Bio / Background

The new Tribute Collection includes 31 songs, including

songs from when Betty Dempsey was 18 years old recorded at K-ARK Recordings in Nashville,TN. It will also include a radio interview she did with Paul Bain on the radio in 2003 and some live music as well. My goal in creating this CD was to make her music available to the world. It would mean a lot to me that as many people as possible will be able to lsiten to Betty's beautiful voice. I always thought all these years what a shame it was that her career never went National. I owe it to her to make sure the world can hear her sing and her Name will live on. I am also going to donate $5 from every CD sold, to help fight lung disease in my Mother's name.

"Thank you to all of the friends and fans of Betty Dempsey for your continuous

loyalty to my Mother and for listening to her music for all these

years. To those of you who are unaware, my mother passed away on

May 7th, 2005.

↓ more ↓

She died of lung complications at Wesley Long Hospital in Greensboro,

North Carolina. She suffered for the past three years of Emphysema and COPD lung

disease. Below I have copied and pasted the biography I wrote for my Mom a few years

ago. I hope you will keep listening. I will make sure her music is always available for you

to listen to."

Short Biography written by Betty's Daughter

Katherine Morris

Betty Dempsey was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. She grew up in a family of 5 kids with two

Brothers and two sisters, Mother, Leona Dempsey and Father, Jack Dempsey. Betty played the

trumpet and the Guitar in Grammar School. She practiced often and the family loved to get

together and sing country songs. Soon she became a rhythm guitarist and started giving guitar

lessons at the age of 16 to other students. Betty's father often took her to local clubs and made

her get up on the stage to sing. Betty is a bit shy but once she got up there she sang her heart

out.

At the age of 18 she recorded four (4) records for K-ARC Record Company in Nashville, TN.

"The Memory of You," written by Betty Dempsey and George Elliot, "Lonesome Without You,"

written by Betty Dempsey, "Crazy Crazy Crazy Heart" and "Part of a Home" also written by Betty

Dempsey. She also recorded a song for Potria record Company, called "Tears Lonely Tears,"

written by F. Hober. Her most recent recording includes two original songs titled "It's All Gone,"

written by Sonney Throckmorton, TN and "These Empty Arms," written by John Troy, NJ. Betty's

Father was an electrician and traveled often to do jobs around the United States so at the age

of 18 she moved up to Jersey City, NJ with the whole family. On April 25, 1970 Betty won an

award covering eleven north east states as "Best Female Artist" at "The Golden Nugget" located

in Newburgh, NY.

Betty started playing country music at several local country clubs such as "The Hurricane" in

New York where she played with Eddie Rabbit and Walt Conklin, "The Coral Bar" in East

Paterson, "The Pavillion Lounge" in Budd lake which seated over 300 people. "Charlie's

Corner," now known as "Krajewski's" in Secaucus, NJ. She played there for several years at

other clubs such as the "Rocking Horse" in Union City, NJ, "The Rainbow Inn" in Woodridge, NJ,

"The Blue Ribbon Inn" in Hillside, NJ and the "Palomino Club" in Wallington where she played

with Mack Sullivan and the Oklahoma Rangers. She was hired at the Palomino Club by the

owner Mac Sullivan who stated he don't usually hire woman singers but when he heard Betty

sing he changed his mind. Betty was propositioned to take a bus tour throughout the states in

1978 but she turned this opportunity down in order for her only daughter Kathy to have a stable

home life.

When I hear her sing in public or at home when I listen to her tapes it often brings tears to my

eyes. It may be the intensity of her voice and her feeling behind the music she sings or because

I know she worked so hard her whole life playing music and she deserves to have went further

than playing in some night club or wedding. I remember going to her house last Christmas and

her whole bedroom was covered with Christmas cards and I asked her who are all of these

from? She told me they were from her fans. People that follow her around all the time to watch

her sing. I couldn't believe it.

Over the years she recorded three or four more demo tapes. Her most recent made about 4

years ago. She finally recorded "It's All Gone" written by a song writer in Tennessee. This song

was never recorded before or played on the air. They played the song on the air at Fairley

Dickinson University 89.1 and the DJ Paul Bain called Betty in to do an interview over the radio

and played her new song for her. I thought for sure someone would hear her story and hear her

song and I thought finally her hard work might pay off. I Just want to say if anyone out there has

an interest in a powerful country voice with feeling behind it listen to Betty sing. All of her fans

know her as MS. BETTY DEMPSEY but I am so proud to be able to call her MOM. Hope you enjoy the new Tribute Collection I put together. Email me at BettyDempseyMusic@yahoo.com if you have any questions.
