Betty Davis - Betty Davis
NEW CD
Betty married Miles Davis in the late 60's, influencing him with psychadelic rock, introducing the jazz great to Jimi Hendrix, and inspiring classic work like "Bitches Brew". She herself had been strongly urged by Marc Bolan of T. Rex, and turned down both Eric Clapton and motown to keep control over her own work and express it as nasty as she wanted to be.
Rappers from Ice Cube to Talib Kweil to Ludacris have rhymed over her tracks. This amazingly progressive debut showcases her revolutionary talent and features such gems as "If I'm Lucky I Might Get Picked Up" and "Game Is My Middle Name"
Originally released in 1973, "Betty Davis" was recorded with a who's who of San Francisco stars - from Sly & the Family Stone's rhythm section to backing vocals from Sylvester and The Pointer Sisters, while Sly Stone drummer Greg Errico produced the album.
