Betty Wright, a supremely talented R&B singer who popularized the phrase, 'No pain, no gain,' has died.

made a plea ..."Calling all my #PrayWarriors. My beloved sister, Betty Wright @MsBettyWright, is now in need of all your prayers."

Wright, whom some in the music industry called one of the most underrated singers of her time, was recently honored on TV One's,"Unsung."Betty recorded so many songs, including her 1971 hit,"Clean Up Woman. She was only 18 when the song was released, and it turned out to be her biggest song ever. Other hits included"Let Me Be Your Lovermaker,""Shoorah Shoorah,""Tonight is the Night," and"Where is the Love.

Betty made a bold move in the '80s, launching her own independent label ... it had not been done before by a female artist. That's when she recorded"No Pain ." Ever heard that phrase? Later she recorded"Mother Wit," and it went gold -- the first time an African-American female singer went gold on her own record label.
