    She deserved to be as big as Tina Turner but the times couldn't handle this much heat!

    July 26, 1945 - February 9, 2022. Thank you for sharing your incredible talent with us, Betty. A true pioneer light years ahead of your time. We weren't worthy. Rest in peace, dear soul. Fly on... 💜

      @SMC Gmail My exact same thoughts. No she was not 'before her time'. By the late 70's I was heavily into funk and she was performing with musicians who were defining the genre, and some who were creating funk fusion. Funk WAS the 70's. Betty was a woman of her time. We weren't always 'old people' !

    • @maitrerestefond4055

      Musically she was in her time and a wonderful artist, that is, she is timeless. BUT : somehow for women’s right of speech she was ahead. No other women singer would sing about woman pleasure and sexuality so openly and crudely back then. She was a strong influence on many funk artists

    No I don’t wanna love you
    Cause I know how you are
    That’s why I’ve been staying away from you
    That’s why I haven’t called you
    Cause I know you could possess my body
    I know you could make me scrawl
    I know could have me shaking
    I know you could have me climbing walls
    That’s why I don’t wanna love you
    Cause I know how you are
    Sure you say you’re right on and you’re righteous
    But with me I’d know you’d be right off
    Cause you know I could possess your body too, don’t cha?
    You know I could make you crawl
    And just as hard as I’d fall for you, boy
    Well You know you’d fall for me harder
    That’s why I don’t wanna love you
    Cause I’d know what you’d do to my heart
    You’d scorch it just like a hot iron
    Leave me burning alone in the dark
    Cause I know you’d could make me suffer
    I know you could drive me mad
    I know you’d just take me in a circle
    And when it got real I know you’d disappear
    That’s why I ain’t gonna love you
    Cause I know you like to be in charge
    But with me you know you couldn’t control me, don’t cha?
    Cause you know I’d make you drop your guard
    Cause I’d have you eating your ego
    I’d make you pocket your pride
    And just as hard as I’d be loving you, boy
    Well you know you’d be loving me harder
    That’s why I don’t wanna love you
    No no no
    I said I don’t wanna love you
    No no no no no no
    I said I ain’t gonna
    No no no
    I said I don’t wanna
    No no no no no

    I wonder... if anyone would convince Betty to go on stage again, would we just be disappointed (who knows how she looks at 66) or would she handle it? (One or two supporting girls on stage handling dancing and all that might be needed.) Her music feels a lot more modern today, she might have a chance to finally become the funk queen. And at the same time I wonder if there are more tunes than the 5 albums, some more tunes in the archives. Just dreaming, just because she is so good.

    Hey Guys,
    I have been a Betty Davis fan since the early 90's when her albums first resurfaced. Coming from Australia I'd never heard anything like her sound and her voice. She infused me and my life from the first listening.
    I haven't stopped boogieing to her music since! So much so that I created a show about her because I felt people should know about this wonderful musician. The show is called "They Say She's Different", and celebrates her life, talent, and music, head to www.theysayshesdifferent.com to know more!
    Cheers
