This woman rocks hard!

dancerella said:

Yes, she does rock hella hard. I have her shit.
1) Betty Davis by Betty Davis -1973
2) They Say I'm Different - 1974
3) Nasty Gal - 1975

Yeah, Betty was wild!! Definitely before her time!

blackguartarist, you are too cool!

i have those cd's too. They say i'm different is bad as all hell but nasty gal is the bollocks! how come this woman never got her props? i've turned a few people onto her music and everyone has loved her stuff. why no love for betty?

dancerella said:

Ahhh, u shouldn't have! (blush) If u dig her, u should DEFINATELY check out Ruth Copeland. she wrote a few early Parliament cuts on the 1971 Osmium album but u need to get her two albums "Self Portrait" and 'I Am What I Am"which has Funkadelic as her back up band. Those albums are KILLING. Eddie Hazel does some of his best shit on those recordings. As Ruth went out n tour to support her second album, Funkadelic members Eddie Hazel, Billy Nelson, Bernie worrell and Tiki Fulwood served as her band as they were theopening act for Sly Stone no less!

When Wendy and Lisa played the Roxy in 1998 Susannah fronted the band for "If I'm in Luck I Just Might Get Picked Up" (not sure if that's the right title) from Betty Davis. I would love to hear Betty's version though.

thanks for the tip, i'm going to check her out!

do you like joi?

I know huh? She wrote a song about Jimi and everything. I'd say she was a tad "turned out" by Jimi.

yes, i was asking you (blackguitarist) if you like joi and how about kelis? i think they both rock and are under rated.

dancerella said:

Well, I'm soft on kelis cuz I think she's very cute and the little that I've heard of Joi is very cool as well. And yeah, I knew u were asking me. I was just playin with ya.

Joi is probably as close as we'll get to betty davis, for this generation.....

just jiving with me huh?

dancerella said:

yep.

I have "Nasty Gal" and listen to it often.

"I aiiiin't NUTTIN' but a nasty gaaall..."

blackguitaristz said:

Maybe more than "a tad".

dancerella said:

Yes, she's still living.

[quote]Yes, she's still living.



.....and what is she doing? enquired minds want to know.

Wendy & Lisa actually did that for me (don't hate)...They did it as a thanks for my Wendy & Lisa site I put together (years ago) when there was no Wendy & Lisa on the net. They along with Betty Davis was one of the featured artists...Both sites are still up and you can view them. Let's just say the ladies were regular visitors and I have a few things that they have sent me (for all non-believers) now that I think about it I probably should post on the site...

Oh, also, Joi does a cover of the same song on her unreleased album "The Amoeba Cleansing Syndrome" with Fishbone as her backing band.

Miles was her husband, not her boyfriend (the last name Davis)...Yes, she is still alive and I believe living in Pittsburgh, PA (where she's from.) I recall a few years ago some azz posted her home phone number and address on the net and people were calling her left and right and Vibe even tried to get an interview out of it. She eventually changed her number and just wanted to be left alone and live her life...

I was totally into Betty since day one! Have all her albums. Graham Pointers Sisters and some of Carlos' boys were on the first album. It slams!
