" MY FRIEND and musical colleague Betty McDaniel died June 2, in Knoxville Tennessee, three days after receiving surgery for two brain aneurysms. She was two months short of her 50th birthday. Originally from Edmonton, she moved to Vancouver in the '70s. She became known for her electrifying sets with Roy ('Bim') Forbes and the Foreman Young Band; her abilities as a studio session singer; and her performances with 'Ladies in Lights,' a showcase for Vancouver's professional female vocalists. The first time I heard her play was as Betty Chaba at the Soft Rock Cafe around 1980"...
