If you wake up on a Sunday morning and are steeping tea before your day of antiquing, then do not put on some Betty Davis to provide the soundtrack to your morning. Betty Davis's vocals are not for the faint of heart. Her songs demand your full attention. Once you give in to that, her music is pure funky goodness.
While Betty made a few great funk albums in the 70's, her biggest effect on the history of music was probably when she introduced her then husband, Miles Davis, to Jimi Hendrix and Sly Stone. Many, including Miles himself, believe that Betty's influence led him to his electric period.
Whatever her influence, check out Betty from 1974.
