Are there any Betty Davis admirers on the Org? I would like to open a discussion on her and her music. What do you know about her? (Besides the basics) She was married to Miles and she influenced his style in the early 70's bridging the gap of Funk and Jazz, and Rock. She was the go between for her husband and Jimi Hendrix. There are rumours that are persistent to this day that she died of a drug overdose. But a couple of years ago some azz posted her home phone number address on the net and she started getting all of these calls. She said that she didn't want to relive the past and to kindly leave her be. I have never heard of any live shows circulating or any video either so if anyone knows...hook a brotha up.

Peace, Serveitupfrankie*

Is she the one who said Miles was such a horn dog?...no pun intented

I love her albums, I have them all. My favorite is "They say I`m different". She sure is.

I feel Manki is gonna be posting on this thread. He turned me on to her last year. She's a freak!!

The "Nasty Gal" album is HOT HOT HOT! I looove Betty. Millie Jackson's also a favorite lady of mine.

He Was A Big Freak was supposed to be about Miles and as a rememberance of her he recorded Back Seat Betty for his Man With A Horn album.

What are your favorite Betty Davis tracks?
