So many people have such fond memories of Betty Johnson’s angelic voice; whether it was listening to her sweet solos as a young girl with her gospel singing family, The Johnson Family Singers, or following her solo career in the 1950’s with catchy hits like “The Little Blue Man” and “I Dreamed.”

Betty’s daughters, Lydia and Elisabeth Gray, are also singers in their own right. Both have recorded several cds and enjoy active singing schedules: Lydia in The USA and Elisabeth in Europe. While Lydia and Elisabeth record and perform both modern songs as well as standards, they agree that singing the oldies with their mother is the greatest of privileges and pleasures; her total control of harmony and interpretation, as well as her now rich, mellow voice, make her the ideal singing partner. They feel so blessed to have a mother who is not only the most talented singer they know, but the best mother they could have imagined. Their songs are infused with the kind of love and connection unique to a close-knit family. The three hope to continue making memories for people of all generations, all over the world.

When Betty Johnson returned to the limelight in 1993 after a thirty-year pause, she reminded America that she had come from a singing-family tradition. A Family Affair, the first release of new Betty Johnson material after her comeback, featured prominently her daughters Lydia and Elisabeth. Professional singers in their own right, their lovely and sophisticated voices left no doubt that they dwelt vibrantly in the Johnson Family realm.

It was natural that Betty Johnson featured her daughters on the album as Betty herself had sung in a family fold as a child. Betty first touched audiences in the late 1930s and 1940s as a member of the popular Johnson Family Singers. Throughout the South and beyond, the Family sang sacred music with unchained enthusiasm, becoming one of the most popular family acts of the era.

In A Family Affair, Betty has carried on the tradition, bringing the Johnson Family sound into its seventh decade. Highlights from this collection include “The Very Thought of You,” “Today I Love Everybody,” and “How Deep is the Ocean” (which Betty sang on Arthur Godfrey’s Talent Scouts in the early 1950s).
