Raw ass funk. Primo backing band too, some of the best parts of Sly & The Family Stone and Graham Central Station, not to mention Neil Schon. Also, The Pointer Sisters on backup vox.

Her records are awesome - amazing reissues as well. I think the 'unreleased' album, Is It Love Or Desire is great as well. I love the backing band so much, so tight and such a great sound. Probably one of the most attractive women I have ever seen to boot.

Go burn in the fires of Hell.

That's worse than bringing up Bullet For My Valentine when someone is talking about My Bloody Valentine(and I know that's happened to every one of us).

Oh, it is a good song. Betty Davis is just one of those very difficult artists to talk about without somebody totally mistaking her for someone else.

I'm sorry I was so harsh. You know I love ya baby. It's just when I get to drinkin' that I get angry. And I only hitcha because I love ya so much. You know that, don't you? /emotionally manipulative pimp

what the world really needed was a musical throwdown between Betty Davis and Millie Jackson. i'd have paid real US dollars to see that. too funky for the EPA.

"some of the best parts of Sly & The Family Stone and Graham Central Station, not to mention Neil Schon. Also, The Pointer Sisters on backup vox."

East Bay funk, y'all.

Millie Jackson is some fuckin' tight shit.... I was helping my mother in law clean out her basement last year and among other things (like Pink Floyd bootlegs and some Moondog LPs) I came across a fantastic copy of Caught Up and The Flirtations LP...... what a fine day...... I love free records that are awesome.......
