there are several artists who sang that song Deep in the night, or have the same title. but i think it was origonally sang by Etta James. the other artists who sang this song are Barbra Streisand, and Rage.
Who sang the last song from the movie in Black Rain?
The song 'In Christ Alone' was sang by various Artists. Written by Andrew Shawn Craig and Donald A Koch in 1991 this song was sang by: Brian Littrell, Michael English and The Martins.
There are many theories but I have heard that a "Black Betty" was a flint-lock musket with a black painted stock. In the song "bam-ba-lam" refers to the sound of the gunfire. And her child is kills she made. But Black Betty is an old African American slave song so who really knows. Other Theories Black Betty is a Black Chick... Black Betty is a VD... Black Betty is the stocks that misbehaving slaves where taken to be shot at.
Off the top of my head, Back Seat Betty by Miles Davis, Betty by Taylor Swift, Betty Boop by Charlie Puth, Black Betty by Ram Jam, and Pretty Betty by Bobby Darin. Hope this helps!
