Bessie Regina Norris, better known by her stage name, Betty Wright (born December 21, 1953), is a Miami-based soul and R&B singer-songwriter, who won fame in the 1970s with hits such as "Clean Up Woman" and "Tonight is the Night". A pioneering singer-songwriter and entrepreneur, she remains one of the few black female musicians to produce a gold record on her own vanity label.
Born in Miami as Bessie Regina Norris on December 21, 1953, Wright is the youngest of seven children of Rosa Akins Braddy-Wright and her second husband, McArthur Norris. Wright began her professional career at the age of two when her siblings formed the gospel group, the Echoes of Joy. Wright contributed to vocals on the group's first album, released in 1956. Wright and her siblings performed together until the mid-1960s.
In 1965, following the group's break-up, 11-year-old Wright, who was already using the name Betty Wright, decided to switch musical styles from gospel to rhythm and blues, singing in local talent shows until being spotted by a local Miami record label owner, who signed her to her first label in 1966 at twelve. She released the singles, "Thank You Baby" and "Paralyzed", which found Wright local fame in Miami.
"And I" is a song written by American R&B singer Ciara, and produced by Adonis Shropshire for Ciara's first album, Goodies (2004). It was released as the album's fourth and final single on August 30, 2005 (see 2005 in music) in North America.
The song was originally the third choice for the fourth single. Ciara has mentioned in an interview that "Thug Style", "Hotline" or "Pick up the Phone" would be the fourth single, but when Ciara suggested "And I" to executives at her previous record label LaFace, they were unhappy because they wanted "Next to You" to be the fourth single.
At the time of the U.S. release of "And I", Ciara's collaboration with Bow Wow, "Like You", and her collaboration with Missy Elliott, "Lose Control", were at the height of their popularity. "And I" peaked at 96 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and 27 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, which were poor positions compared to those attained by the first three singles from the album Goodies. It was not released outside North America because of this, and it is Ciara's least successful single.
Betty is a common diminutive for the names Elizabeth and Bethany. In Latin America, it is also a common diminutive for the name Beatriz, Spanish form of the Latin name Beatrix and the English name Beatrice. In the 17th and 18th centuries, it was more often a diminutive of Bethia.

Love is giving
When there is no more to give
Love is carin' so much about someone
Till it makes it make we wanna live
And when every (Every) everything passes away
Oh... whoa... (Well) and you can't tell night from day (Just one thing)
There is one thing you can say, oh, baby
My love is, ho... yeah
Love is,.crying when you know you share your share of tears, yes, you have (Oh, yeah)
Love is forgivin' over and over (Over and over)
Over and over (Over and over) all through the years
And when every (Every) everything right seems wrong
And all of your false friends (No good friends), ho, they're long gone
Check it out (Check it out), baby
My love will still be strong, you know why, you know why
My love is, yeah, oh, oh, oh... ho...
I heard a song not too long ago
Let's see
You think that people would have had enough of silly love songs, huh
Ah, but look around you and you see these?
You see, personally I think that the world could always use just a little more love
The greatest commandment ever laid down by God was His commandment of love
But we ladies, we get so wrapped up sometimes in the thing that we're doin'
We forgot to tell our man just how we feel and let him know that we know he feels the same
And you know his love is for real, huh
We forget to do it so much and so we're so slow
Sometimes we got to catch him before he's walkin' out the door
Aw, but I'm not gonna get caught in a trap
You see 'cause I will only take out just a little bit of time each day
And whisper in his ear and say, "Honey"
My love is, oh, oh, hey... sing
Love is giving, woo... woo... woo...
Love is caring, woo... woo... woo...
Mmm, hmm
Mmm, hmm
Mmm, mmm, hmm
There is one thing (There's one thing) you can say, yeah...
Oh, baby, hey, baby
My love is, whoa... yeah
(Oh...)
Oh, yeah, yeah
