Elton and Betty White

"Please leave messages for me here. I have a new uke and am writing new songs to make the world a happier place. Buy my music! I love you to all fans of Elton and Betty White! Our music is the best original songs you will ever hear in your lifetime!" Elton White, Venice, CA Nov 2010 Elton and Betty White were an urban folk duo from Little Rock, Arkansas, who sang short, charming songs about love, sex, politics, neighbors, friends and their home town, Little Rock, Arkansas. Between 1985 and 1991, Elton and Betty recorded over 250 startlingly honest and sometimes hilarious songs. This is not to say that the Whites were an improvised act. They often asked for requests and almost exclusively got requests for their own songs, though they loved doing interpretations of other artists works. In 1991, Elton and Betty moved to California after a videotape of them was aired on the Arsenio Hall Show in hopes of making it big in the entertainment industry. Producers never returned calls from the couple. Soon they ran out of money and were sleeping in their car. They heard about Venice Beach and started performing for money. Elton and Betty performed hits by Elvis, The Beatles, Beach Boys and others, intending to save their hits from Little Rock for when they made it big. They billed themselves as "The Married Couple" and started writing songs about being happy and in love. No known studio or live recordings exist after The Married Couple moved to the California with the exception of performances on their Los Angeles public access show. Even these broadcasts are thought to be lost in the shuffle of the studio changing hands. Therefore, the world of Elton and Betty White is somewhat of a time capsule in Little Rock – the city they called home. In song after song, Elton calls out to Little Rock, North Little Rock, Conway and Fort Smith, hometown of Rudy Ray Moore aka Dolemite. Elton and Betty were the faces of Little Rock at the time, under then-governor Bill Clinton. For those who grew up in Little Rock in the 1980s, the Whites were like the gods of some kind of futuristic sexual revolution – or at least the weirdest, really-in-love couple in town. After performing on the boardwalk of Venice Beach for ten years, time caught up with Betty on August 20, 2003. She is greatly missed.
