R.I.P. Betty Davis, whom I just learned this afternoon has passed at 77 years old.
If you don’t know who Betty Davis is, you’re not alone. If fact I, a relentless music hound, didn’t even hear of her until a few years ago, several decades past her prime.
Her music was considered controversial at the time, though compared to say Cardi B, it’s pretty tame. But for original, old school funk? Yeah, she could – and did- slay.
I’ve got a soft spot for any artist that “goes against the grain”, and she certainly did that!
May she meet back up with Miles and Sly and put some sweet grooves out in the afterlife!
So long Betty, we’ll see you on the other side!
