Danger! Hi-Voltage is an apt title for Betty Wright’s finest hour. It contains three R&B hits — “Shoorah! Shoorah!,” “Where Is the Love,” and “Tonight Is the Night” — but also features an array of other tasty tracks, including the heart-tugging “That’s When I’ll Stop Loving You.”
It is included in Mojo’s Magazine 100 greatest soul albums of all time.

“Danger High Voltage” is Betty Wright’s best album. Released as it was during the heyday of disco, it struggles against sounding dated, but it mostly shines. Betty’s voice is one of the most solid of the period’s female R&B singers, equally at home with tender ballads and surging dance tunes. The Toussaint-penned “Shoorah shoorah” is worth the price of admission, but there really isn’t an unlistenable tune on the album.

No doubt this girl can sing. I had some of these songs on a vinyl live recording and I sure played the hell out of it. Thank you so much.
I just firstly want to say I appreciate this blog so very much. I have discovered so many gems through this site and what you guys do is amazing.
I have come to love Betty Wright, especially the song “Tonight is the Night”. Anyway I was wondering if you could rerecord that song in higher quality, I love it so much but the quality makes it hard to play on loud speakers.
