Betty Harris (born September 9, 1939 in Orlando, Florida, United States)[1][2][3][4] is an American soul singer. Her recording career in the 1960s produced three hit singles that made the U.S. Billboard R&B and Billboard Hot 100 charts: "Cry to Me" (1963), "His Kiss" (1964) and "Nearer to You" (1967).[5] However, her reputation among soul music connoisseurs far exceeds her commercial success of the 1960s,[6] and her recordings for the Jubilee and Sansu record labels are highly sought after in the 2000s by fans of Southern Soul, Northern soul and deep soul.
