FREAKIN' WITH THE FUNK QUEEN!

Here's our hellion in a tribute to fashion and exercise. Some thought the song referred to ex-husband Miles, others say it's about Jimi. In truth it's pretty much about everybody. So put the free in freak, baby!

    Thanks for clarifying that too often-repeated myth. She also says she was not a groupie, didn't do drugs, and never made it with Jimi despite Miles' paranoia. She's so straight-forward that naturally I believe her instead of the haters.

    I'm getting the feeling that Betty might have influenced Rick James just a WEE bit! LOL

    Betty's shit is timeless unlike a whole lotta Funk you hear. Like Miles said in his book: she was ahead of her time. Too hot to handle, for everyone, even Miles. Man, if she were young and on the scene now, she'd blow them all outta the water.

    Before Betty married Miles she was involved with an uptown gangster with him and his brother owned and operated a hot club called the Cellar. There's were she was introduced to the early New York club scene.

    Debates have been going on for years about this song, as to who it is in reference to. Many pundits say it was indeed written by Betty in reference to Miles Davis. He then in turn, as some sort of retaliation wrote "Back seat Betty". Which can be found here on Youtube and the "We Want Miles" album. For those who may not be aware, the term "back seat Betty", is an old skool term that refers to a woman that is very promiscuous, and eager to give it up. Most commonly in the back seat of a car.
