Chambers Brothers - Uptown

[garyn1953]

Betty Davis is responsible for this funk !!!

[chea943]

BETTYS FIRST SONG SHE SOLD 1967....SHE WENT DOWN TO A CLUB WHERE THEY WERE PLAYING ONE NIGHT IN NEW YORK. TALKED THEM INTO LISTENING TO HER SING THIS ENTIRE SONG, JUST AS YOU HEAR IT HERE. AT THIS TIME BETTY WAS A PROFESSIONAL MODEL, WITH THE FORD AGENCY....MODELING WAS A MEANS TO AN END FOR BETTY....SHE WAS A SONG WRITER SINCE SHE WAS 12 YEARS OLD.....SHE WAS 20 AT THIS TIME AND ON HER WAY TO WRITING SOME OF FUNKIEST BLUES EVER!!

Just a cool not very well known fact; this tune was written by Betty Davis (Miles Davis' wife for a short time). Check her music out if you haven't, it's swell!

[Xychk]

Who is the one only, different whiteguy they always seem to have added in the mix? Its always a different guy, too.

Love this song-

At the 'Circus' the could strech this out 10 or 12 minutes-

[Xychk]

Same thing- the sinc on this cut isnt what he is singing, and it sucks

[Capcoor]

That's on my New York agenda-go to Harlem and eat at Sylvia's!
