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...
