A similar observation from someone who sometimes speaks in pyscho-spiritual gobble-de-gook (I know he means well) a few cogent comments from Carlos Santana. “She was the first Madonna, but Madonna is more like Marie Osmond compared to Betty Davis. Betty was a real ferocious Black Panther woman. You couldn’t tame Betty Davis.” ...They Say I'm Different (liner notes) One of Betty’s close friends, Devon Wilson, was dating Jimi Hendrix, and it is believed that Hendrix’s jazz-rock fusions opened Miles’ eyes to new musical styles. Hence, the album Bitches Brew is unofficially dedicated to Betty and her “cosmic ladies” friends. Carlos Santana, in his essay “Remembering Miles,” says, “You could see how these ladies were affecting Miles. They changed the way he dressed, the places he went, and the music he listened to. … I have always thought that Bitches Brew was, in its own way, a tribute to Miles’ language to those women who opened his eyes to a whole new world, and who encouraged and prodded him to take that next step.” Miles may have already been a living legend by the late ’60s, but he knew that Betty was no starry-eyed groupie. ...https://venuszine.com/art...etty_davis I tend to lean toward her first album and this particular track... ...Game Is My Middle Name. Her performance and the groove is just so right. I'm sure the players didn't hurt (Larry Graham, Neal Schon, Gregg Errico, Doug Rauch, etc) tA  Tribal Disorder

Timmy84 said: Which ones? I'm assuming JUNE was one of them. Wasn't the Pointers on They Say I'm Different? Regarding the first album. Under SINGERS, it only lists Anita as the "2nd voice" on Game Is My Middle Name. On other songs it lists The Pointer Sisters: Anita, June, Patricia (?) Another mystery is that Neal Schon and Doug Rodrigues are listed as guitarists for very specific tracks but no guitarist is credited for Game Is My Middle Name. And the final mystery is that I can't lay my hands on my copy of They Say I'm Different. 
I hope i'm not gonna have to brutalize my chirrens.

http://www.soundclick.com...dID=182431 I ask because it sounds like June on "Get In There" with Betty and Sylvester... Finally found my copy of They Say I'm Different (It was in a box of CDs I brought home from work to play at my wife's b'day party  )
From the booklet, here's the vocal breakdown on Git In There... SINGERS The Ladies: Debbie Burrell, Elaine Clark, Trudy Perkins Mary Jones: Solo Voice Tony Vaughn: Bass Voice Ted Sparks: High Voice Cordell Dudley: Tenor Voice No Sylvester or Pointer Sisters on this disc. tA Tribal Disorder

Betty Davis created fusion music (pretty much).
She's still alive (quietly)living in Pennslyvania somewhere. She is right up there with Tina. | |
