Beth Hart is a singer who became famous with the hit "L. A. song".

Beth Hart dropped out of high school to focus on her songwriting. While playing the Los Angeles clubs, she enlisted veteran bassist Tal Herzberg and guitarist Jimmy Khoury. Her raw, passionate vocal style sounds alternatively like Joan Armatrading and Janis Joplin, but certainly not like her contemporary folksingers. Recorded while she was heavily addicted to drugs, Immortal (Atlantic, 1996) displays her anger, her confusion, her imbalance. The band broke up after a tour and Hart's career seemed to be finished.

Hart fell under the spell of blues singer Etta James for her second album, Screamin' For My Supper (Atlantic, 1999), that also reflects her soul-searching after a number of tragedies and her recovery from drugs. The tender LA Song gave her a little notoriety but Get Your Shit Together showcased more character. At the same time, Hart was performing as the protagonist in a musical on Janis Joplin. Her most recent album "Leave the light on" is all about battling demons (drugs and alcohol in Beth's case) and coming to terms with oneself and being honest about it. Musical influences on the album are blues, rock and gospel.
