Betty was so BAD...

Miles Davis married her. He was so lucky and he knew it. He also knew that he couldn't keep up with her. Musically, she opened his whole-wide world..up. She introduced him to Jimi Hendrix (he divorced her over allegations that she and Jimi were doing the horizontal MC Hammer, but she vehemently denies this, I believe her). She turned him on so much that he began to create that psychadelic jazz fusion i.e. Bitches Brew. If you don't know much 'bout Betty, I wanted to take the time to school you. Look & Listen. Betty was doing, singing, being things that just were lightyears beyond any stratosphere known to man at the time and especially not known to woman.


















That is a START to whet your appetite. There is plenty more where that came from but alas, not nearly enough.

Love to Ms. Betty Davis...
