    Betty Moorer Speed Up / It's My Thing

    Outta Sight
    • Betty Moorer – Speed Up
    • Betty Moorer – It's My Thing
    • 1. Speed Up
    • 2. It's My Thing

    'Speed Up' on the a-side (Betty’s original and definitive version) captured the hearts and souls of the UK's Northern Soul fans and by the mid-70s had become an anthem. The b-side is no slouch either as Betty funks it up with a killer version of the Isley Brothers' 'It’s Your Thing'.
