Publisher's Summary

Singer Betty Johnson's extraordinary voice lifted her from the arduous cotton fields of North Carolina to the luxury of Park Avenue.

From the sweet sounds of the Johnson Family Singers, America's first family of gospel, to the elegant rhythms of her solo career in top venues around the globe, music was the saving force in a difficult life filled with personal hardships and devastating secrets.

The Cinderella tale of this hard-working, determined woman leaves you cheering as the triumphs of her later life overshadow the pain of her early life. This is a story of tremendous faith and even greater love, but above all, it is a story of music, told by the author in her still beautiful voice, with actual recordings spanning over 70 years of her career.
