Meet Betty Lewis!

Queen of Soul Today we are sitting in with Ms Betty Lewis. Singer,songwriter, veteran, athlete and philanthropist among many other talents and services she share with her community and the world.

The Singer! Betty Lewis began singing in her mother's womb, it has been said. As if music was just.... born into her. Betty would grow to sing in her family's church, before the call of the road beckoned her. Even in the early years Betty would command the stage! Performing with her brother's bands, Unity, Peace & Love... they would perform at high school. Each of the three members, assuming a 'tag' name. Of these... she was 'love'! She learned the basics of stage presence and band protocol from working her brothers. But it would be the late great Louisiana blues legend Tabby Thomas who would be the one to give her first big break! Tabby saw something special way back then, and offered her a chance ...if she would come down from Shreveport to sing. Press and a stage of her own awaited her in Baton Rouge, just as Tabby had promised. ‌.more. This was only the beginning.... It would not be long before eventually starting a band of her own.


BETTY LEWIS & THE EXECUTIVES! A Class Act!

Betty Lewis & The Executives would go on to break racial barriers and gender barriers for over seven years, as she took her vision for music to the international market.


They were a young band, with a big soulful sound. ...And certainly one to take notice of.

Bob Sibley & Betty Lewis of The Executives Betty has graced the stage with big ticket acts and major performers, opening shows at such festivals as the Delta Blues Fest, New Orleans Jazz Fest, the Breaux Bridge Blues Festival and the Baton Rouge Blues Fest and others with a voice that rivaled the legends of that time. Over time, other members would come to join the band with the rich soulful sound. But it was Betty & Bob, who were the two original members. Sadly, Saxophone player and original member of Betty Lewis & The Executives lost his battle with cancer this month.... Bob Sibley ‌ You will be missed.
