Funk Funky Funky......... Funk queen Betty Davis' debut album will change your life ! This highly enjoyable album drips with a certain "bitchin- funk" toughness and raw power that only Davis could pull off. Her voice is gruff and angular while her band are tight and hip ! Music enthusiasts will be interested to hear that Mr. Neal Schon (aka Santana) appears on this album playing some great rock guitar riffs along with Madrill's Doug Rodrigues and Patrice Banks (Graham Central Station). According to the history of this album Betty Davis had been writing music at the time for the Commodores and a few of these tracks managed to land on this album vs their album! Of course Betty was married at one time to Jazz king Miles Davis which clearly helped influence her circle of musicians. This album grooves and just keeps on going and going and going. This may be my favourite funk album of all time......
