How dare you! You know she astral-traveled into the future and stole that idea from Prince. I believe the lawsuit is still pending.

SQUEAL FROM.....
U KNOW.....THE BEGINNING OF "SEXUALITY" IS THE 1ST TIME I HEARD IT

Betty Davis is a fucking pioneer.

She was definitely before her time, that's a fact. She was the Queen of Funk and very bold with her style. I remember one of my older sister's and her boyfriend who was a bass player, going to her concert. Betty ruled that stage. I have that cd and 2 others of hers. As far as her clothes, she was famous for the thigh-high boots with daisy-duke shorts, and also wore lingerie when performing on stage. I always loved her afro from all the pics I've seen of her.

I have these 3 cds:

Yes, it is amazing that Prince was influenced by people who came before him . Just like those people had artist that influenced them.

I swear some of you really show you lack of education on this board big time.

Ummm...going back to the topic. Let's stop talking about P.

This CD is classic. "Dedicated To The Press" is the shit. Bought this CD back in 1995 for $23.99. Yeah I was robbed but it was worth it.

I will post in any forum I want to post in. It is not my fault your ignorant as hell.

laurarichardson said:

Quite the contrary- If U don't know ur past, U don't know ur future!!!!!

laurarichardson said:

Yeah,I'm "ignorant" for pointing out that Prince may have borrowed a few ideas from Betty Davis I guess it's hard for a purple Kool-Aid drinker to accept the fact that Prince didn't come up with all those ideas on his own.Seek professional help,sweetie.

I have read about her regularly, but I dont own any albums of her.

From what i have seen from her on youtube she sure has 'guts': nasty, raw primal funk, the way I like it. Vanity is some tame, boring Barbie doll in comparison to her...lol

Any recommendations about what albums of her are worth obtaining?

No your ignorant because you seem to think that Prince is the only artist that was ever influenced by those that came before him.
Everybody took from artist who came before them. Very little in music is all original but when you are so busy pulling down Prince on any discussion about other groups, artist or bands I guess you can’t see that. Which in turn make you one ignorant individual.

I will not suggest you get help for your malfunctions because I think your a lost cause
