Betty Davis Biography
Betty Davis, a frustratingly overlooked figure in the annals of soul and funk, released some of the most down-and-dirty funk records of the 1970s. Davis's music was as bizarre, heady, and groove-soaked as anything done by Funkadelic at the time; however, the singer's brash feminist sexuality made her a tough commercial sell. Although unfairly relegated to pop music's cult bin, Davis also has the unique honor of being an ex-wife of Miles Davis, and is credited with hipping him to the sounds that would subsequently spawn the trumpeter's fusion period.
