Pete Posted June 30 Posted June 30 (edited) Betty Davis giving a sultry Blues lesson. Triple shot of Funky, Sexy, Did Not Give A *****, Original, Untamed, and a force of Nature- Betty Davis - the Funky Betty Davis. Fun Fact- Betty was married to Miles Davis for a few years. She threw out Miles suits, and bought Funky, much Cooler clothes(Betty was a model in NYC for short bit-she had style!). She brought the Funk to Miles. He changed his look, and got funkier. Jack Johnson was the first Funky Miles album. Then Miles was recording Funky album, inspired by Betty Davis, and he called it “Witch’s Brew”. Betty said that’s square. Call it ***** Brew. And the rest was history. Betty Davis was very good friends with Jimi Hendrix(Betty probably gave Jimi style tips-she was hip. Miles Davis suspected Betty and Jimi having an affair. Beacause of this, Miles filed for divorce. Now Betty and was free and wild Edited June 30 by Pete 1 1 Quote

I inadvertently caught her at a bluegrass festival one time and she started off by walking onto a stage with no fanfare, accompanied by only one guy carrying a single drum and she then proceeded to rip my soul right out of my chest while I stood there like this: 😯 An unreal level of presence and power when she's standing right in front of you. 1 Quote

I would have love to hear her sing with Fred McDowell or Blind Owl or Junior Wells or RL Burnside or Junior Kimbough or…..! Edited July 8 by Pete Quote
