To understand where Betty was coming from with her music, it is necessary to go back in time, and THEY SAY I'M DIFFERENT is the song that takes you there. These are some of the artist Betty loved, and admired long before she wrote her first tune. Always remember Betty Davis is and was a song writter first. Betty's lyrics have always been overlooked, because of the raw, funky energy in her music. Totally unlike anything people had heard,or were hearing at that time (1974).
Niva the soul diva is the next betty. check her out on youtube doing the stones brown sugar. completely different and only 23 . you're gonna love her!
What seperates her from some many singers is her inflection on the words......she gives them meaning...like a fine actor like Brando......no one sounds like her......unique.
her vocal expression 'for want of a better word' excells alot of other singers.....its something different ...........you don;t hear it with other vocalists.
very cool song!. but sad that Arthur Crudup was left out. Her genre started with him. Little Richard & Sam Cook had doors open when 3 Crudup songs went gold early covers by Elvis, who said to reporters in 1956, "The colored folks been (performing) it for more years than I know. I got it from them ... in Tupelo... I used to hear old *Arthur Crudup* bang his box the way I do now and I said if I ever got to the place where I could feel all old Arthur felt, I'd be a music man like nobody ever saw.
not too many of us could get into Betty Davis...but there were a few of us...hehehe. Thanks Derik Talbot. for turning me on to "the betty". Crazy! Great video..no wonder I was so cwazy...oh oh. just somethin' in the blood I suppose.
THIS IS THE FUNK I'M SORRY IM SO EXCITED I HAVE TO WRITE IN ALL CAPS THIS IS MAD FUNKY I CANT BELIEVE MY EARS. What a sick groove, plus the slide guitar and awesome lyrics
I just added the band info into the "More Info" box to help out. This is the band Betty put together after Larry Graham and Greg Errico's squad backed her on the previous album.
awesome vid, I've never heard this one before! real cool

Fans & collectors of everything funky...check out Betty Davis !
Her funk driven jams are a true celebration of vice & passion - all around a perfect mix.
