Billboard charts in 1964. That same year, Betty Edward had another hit with a duet. She and Jerry Butler, who was then with The Impressions, recorded ‘Let It Be Me.’ Betty Everett was born in Greenwood, Mississippi, in 1939. She started playing piano and singing in church when she was nine. It was her move to Chicago in 1957 that launched her recording career and even though her popular success was sporadic, she earned considerable respect as a soul singer” (Melissa Block, Morning Edition (NPR), 23 Aug. 2001).
