Betty Davis

Anybody who doesn't know about Betty Davis is in serious need of some musical education. Prince even played one of her songs over the p.a. before his December 18th concert.

Really? Which one of Betty Mabry-Davis' songs was played? I was at that concert, and don't recall hearing it unless I had stepped out on a break.

The original Queen of Funk

I can't remember which song it was, but my wife and I both caught it right away. Possibly "Steppin' in her I Miller Shoes".

Yay! Love me some Betty, have all of her albums. So underrated.

Anyone know if Betty is related to Lynn Mabry, of the Brides Of Funkenstein, and Sheila E's business partner?
