Betty Davis (Self-Titled)


Year : 1973
Label : Just Sunshine Records
Genre : Soul, Rock

Funk-Rock album by the rebel woman Betty Davis, known as the spearhead of the Miles Davis electrification. She introduced Miles to Jimmy Hendrix and persuaded him to explore Rock 'N' Roll music. She was the first woman to include explicit lyrics and sexual contents in her songs with a screaming and ravaging tone. She released only three albums from 1973 to 1975 before to retire of the musical industry.  Produced by Greg Errico, former member of legendary Sly & The Family Stone, it features an amazing line-up including Larry Graham from the same band, Neal Schon from the Santana backing band, Greg Adams from Tower Of Power and Sylvester and The Pointer Sisters in charge of chorus.
