Like Aretha Franklin, Betty was blessed with a four octave voice range and is adept at using the whistle register. Several of Wright’s works have been sampled over the years by hip hop, rock and R\u0026amp;B musicians. The riff from \u003ci\u003eClean Up Woman\u003c\/i\u003e has been sampled constantly by acts such as Afrika Bambaattaa, SWV, Mary J. Blige, Sublime and Chance the Rapper. Wright’s first hit, \u003ci\u003eGirls Can’t Do What Guys Do\u003c\/i\u003e, was sampled for Beyoncé’s \u003ci\u003eUpgrade U\u003c\/i\u003e. In 1992, Wright sued the producers behind Color Me Badd’s hit \u003ci\u003eI Wanna Sex You Up\u003c\/i\u003e after claiming they used the sample of her live version without clearance and without permission, and sued for royalties. Wright won her case, winning 35 percent of royalties for writing the song. I Love The Way You Love contains many standout tracks including the funky hit \u003ci\u003eClean Up Woman\u003c\/i\u003e.
