Every once in awhile, I'll make a proclimation in my head that I don't like a particular type of music. I don't dare utter it loud but just a little prejudice floatin around, keeping me from exploring how I really might feel about that style. I felt that way about funk...that is until I met miz Betty Davis. That woman exudes FUNK and sexiness and dirt and feel goodums. Such a voice too, bet...

Her self titled debut was a slamming she funk ...

The 'Crew' with all it's m...

French director Jean Luc Godard said there's no such thing as being ahead of your time. It's just that everyone else is behind. Betty Mabry aka Betty Davis was way on time. She had the vision to expose her then husband Miles Davis to the likes of Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone, which led to Bitches Brew and that mess. Here, Betty tells you how she spells f-u-n-k.
