Free Music Notes for Betty Davis

Free Music Review: Life-Changing, Raw Funk!
Hit: 5 Stars

You have not heard funk until you've heard the albums of Ms. Betty Davis. Yes, she was once married to Miles Davis -- but she's so much more than that. After listening to her albums your perceptions of music will change, and, quite frankly, everything you listen to after will seem just a little bit boring in comparison. This self-titled album was her first and, for my money, her absolute best. They Say I'm Different is a close second.

The best song on this album, and my personal favorite Betty Davis song, is "If I'm in Luck I Might Get Picked Up". I'd be hard pressed to name a sexier, sleazier groove. My second favorite is "In the Meantime", a sweet (yet cold, if you listen to the lyrics) ballad that really shows the range of her talent. "Steppin in Her I. Miller Shoes", "Walkin Up the Road", "Ooh Yea", and "Anti-Love Song" are just more of the classics on this album that will leave you wanting more. I promise that after buying this album, you will want to buy the rest of them, too.

I consider it criminal that Betty Davis is not better known in the world of music. She was doing stuff in the early 70s that most female singers weren't interested in at the time -- pushing envelopes, exuding sex on the stage and in the studio, and being nasty in the best way. Comparisons to Prince and Madonna are not unwarranted. Ms. Davis laid the groundwork for these talented, controversial artists, and then she left the business in the late 70s because the music industry was not appreciative of her efforts. It's a shame that no known footage exists of her concerts, because by all accounts they were really quite something.

It is my suggestion that you buy her albums from the Amazon marketplace rather than from Amazon directly, as the Amazon-sold versions are apparently CD-Rs that aren't packaged as nicely as the real deal. You won't get the nifty digipack with debossed, silver lettering, nor will you get the booklet with fascinating photos and liner notes (trust me, what with the lack of information on this lady, you'll want them).
