MOG

She had it, a lot of it. Look at all this MOGlove for Ms.Betty. Digging immensely. I don't know why everybody doesn't have these records yet..What they waiting for?

I just can't get ENOUGH!

Know the following has already been posted, but it’s so deliciously funky (and a personal fave) that I’m compelled to re-post: here’s Anti Love Song from the self-titled Betty Davis LP

The Boy Flood – know exactly what you mean, and wholeheartedly concur!

Cody B – can’t fathom why Betty’s not lurking in everyone’s collection; she was so daringly original for her time (banned from nearly every FM station), and a wildly interesting, somewhat tragic figure. She absolutely ‘had it’. :-)

nicki – nor can I; so glad you enjoyed, and thanks for commenting! Cheers.

wow what a sexy voice can i go on that ride with her cheers

nice.........loving the funkiness of that album cover

One word: damn.

totally funk-a-licious. another impressive funk drop, girl. whoa, that's good!

Check out those knee high silver boots! Those things are off the wall. lol.

I am for sure going to be seeking out some Betty Davis. I think I can honestly say that until today, I had never heard any Betty Davis. This is some good stuff.

Great stuff as usual Girlcrawl.

she is responsible for some of the hottest record covers ever. a very hot women indeed.

Hallelujah, Girlcrawl. Great to see Betty getting recognition in the States...

CHECK THIS OUT! Woot, this is so cool! You can download her first interview in almost 30 years and it was just a few weeks ago. I think you can stream it also, but it seems to be easier to just download the mp3.

Love it.

skjs, isn't this stuff great. I have been rockin it for a couple weeks now. Great stuff....Girlcrawl is the bomb when it comes to music reccomendations. She is my music sugar mama. :P

Marigold - 'Woot' indeed! Just discovered your last 2 comments - am so sorry for not responding, but only received the MOG notification a few moments ago, and never received one for the 11 July comment so had no idea you had left such a cool link. Downloaded the interview and gave it a listen - splendid! You possess mad investigative skills my friend. Thanks so much for sharing the Sound of Young America discovery; enjoyed listening to Ms. Betty though she seems as reticent as ever. Great that she is finally being recognised for her legacy and trail-blazing talent.

As for the second comment...you are a sweet-heart! Your 'music sugar mama' aye - Love that; quite sure I'm blushing a wee bit. Thanks for the wonderful compliment, and I rather think you are 'the bomb' too groovy papa! Cheers as ever.

Loved Anti-Love song!! Wicked, funky kick-ass!!!

naze - 'Wicked, funky kick-ass' is spot on! Love that track as well, and Betty's voice will have your platforms shivering :-). Thanks so much for the listen and fabulous comment. Cheers!

hehe 'platforms shivering' nice one! No probs! :)

Man ! Do I dig this ! I can so see myself sitting in a smoke filled room while shes sangs this song Diva supreme
