Betty Davis, the Queen hellion of Funk, with her 1975 manifesto. Crank it up! Betty exposed husband Miles to Jimi and Sly, inspiring "Bitches Brew" and Fusion. Her unbridled FunkRock and sexual power paved the way for Madonna, Joi, Peaches and scores more. She is crucial to the history of Rock'n'Soul.

    You're right! She's got so many good ones it's hard for me to choose, but 'This Is It' is one of my top choices for next time. Thanks!

    Be sure to check out the NEW video, "HE WAS A BIG FREAK", too! It seems to be escaping YouTube's radar and isn't appearing with the other Betty videos. Hit "More from this user" to your right and scroll down...

    Betty is alive, but she's kept a low profile after leaving the music business in the late 1970's. Her first two CDs are coming back out on May 15; the new interviews inside, plus a cover story on the magazine WAX POETICS (Rap, Funk), are helping to put her back into the spotlight. Hopefully this is a new beginning for her!

    Back in the mid 70's Betty was on the bill with Graham Central Station in Washington, D.C. at the Carterboran(Outdoor ampitheater) for six nights. On the last night that we were to perform, Larry's people cut our sound and lights out. We absolutely blow them away for six straight night. About two weeks later I went to see Graham Central perform in New York, at Lincoln Center. Guess what song Larry opened with, your listening to it "FUNK". A total instrumental version of it. A total ripoff.

    Nickie Neal (Drums) and Larry Johnson (Bass) are Betty's first cousins. The band Nickie and Larry played in was named FUNKHOUSE,out of Reidsville, N.C. Betty's (Keyboardist) Fred Mills and (Guitarist) Carlos Morales were also members of FUNKHOUSE....Few people understood Betty's Music (That includes the record industry, and other musicians)....Nickie, Larry, Fred, and Carlos understood....It was just the BLUES and these boys from North Carolina played it too perfection!
