What do you mean who’s Betty Davis? Betty DAVIS! The ‘first lady of funk’. Friend to Jimi, Sly, Carlos Santana and Herbie Hancock. Wife (briefly) to Miles. Model. Producer/ singer/ songwriter on four classic funk-rock LPs in the 70s. Oh – yeah – and victim of sexism and censorship. Which are the main reasons why she suddenly disappeared at the tail end of the seventies and doesn’t have the fame she deserves. Pretty much off the radar for thirty-five years, Betty has decided now is the time to tell her story and if documentary Nasty Gal: The Many Lives Of Funk Queen Betty Davis gets the funding it deserves, you’ll get to hear it. The project needs $65 000 – and has raised nearly $22 000 in a month with one month to go. Get involved HERE. Teaser below. Samples of Betty Davis’s funky magic below that:
