Betty Davis takes her Davis name after being married to Miles Davis.
Miles was a jzzz giant who married this firebrand of a singer/songwriter, who earned her own niche in the music historical with a gorgeous sexual funk.
This one’s a mild, somewhat sentimental example, but they’re all worth a listen.
Hadn’t thought of her in a while, thanks for the Memory Hole Prevention, Peter. Here’s my boy doing Betty’s most famous song, originally done by the Chambers Brothers.
I’m with Johnny to the max. His voice animates much punk, and his records and other stuff are fantastic.
But Betty was there, too!
