BETTY DAVIS, QUEEN OF FUNK, DEAD AT 77

Featured Replies

Ms. Betty Davis was a huge influence on music.  She inspired her ex-husband, legendary trumpeter Miles Davis to stretch the boundaries of Jazz. 😎

Following that three-year spurt of material — and following a year in Japan where she spent time with silent monks — Davis abruptly left the music industry, moving to the Pittsburgh area where she lived for the next 40 years without making new music.

“When I was told that it was over, I just accepted it,”

My favorite lines.
